Great idea but unfortunately it does not lift my 16" drum high enough to get a 90 degree strike. Pedal beater is not contacting center but rather still too high. I'm thinking of modifying the riser to be 2 " higher so the kick's club hits center. Ads say that it works for bass drums (club size 16") to 22". No problems with bigger drums but not practical unless you modify it to work with a sixteen.

Works great! Simple, fast setup. Stays where you put it. Works better than other brand lifts I have used.
Brilliant device but doesn't work with my pedal

This a great device that I wish I had owned when I was younger--before my the rim and the bottom of my kick drum were marred. I met Artie Dixson at a restaurant where he was playing and he turned me onto the device. While the unit is elegantly practical and affordable, it doesn't work with the Axis pedal that I have been using for over 20 years and really prefer. The unit does not let the beater of my pedal get close enough to the head without hanging up on the rim. So I will show it to some drummer friends and see if perhaps they can use it.

A Must For Bop Kits. Saves Bass Drum Hoop and Sets Beater In The Right Spot. Does Not Slip and Slide or Damage Drum. Great Product!
Does Not Work On All Surfaces

I play a lot on deep pile rugs and carpets, and this lift doesn't work on such surfaces. It is very unsteady except on a hardwood or vinyl floor. A thin gig mat is OK, but not much else thicker than that. The bass drum pedal moves around and slides left-right when on any type of thick rug or carpet.
