Evans Dixon bass drum lift

Comments:

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

Comments:

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

Comments:

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.

buy it!

Comments:

My original quest was "how do I not mangle my beautiful new hoops on my lovely new Ludwigs" After lamenting that it may be the usual purchase of bass drum hoop protectors which rarely work, I came across this! it works people, I have a 24 x 20 bass drum that now sits parallel with the floor, it sings, my hoops remain untouched, nothing is gripping anything and I have to tell you, that bass drum does not move. it is a simple but brilliant idea and is something you should support, buy buy buy and thank me later!

Be more Dixson

Comments:

I put this on an 18' bass drum and I thought it could be a little better designed and made--the craftsmanship on this is not that great. Nothing on mine was carefully made--the bottom plastic piece was flimsy and all of the velcro and foam was taped on crooked. As far as performance, the lift is made so that you can not adjust the distance from the beater to the head. I find this very frustrating. You can only put the BD pedal on the plate and the drum rests where the rim meets the lift. It is light and handy but could use some real refinements.

Great product BUT make sure to check your BD legs

Comments:

If you have a vintage bass drum w/o retractable spurs you need the spur extenders to make this work.
