The Jim Kilpatrick ABS Bass Drum Carrier is the only pipe band bass carrier engineered to support correct posture and playing position, delivering exceptional comfort, freedom of movement, and long-term physical support. Designed with the demands of marching bass drummers in mind, this lightweight and highly advanced carrier allows players to maintain a natural, balanced stance while performing, reducing strain during long rehearsals, parades, and competitions.
 
Built to achieve the perfect bass drum position, the carrier features an advanced sliding bass drum platform that allows precise height adjustment for optimal playing comfort. Jim Kilpatrick’s signature Advanced Contour Hinge technology works in harmony with the new articulating back support auto-release system, ensuring the drum moves naturally with the player while maintaining stability and control. This innovative design promotes healthy posture without restricting movement, even during demanding performances.
 
The ABS Bass Drum Carrier represents a significant step forward in marching carrier design and is protected by multiple patents recognising its innovation and technology. It is also available in a small-size version, specifically designed to suit bass drummers with a smaller build, ensuring the same level of comfort and performance across all body types.
 
Please note that the ABS back cushion and bass cushion are not covered under warranty. A high tension drum key is required to adjust all Jim Kilpatrick carriers; this is not included with the carrier but can be purchased separately.
