The Jim Kilpatrick ABS Snare Drum Carrier is the only marching snare carrier developed to support correct posture and playing position, delivering exceptional comfort and freedom of movement while actively promoting healthy posture. Designed for demanding pipe band performance, it allows drummers to play with confidence and stability while reducing physical strain during long rehearsals, parades, and competitions.
 
Incorporating advanced Contour Hinge technology and the new articulating back support with auto release, the ABS carrier moves naturally with the player while maintaining a secure and balanced snare position. This highly advanced design is protected by multiple patents, recognising its innovation and leadership in pipe band carrier technology. The carrier includes the JK snare carrier adaptor as standard. Andante customers should note that the Andante snare drum carrier adaptor is not included and must be purchased separately. The ABS back cushion is not covered under warranty.
 
The Jim Kilpatrick ABS Small Snare Drum Carrier is specifically designed for drummers with a smaller build, offering the same advanced technology and performance benefits in a more compact, ergonomic fit.
 
Please note that 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.
