The Kelly SHU
A Game Changer for Drummers - The Kelly SHU Review
As a touring drummer, I've utilized the Kelly SHU in all my kits, including the shock-mounted systems seamlessly integrated into my bass drums, rack toms, floor toms, and auxiliary mounted bass drums. The installation process is straightforward, allowing you to achieve the perfect fit for your drum without hassle. I also appreciate the Microphone Cable Management System offered by Kelly Concepts, which lets you set up internal drum mics without needing to drill into the shells—an absolute win for preserving your drums.
The versatility of the Kelly SHU is impressive, with several placement options for the mounting system available at three different price points. This means that no matter your budget, you can find the perfect setup that meets your needs. Given the stellar roster of endorsing artists behind Kelly Concepts, it's clear that they’ve established themselves as a trusted brand in the drumming community.
However, I do have one small critique: while the XLR cable management system is a useful addition, I haven’t found an external XLR port location that I’m completely satisfied with. It’s a minor issue in the grand scheme, but worth mentioning.
Overall, I highly recommend the Kelly SHU for any drummer looking to elevate their sound while maintaining the integrity of their gear. You won’t be disappointed!Fat Chance Creations
**Product Review: Fat Chance Creations**
During my hunt for a reliable snare drum mic attachment, I stumbled upon some discussions on Facebook where friends were raving about Fat Chance Creations and their innovative microphone clips. Intrigued, I decided to give them a try.
I contacted the Fat Chance Creations team, and I must say, their customer service was outstanding. They took the time to explain their products thoroughly, ensuring I got the exact item I needed.
The shipping was impressively quick, and the product matched the description perfectly. The mic attachment clip securely fastens to my snare drum (and other drum rims) using a tension rod and a standard drum key. It's user-friendly, allowing for easy adjustments, which makes achieving the ideal mic placement a breeze every time.Creative Percussion Clap Stax
**Product Review: Creative Percussion Gig Clap**
I recently had the opportunity to try out the Creative Percussion Gig Clap, and I must say, it has quickly become a favorite in my percussion collection.
One of the standout features of the Gig Clap is its availability in three different sizes, which allows for greater versatility during performances. Depending on the venue or style of music, I can easily choose the size that best fits the sound I'm aiming for.
The hand-hammered steel construction is impressive and contributes significantly to the quality of the sound. The Gig Clap produces a "less-dry clap sound," which can add a layer of richness to live performances. This has been particularly beneficial for creating dynamic moments in my sets.
Another aspect I appreciate is how well the Gig Clap integrates with my existing Creative Percussion Stax. Having several Stax in my toolkit, I've found that the Clap Stax complements them perfectly, making it a must-have accessory for all my gigs.
Overall, the Creative Percussion Gig Clap is a top-notch product that delivers exceptional sound quality and versatility. I highly recommend it to any musician looking to enhance their live performances with compelling auxiliary sounds.SHOW AND TOUR DATES 2025
