    Wow! Talk about a sudden right turn!

    Guys, as long as there is opinions, there will be disagreements. Doesn't really matter what someone else says, you have the free will to either accept, deny or discuss each others opinions. Once its out there, It's out there and is subject to discussion, but not ridicule.

    It's one of the things I liked about this forum. Everyone usually approaches each other with dignity and respect.

    Now as far as the port, I bought one for the direct reason that it would project the bass sound. It did not fail in this respect. It also did not loose as much resonance as I thought it would. After a little help from Russ, we got it spot on soundwise, and love the projection it gives the bass. I do not reguard them as a gimmick, they work plain and simple. Now is it for everyone? Maybe not. Drumming seems to be noi different than any other hobbie, you have traditionalists, and you have eveyone else. So it may not be for everyone, as far as I'm concerned.

    I like mine, it works as advertised, its good enough for me.

    You are right.

    I should have stated my opinion and left it at that.

    I've got about 7-8 videos up with about 5 different set-ups (just no holes)

    To each his/her own.

    No hard feelings.

    I would think that the drummers that play with no reso head on the BD would have the biggest port.

    Can you look at it that way?

    Any port in a storm...
    You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common:
    they don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views,
    which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

    I like ports on the bass drumhead, but in the case of a few of my ex girlfriends, i'd say I prefer unported!
