Morris Palter

"An Instrument Born Out Of Necessity"

The MultiBass was released in 2012, and designed in collaboration with Morris Palter, BSP Artist. Like many percussionists, Morris was searching for a bass drum that was as versatile as his performance experience. Not only did the drum need to be innovative and well designed, but also user friendly with an exceptional sound. All Black Swamp Hallmarks and standards of Morris Palter.

MultiBass Features

Telescoping Legs

Attached legs are made from lightweight aluminum, and quickly adjust up or down to easily position the drum angled or flat. Legs tuck away against the shell for transport.

Low Profile Hoop

Hoop lugs are attached directly to the low profile hoop, and will not shift around like traditional claws. Shorter hoops decrease stick interference during performance.

One of my favorite instruments is the Multibass... it has a full rich sound and is built for chamber music, multi percussion solos and percussion ensemble.
