Product Review from John Hampton – Grammy Winning Producer and Engineer (ZZ Top, White Stripes, Gin Blossoms, Jimmie Vaughan)
“I’ve always loved the sound of a bass drum miked with a U47 Neumann microphone, but most drummers hit so hard that the mic will overload, even with a pad in it!
But with “Speakerhead” on a bass drum, I’m somehow able to put together a really good, deep yet punchy sound that trumps a standard, “good” sound, with no overload. It’s quite a remarkable choice that meets all of my parameters for a fabulous bass drum sound.”
– John Hampton
Review from Mike Wilson – Recording Engineer at Ardent Studios
“That Speakerhead kick drum we used was one of the sickest kick sounds I’ve ever gotten out of the studio! I put my normal mic setup and barely touched it after that! Anywhere I put a mic, there was a different amazing sound! Absolutely no eq and every hit was as consistent and punchy as the last! Poked out of the mixes like dream. I can’t wait to hear the Toms!!”

One of Memphis’ busiest drummers, Andrew McNeill shares his experience in the studio with SpeakerHeads inventor Bill Ruffino
“We played our first 2 shows since installing the head and sound guys were blown away with the sound. They first thought it was gimmicky until our sound check.” Pretty sure we sold some for ya for to the bands we played with… In the next few weeks we will begin tracking with it and I can’t wait.”

“Just got my pair the other day, loving them, and so are all my friends! they sound insane and look even better. thank you for providing the solution to the problem I didn’t know I had!”
“Everywhere I’ve taken them everyone tells me they’ve never seen anything like it, and how much they love them. I love that they give me the ability to play the kick drum as it was meant to be played, and when paired with an Emad kick head, provides a perfectly controlled kick sound.
I feel like it drastically simplifies my kick drum tuning experience.”
