50. New Invention “Stop The Creep” is featured on our Countdown to NAMM 2016

December 2, 2015

For number 50, we wanted to bring to your attention a new invention which will help drummers end the bass drum creep! Gary Benson of Benson Music in Santa Rosa, California came up with a solution to a never ending problem when he was playing drums. If you are not familiar with the bass drum creep, it is when the bass drum slides during play. We have been to shows where the drummer lugs around heavy carpets, bricks, sand bags, everything to keep the bass drum from creeping on the vocalist, even worse, the front of the stage!

So Gary came up with a prototype and has since fine tuned and perfected the device. He started a Kickstarter campaign “Stop The Creep” in hopes of launching the invention at NAMM 2016. Check out a video on it:

So for more information on this innovative and useful invention, check out his social media pages. Hopefully we will see him at NAMM!
