Drummer’s Review
X-Percussion the high-tech, hand-crafted drum accessory maker founded by professional drummer Russ Miller and veteran drum designer and craftsman Bill Detamore, today announced the introduction of new CLICK-Mates Pork Pie snare drums and an expanded offering of limited edition CLICKs for 2023. The X-Percussion CLICK instrument provides players with an optimal and enhanced cross-stick sound courtesy of a 24-ply, hybrid North American Hard Rock Maple and pure copper sheet lamination.
“CLICK-Mates pair the craftsmanship and pure tonality of Pork Pie custom snare drums with a factory installed CLICK,” explains Miller. “Players and audio engineers love the CLICK because they can consistently and efficiently execute a cross-stick sound that delivers more volume and increased tonal range than the traditional technique utilizing a flanged metal counterhoop.” The CLICK easily integrates onto any 10-inch through 15-inch diameter snare drum using the proprietary, low-profile Mono Mount system.
New CLICK-Mates are available in eight finishes and two shell types (6.5” x 14” SSP: $499.99-$599.99). The snares can also be custom ordered in any size, shell type or finish option (pricing available upon request).
To celebrate X-Percussion’s expanded line and legendary family of artists, the company has also launched four models of the inaugural Artist Signature Edition or CLICK-AE for 2023 (SSP: $79.99). Each finish is hand-selected by the artist and includes:
Dennis Chambers (Canary Yellow)
Jeff Hamilton (Gloss Black)
Russ Miller (Wavy Ebony)
Steve Smith (Chrome)
Last but not least, four brand new finish options are being added to the Limited Edition CLICK Series offering (SSP: $69.99). “Black Chrome and Brass are perfect for any modern or vintage black nickel and polished brass snare drum.” Miller says, “For a more organic look, drummers can choose more understated Shadow Maple or Flame Maple finishes.”
All X-Percussion products are handcrafted in the U.S. and include a limited lifetime warranty.
