KickBlock® Featured on Beyoncé Tour, Showcasing Industry-Leading Drum Stabilization Technology

Music equipment startup gains spotlight as top drummers rely on innovative gear to stop drum slippage

LOS ANGELES, CA — [Date] — KickBlock®, a leading innovator in drum performance gear, announced today that its flagship bass drum stabilizer was featured on the recent Beyoncé tour, reinforcing the product’s value and durability for touring professionals. The KickBlock®—an ultra-portable, shock-absorbing barrier designed to prevent bass drum movement—was used as part of the live performance setup, highlighting its growing adoption among elite drummers and global touring artists.

Designed to combat the persistent issue of "bass drum creep," the KickBlock® has gained momentum in the music equipment industry as a simple yet highly effective solution for drummers at all levels. With a sturdy Velcro® Ultra-Grip system and non-damaging foam materials, the product locks bass drums securely into place on any compatible drum rug, delivering studio-level stability on even the most complex performance setups.

Purpose-Built Gear for Real-World Performance

KickBlock® has quickly distinguished itself in a competitive market by solving a universal problem for drummers: instrument slippage during live shows and rehearsal. Whether due to stage vibrations, energetic playing styles, or slick flooring, movement of key drum components can compromise precision and focus mid-performance.

To address this challenge, KickBlock built its product line around high-friction, shock-absorbing foam blocks that hold instrumental components steady using a proprietary Ultra-Grip Velcro® system. The anchor product—the KickBlock® itself—is joined by companion options such as PedalBlock, designed for preventing hi-hat stand and double pedal shifts. Available with either standard or deluxe drum rugs, the system supports a wide range of performance needs, from touring professionals to weekend hobbyists.

“Drummers have been fighting pedal and drum slippage for decades—we built KickBlock® to end that battle,” said a spokesperson for KickBlock. “Seeing our gear on the Beyoncé tour was a proud moment, not just for our team but for every drummer who values gear that works as hard as they play.”

Standout Features Driving Customer Adoption

Unlike traditional methods that rely on sandbags, homemade wedges, or adhesive solutions that can damage floors and instruments, KickBlock® products are:

• Lightweight and compact, ideal for travel and touring
• Engineered for compatibility with standard drum rugs and hardware setups
• Manufactured with soft, durable foam to prevent wear or scratches on instruments
• Trusted by professionals, including touring musicians and studio drummers

Patented for maximum staying power during high-impact performances, KickBlock enhances both confidence and consistency for performers by preventing gear drift that can disrupt tempo or player comfort. Its simple configuration also makes it a smart solution for teaching environments and practice studios where stability is key.

Trusted on Major Stages and in Everyday Setups

As word of mouth spreads throughout the music community, stories continue to pour in from artists who’ve seen performance improvement simply by anchoring their gear with KickBlock.

Having been seen on tour with Beyoncé—one of the world’s highest-grossing live acts—KickBlock® has entered the mainstream eye as a trusted piece of professional drum hardware. Its use in such high-stakes environments underscores the product’s durability and relevance in solving real-world performance challenges.

Looking Ahead

With growing visibility among both independent musicians and A-list touring professionals, KickBlock is poised for continued growth in the global music equipment market. As more artists, educators, and studios seek affordable and effective drum stabilization systems, the company remains committed to developing high-quality, non-invasive solutions that elevate the live performance and practice experience.
