Extensive research and
development have been combined with years of competitive experience
to produce a line of pipe band percussion equipment tailor made to
suit the requirements of today's pipe band drummers.
Hosbilt™ Bass Harness
 The need for a harness with full lumbar support and fully adjustable shoulder straps led Hosbilt™ to develop the
new Hosbilt™
Bass Harness.
The Hosbilt™
Bass Harness is designed for your drumming comfort.
Through extensive research & development, Hosbilt™ worked with
physiotherapists, chiropractors, and Bill Ostrom of Ostrom Outdoors
- one of the World’s greatest back pack makers.
The harness can convert most existing shoulder hook type carriers into a well padded, flexible shoulder system, complete with lumbar support.
Simply remove the hooks on your carrier and bolt on the quick snap adaptors, and you are ready for the most comfortable marching percussion experience ever.
It was originally intended to replace the shoulder hooks on most carriers.
If it is a first time harness purchase they now come with a simple yet effective aluminium cross bar with hook and padding.
The harness was designed so that you can worry about your music and not your back.
Craig's L5 loves it! You should make your playing experience as comfortable as possible.
Hosbilt™ Tenor Slings
 Craig
spent much of the 1980's Craig sewing slings together for tenor and
snare drummers. With the advent of the snare carriers, demand tapered off. It seams now that it was time to re-invent the wheel so to speak. A number of requests for slings were coming in so, now we have the Hosbilt™
Tenor Slings with or without waist belts. The waist belt model helps
to bear some of the load onto the hips and off of the shoulder. The regular model is for the more traditional approach of slinging the drum
and is favoured by several Grade 1 midsections.
Jim Kilpatrick Snare Carrier
 The
Jim Kilpatrick Snare Carrier is manufactured by Randall May International
- the world leader in drum carriers and stands.
The revolutionary design is lightweight, collapsible and durable, providing snare drummers with new levels of comfort while the drum is positioned at the optimum height and angle for precision playing. Tried and tested by the best
soloists and drum corps in the world, this is a must have for all serious snare drummers.
Jim Kilpatrick Bass Carrier
 The brand new
Jim Kilpatrick
Bass Carrier is also manufactured by Randall May International - the world leader in
drum carriers and stands.
This is the first lightweight, collapsible and durable
bass carrier, providing bass drummers with new levels of comfort while the drum is positioned at the optimum height and angle for precision playing.
It is also the first carrier to incorporate airbag technology which
removes contact with the carrier and the instrument to promote
optimum sound.
Hosbilt™ by Agner Snare Sticks
 The Hosbilt™ model was originally created to fill the need for drummers who loved the original Neil stick of the past. The length is 410mm with a head diameter of 16.1mm and end diameter of 19.2 mm. Each pair is pitch and weight paired. The sticks are
precision manufactured by Agner of Switzerland,using only Canada's finest hard maple to give the optimum sound and feel that
pipe band drummers desire. With 20 years experience transforming
professional drummer's ideas and dreams into reality, the Hosbilt™ by Agner
is the perfect rival for the old Neil snare sticks.
Twisted Thistle "Hoss Model" Bass Mallets
 The Twisted Thistle "Hoss Model" is a custom version of the Twisted Thistle dedicated to and played by three times World Bass Champion Craig Colquhoun. The "Hoss Model" consists of an injection moulded foam head bonded to a sugar maple shaft and is designed in such a way as to allow the player to produce a consistent sound on the drum head regardless of the angle of stroke. The "Hoss Model" includes ergonomic enhancements to the shaft providing improved comfort, balance and control.
