The Standard Pig
No - you're not imagining things - the kick drum beater IS located on the FRONT of GigPig™ drum sets.
The GigPig - GS3
The front mounted kick drum beater is just one of the many fun and exciting features found on GigPig Drum Sets. The beater is positioned in front as a result of the overall design concept which states: "Make a great sounding drum set that is self-contained and easily portable."
Origin
The GigPig was born out of the Cajon – a Latin percussion instrument, made from a wooden box, which is played with the hands while sitting on top. Cajon is Spanish and means box. GigPig, however, has merged the box playing concept with the design and playing style of a modern drum set.
The Drums
Each GigPig drum set is a finely crafted instrument consisting of specially sized resonance chambers inside a birch cabinet. The chambers are sized to provide the optimum tone for each drum.
Maple shells are seated into receiving grooves on the box. The grooves are precisely cut for each size of drum. Quality heads are then installed with heavy duty 2.3 mm chromed steel hoops. Hardware
All hardware for GigPig drum sets is deg drum sets is designed to support the highly compact and portable nature of the instrument.

The bass drum and high hat pedals are attached directly to the box - as are all mechanisms. The pedals are cleverly hinged so that they can be quickly folded up and out of the way for easy transport.
Snare Wires & Resonant Head on Bottom of Box
The 8" snare drum hosts an amazingly large sound thanks to it's deep, oversized resonance chamber - which passes from top to bottom of the cabinet. The batter head is mounted on top while the resonant head and snare wires are mounted on the bottom of the box.
We assure you that you've never heard an 8" snare drum sound this big before.
