Gibraltar SC-GPHP-5 Bass Drum Port Hole Protector 5" – Chrome (GI851354)

If you've gone to the effort of cutting a clean port hole in your bass drum resonant head, the last thing you want is for the edge to start fraying or tearing over time. The Gibraltar SC-GPHP-5 snaps onto the cut edge and keeps it exactly as it should be — clean, reinforced, and finished properly.

It's a simple piece of kit, but it does an important job. An unprotected port hole edge is a weak point in the head — vibration, handling and the general wear of regular use can cause the plastic to crack or tear outward from the cut, gradually ruining a head that would otherwise last for years. The protector eliminates that risk entirely.

Finish That Looks the Part

The chrome finish gives it a clean, professional appearance that sits well against most bass drum head designs. It's not just functional — it looks like something that was meant to be there rather than an afterthought. At 5" it's one of the most commonly used port hole sizes, sitting right in the sweet spot between enough opening for comfortable mic placement and enough head surface remaining to keep the resonance intact.

Pairs With the Gibraltar Port Hole Cutter

If you're cutting a new port hole rather than protecting an existing one, the Gibraltar SC-GPHCUT port hole cutter (sold separately) cuts cleanly in the 4"–6" range and is the natural companion tool for this protector. Cut the hole, snap on the protector, and the job's done properly from start to finish.
