Kick Block at a glance

The problem

Outgrew the home setup; inefficient storage and fulfillment.

The solution

Flexible, all-in-one warehouse space with onsite shipping, inventory tools, and shared equipment.

The results

2x business growth in 12 months; faster fulfillment; scalable operations.

Kick Block, founded by touring drummer Will Butera, creates smart accessories for drummers, starting with a simple solution to keep the bass drum in place. What began as a one-man operation in a parent's basement quickly gained traction. With WareSpace, Will found not just more room, but the tools, flexibility, and community to grow, and a business that's doubled since moving in.

Before WareSpace: the growing pains

Touring drummer Will Butera built a solution to keep his bass drum from sliding mid-performance, but once orders took off, running a product business from a six-foot-ceiling basement became a daily struggle.

Limited storage, slow fulfillment, and endless trips to FedEx were costing him time, energy, and opportunity.

It was a mess. I'd knock stuff over, curse, get yelled at by my parents, and I was in my late 20s. It just wasn't sustainable.

Making the switch: finding their fit

Will stumbled across WareSpace online and found more than he expected: a fully equipped warehouse with loading docks, shelving, and all-in pricing that made budgeting simple.

Short lease terms meant he could scale without the stress, and when Kick Block outgrew its first unit, upgrading was a quick conversation with no red tape.
