The acoustic gig champ

Animale 06.08.2020

It will shine with small basedrums, floortoms modified as basedrums, or percussion footholders attached to your kick pedal.

The beater feels and looks like quality, and plays like that too.

It's a pity it's so short, because the soft competitors are almost double the price of this one.
But on the other hand, it doesn't matter if this will hit below center: it won't hurt your skin at all, and it's meant to be damped, quiet anyway. I used this during a few sessions and haven't seen wear signs or it being flattened on one side.
They should make this with a longer beater stick!

just wanted a shorter beater rod

a Tamás 27.09.2022

I bought this beater because of the shorter rod, to be able to hit the centre of an 18" floor tom converted to a bass drum. My pedal does not allow the beater to poke out at the other end, it blocks the rod at the bottom. With this beater at the lowest position it beats the centre of my 18" slightly raised kick-tom and at its highest position it hits the centre of my 22" bass drum. To my surprise, it even worked on the 22" without any internal muffling (and I do let the beater bounce back from the head).

I also tried it on a cajon, it produces a bassier but softer sound compared to my other cajon beater which has a smaller rubber head. It also activates the cajon's snare wires less. The difference is probably due to this beater hitting the cajon lower and making contact with a larger surface.

The feel of the pedal is slightly different with the huge beater head but I imagine the head could be swapped out for a different one if you just need the shorter rod but a different feel or volume.

It was about half the price of other fluffy beaters when I bought it.

Love it for quieter practice

bvaes 03.04.2021

Fits perfectly on my 18" kick and is way quieter than a standard felt beater. Transfers the sound immediately the a softer, warmer and 'vintage' sound.
The lighter weight can be something to get used to.
It should fit a 20" kick too, any larger than that will depend on your pedal.

Great for Cajun type drum

Dak B 25.04.2019

I use this beater on a plywood box, like a cajun but with a thicker "skin". It gives a lovely round and bassy thud, with very little attack from the wood. Perfect.

Smooth sounds for quiet volumes and round tones

J.Terry 07.01.2018

The beater has a great feel on the drum and completely transforms the sound. The sound of the bass drum loses most of its attack but gains a lot of low end, and in my case, sustain. (you probably won't notice any difference in sustain if you have a really low tuned bass drum, but remove any muffling and tune the bass drum up to see results in sustain) It also seems to make the kick drum sound really "round".

Only bad thing I noticed was that the beater is really short, so it probably won't work too well with bigger drums. Even a 20" might be a stretch.
