- Chasing a harder, more defined kick attack

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting a soft, rounded thud
- Anyone needing a beater for a non-standard pedal shaft
- Players who want a complete pedal, not a part
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
HardCore construction
Built for a firmer, more articulate attack than a plain felt beater gives.
Detail 03
Standard beater shaft
Mounts in the pedal's beater clamp with a drum key. No tools beyond that.
Detail 04
Height set at the clamp
Raising or lowering the shaft moves the contact point. Dead center gives the most punch, off-center softens it.
Detail 05
$34.82
Mid-range for a beater. Priced above basic felt replacements, below multi-surface specialty models.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Beater only. No pedal, clamp or mounting hardware included
- 02Check your pedal's beater shaft diameter accepts a standard beater
- 03A harder beater wears a bass head faster. Consider a kick patch
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit pedals other than DW?
It uses a standard beater shaft, so most pedals with a standard beater clamp will take it. Confirm your clamp diameter first.
02How do I set the height?
Loosen the beater clamp with a drum key, slide the shaft so the beater strikes the center of the head, then retighten.
03Will it damage my bass drum head?
A hard beater concentrates impact. Fit an impact patch where it strikes to protect the head.
04Do I need two for a double pedal?
Yes. Each pedal board drives its own beater, so a double pedal needs a matched pair.
