DWWood Bass Drum Pedal Beater with Weight
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A wood bass drum beater with an add-on weight. For drummers who want a drier attack and more mass behind each stroke.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers wanting a harder, more defined kick attack
- Adding mass for a heavier feel without changing pedals
- Swapping out a stock felt beater on an existing pedal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a soft, round thump from felt
- Anyone worried about marking an unprotected drum head
- Drummers who prefer a light, fast beater feel
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
Included weight
Mass moved further out means more force at the head and a heavier feel returning under your foot.
Detail 03
Weight placement on the shaft
Where the mass sits changes the swing. Further from the pivot hits harder and rebounds slower.
Detail 04
Fits a pedal's beater clamp
It replaces your current beater. Fit depends on your pedal's clamp and shaft diameter, not the brand on the box.
Detail 05
$41.99
Costs more than a plain felt beater. The weight and the wood head are what you're paying for.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your pedal's beater clamp and shaft diameter before ordering

- 03Sold as a beater only, not a pedal
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my pedal?
It mounts in a standard beater clamp, but shaft diameters and clamp designs vary. Measure your current beater's shaft and compare before ordering.
02How does wood sound compared to felt?
Harder and drier. You get a sharper, more audible attack and better definition in a mix. Felt gives a softer, rounder low thump.
03Do I need a bass drum patch?
Strongly recommended. A hard wood beater concentrates impact on one spot and can wear or mark a head faster than felt.
04What does the weight actually do?
It adds mass to the swing, so each stroke lands harder and the beater feels heavier coming back. Moving it further out increases both effects.
