GibraltarSC-3261 Bass Drum Batter
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibraltar SC-3261 bass drum batter — the striking part that mounts on a bass drum pedal shaft. A replacement or spare, not a pedal.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a worn batter on an existing bass drum pedal
- Keeping a spare in the stick bag for gigs
- Changing the attack of your kick without buying a new pedal
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs a bass drum pedal — this is only the batter
- Double-pedal players who need two matched batters from one order
- Drummers looking for a bass drum head
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
Batter, not a pedal
You're changing the contact point only. Pedal feel, spring tension and footboard stay exactly as they are.
Detail 03
Height adjustable on the shaft
Where you set it changes where it strikes the head, which shifts tone from punchy center to rounder off-center.
Detail 04
Gibraltar hardware sizing
Built to the common beater shaft diameter, so it fits most standard bass drum pedals rather than one brand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your pedal's beater shaft diameter before ordering
- 02No pedal, spring or drum head is included
- 03A patch on the bass drum head protects it from repeated strikes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a bass drum head or a beater?
It's the batter that strikes the head, mounted on your pedal's shaft. It is not a drumhead.
02Will it fit my pedal?
It uses the common beater shaft size found on most standard bass drum pedals. Measure your existing beater rod if you're running an older or unusual pedal.
03Do I need two for a double pedal?
Yes. This is one batter. A double pedal needs a second so both sides feel and sound the same.
04How do I set the height?
Loosen the pedal's clamp, slide the batter so it hits near the center of the head, then retighten with a drum key.
