GibraltarSC-3262 Solid Wood Bass Drum Beater
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A solid wood bass drum beater for Gibraltar and most standard pedals. Buy it for a warmer, more rounded attack than a plastic beater.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Softening a plastic beater's click for jazz or acoustic sets
- Keeping a spare beater in the hardware bag
- Replacing a worn or cracked stock beater
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Metal players wanting maximum attack and trigger definition
- Drummers who need a felt beater's softer, drier thud
- Pedals with a non-standard beater shaft clamp
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
Bass drum beater
Slots into the pedal's beater rod clamp, so the same part works on single and double pedals.
Detail 03
Wood contact surface
Wears a flat spot over time and can mark or dent a thin bass drum head faster than felt.
Detail 04
SC-3262 replacement part
Sold as a service part, so it ships as one beater rather than a matched double-pedal pair.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One beater only — double pedal players need two for matched feel
- 02Check your pedal's shaft diameter and clamp opening before ordering
- 03A bass drum patch protects the head from wood contact
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a non-Gibraltar pedal?
Most pedals use a standard beater shaft, so it usually fits. Measure your existing beater rod against the clamp opening on your pedal if you are unsure.
02How does wood compare to felt?
Wood is harder. You get more attack and a clearer point in the note, where felt gives a rounder, drier thud with less definition.
03Will it damage my bass drum head?
It can mark the head over time since wood is harder than felt. A stick-on bass drum impact patch takes the wear instead of the head.
04Is this a pair or a single beater?
A single beater. If you play a double pedal, order two so both sides have the same weight and contact surface.
