Detail 01
Hoop-mounted

PearlBDR-1 Bass Drum Rim Shooter
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Pearl attachment that mounts to a bass drum hoop and gives the beater a hard surface to strike, adding a sharp click to the drum's note.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cutting through a loud band mix without miking the kick
- Adding attack to a deep, boomy bass drum
- Drummers who want more click without changing heads or beaters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players after a soft, round kick tone
- Anyone whose beater strikes well below the hoop line
- Drummers wanting a full hoop or head replacement
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
Beater strike surface
The beater contacts a hard plate at the same moment it hits the head, layering a click over the low note.
Detail 03
Bolt-on attachment
Comes off as easily as it goes on. You can pull it for a session that needs a rounder kick sound.
Detail 04
$32.99
Far cheaper than swapping heads, beaters or triggers to chase more attack out of the same drum.
Detail 05
Pearl
Designed around Pearl bass drum hoops, so hoop thickness on other brands affects how securely it seats.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No pedal, beater or bass drum included; this attaches to gear you own

- 03Check hoop thickness and clearance around your pedal before mounting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does a rim shooter actually do?
It gives the pedal beater a hard surface on the hoop to strike alongside the head, so each kick carries a sharper click through the mix.
02Will it fit my bass drum?
It mounts to the bass drum hoop and is built around Pearl hoops. Check your hoop's thickness and that the pedal leaves clearance.
03Does it damage the hoop or head?
The beater strikes the attachment, not the wood. Mounting hardware clamps to the hoop, so seat it properly and check tightness periodically.
04Can I remove it later?
Yes. It bolts on and off, so you can run it for loud gigs and take it off when you want a rounder kick.
