PearlKB814/3 Beater Setting Key Bolt 3-Pack
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A three-pack of Pearl beater-setting key bolts — the small bolts that lock a bass drum beater at your chosen height and angle. Replacement hardware, not an upgrade.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a stripped or lost bolt on a Pearl pedal
- Drummers who move a kit often and lose small hardware
- Keeping spares in the stick bag or hardware case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a tone or feel change from their pedal
- Players on non-Pearl pedals without checking the existing bolt first
- Someone who needs a full beater or pedal assembly
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
Key bolt
Tightened with a standard drum key rather than a hex wrench, so no extra tool lives in your bag.
Detail 03
3-pack
One goes in the pedal, two stay spare. Small parts like this get lost during teardown more than they wear out.
Detail 04
Pearl part
Sized for Pearl pedal hardware. On another brand, match the old bolt's thread and length before ordering.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Bolts only — no beater, no pedal, no clamp or bracket included
- 02Pull your old bolt and compare thread and length before ordering
- 03Overtightening strips the head; snug is enough to stop beater slip
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does this bolt actually do?
It clamps the beater shaft in the pedal so your beater stays at the height and angle you set. A worn or missing one lets the beater creep as you play.
02Do I need a drum key?
Yes. It is a key bolt, so a standard drum key tightens it. No hex wrench or screwdriver needed.
03Will it fit a non-Pearl pedal?
It is made for Pearl hardware. Other brands sometimes use the same thread, but remove your existing bolt and compare thread and length first.
04Why buy three?
These get dropped and lost during setup and teardown. The pack gives you the replacement plus two spares to keep in a case.
