Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A flip-over bass drum beater with two striking faces. Buy it to get two kick sounds from one pedal without swapping hardware.

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 01

Dual-sided

Two different striking surfaces on one head. Loosen, rotate, retighten to change attack mid-setup.

Detail 02

Beater only

It replaces the beater on a pedal you already own. No pedal, no footboard, no hardware.

Detail 03

Bass drum beater

Fits the beater shaft clamp on a standard bass drum pedal. Not for hi-hat or auxiliary use.

Detail 04

TAMA hardware sizing

Standard beater shaft diameter, so it generally drops into pedals from other brands as well.

Detail 05

Around $33

The usual price for a real tone change on a kit. Cheaper than a new pedal by a wide margin.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Beater only — you need an existing bass drum pedal
  2. 02Flipping sides means loosening the shaft clamp and resetting beater height
  3. 03A harder face wears a bare bass drum head faster; use a patch

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my pedal?

Bass drum beater shafts are close to universal across brands. Check that your pedal's beater clamp takes a standard shaft and you should be fine.

02How do I switch sides?

Loosen the clamp holding the beater shaft, rotate the beater 180 degrees, retighten. Re-check the height so it still strikes the center of the head.

03Do I need two for a double pedal?

Yes. Each beater covers one shaft, so a double pedal needs a pair if you want both sides matched.

04Will it damage my bass drum head?

A harder striking face wears the head where it lands. A bass drum patch at the contact point prevents that.
