Vic FirthRe-Cover Kit For BD2 Bass Mallet
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement cover and hardware for re-covering a worn Vic Firth BD2 bass drum mallet head. For drummers who already own the BD2.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring a BD2 whose felt has flattened or torn
- Concert bass players keeping a familiar mallet in service
- Schools maintaining a stock of bass mallets cheaply
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a BD2 — it fits that mallet only
- Drummers who want a different weight or hardness of mallet
- Players who want a ready-to-play mallet out of the box
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
BD2-specific fit
Sized to the BD2 head. Other bass mallets, including other Vic Firth models, will not match.
Detail 03
Fresh covering material
A new surface restores the original attack and evens out the dead spots a compressed head develops.
Detail 04
Price is a fraction of a new mallet
Re-covering is the cheap path when the shaft and core are still sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your mallet is a BD2 — the kit is not universal
- 02No mallet, shaft, or core included, only the covering
- 03Re-covering takes some hand work; budget time, not just money
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with the mallet?
No. It is the covering kit only. You need an existing BD2 bass mallet to re-cover.
02Will it fit my other bass drum mallets?
It is made for the BD2. Other models differ in head size and shape, so fit is not guaranteed.
03Why re-cover instead of buying new?
If the shaft and core are still good, only the striking surface wears. Re-covering costs far less than a new mallet.
04How many mallets does one kit cover?
The kit is sold to re-cover a BD2 head. For a matched pair, buy accordingly.
