YamahaMedium Felt Bass Drum Beater
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A medium-hardness felt beater for a bass drum pedal. For drummers who want a warmer, rounder kick sound than plastic or wood gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Jazz, acoustic and studio work where a softer kick attack fits
- Replacing a worn beater that has flattened on one side
- Keeping a spare in the stick bag for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Metal and hard rock players who want sharp, clicky attack
- Anyone needing a beater that survives heavy playing without wear
- Drummers wanting to swap surfaces without changing beaters
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
Medium hardness
Sits between soft and hard felt. Enough definition to cut through a band without a hard slap.
Detail 03
Single-surface beater
No flip-side option. You get one sound, so choose based on the tone you actually play.
Detail 04
Standard bass drum beater
Mounts on a pedal's beater shaft with a set screw. Height and angle are adjusted at the pedal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pedal is not included. This replaces the beater only

- 03Felt wears and compresses over time and will need eventual replacement
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my bass drum pedal?
It uses a standard beater shaft that most pedals accept via a set screw. Confirm your pedal takes standard-diameter beaters before ordering.
02Felt or plastic beater?
Felt gives a warmer, rounder thump with less click. Plastic gives sharper attack that cuts in loud, high-gain settings.
03Will it damage my bass drum head?
Felt is gentler on a batter head than plastic or wood. Heads still wear at the impact point over time.
04Does it come with a pedal or hardware?
No. This is the beater alone. It mounts to the pedal you already own.
