Highly customizable beater
Nonsensei 20.03.2021
With three different beater surfaces and four weights, this is a highly customizable beater that you can fine tune to your preferences. The weights are a simple yet elegant design element and kudos to whomever came up with the system. Swapping the weights takes a minute, as does the beater surfaces. Very fast and easy to try different weights for the beater and different impact surfaces to adjust the feel and sound of the beater.

You essentially have five weight options, since you can also have no weights for ultra-light feel. If you are feeling super sensitive, you can swap the placement of the weights, but I suspect that's beyond most people's feet to notice a difference.

Pros:
- build quality
- easy and quick to adjust
- a lot of options

Cons:
- not the cheapest, but does the job of several different beaters, so the value is great

Best beater in the market
Matyas S. 17.03.2019
I bought a set just to try it. Turns out, I hit the jackpot. The adjustable beater weight allows you to have a light or a quite heavy beater, with options in between. Also, If you use one less weight on the slave side (in case of double pedals obviously), you almost balanced out the two sides. Only slight adjustments needed as not every shaft weighs the same. It has punch and the self-aligning beater makes sure that the head is always in full contact with the drumhead. The different beater-heads give us the option to tweak our sound a bit more. Only drawback is that it doesn't have a memory lock type of thing so we could use the beater every time the same way (height, angle, etc) I installed the old memory-thingy from my DW5000's beater, so wasn't a big problem for me. If other pedals give you this option too, thats great. Otherwise, some basic memory-clamp thing would be a nice addition. Despite this, HIGHLY-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Great Beater!!
Cristi Diaconu 23.03.2020
Wanted a new beater for my BD and I am very happy with the purchase. Solid, adjustable, well balanced, 3 options of feel included, it works great with my pedal. It's also good for my E-kit, using the plastic beater. Buy it, you can't go wrong with this one!

Excellent low-cost alternative
Bob C. 19.06.2019
This is a clever design, with three pads and weighting options. I use it with my DW5000 pedal and it's great.

Great ballance

Great beater with multi adjustable head. I use the hard felt surface and I have to change it quite often (once or twice a year) but it's cheap (between 3-4€) and easy to replace. I recommend this beater!
