experimental

ztuzgg 14.09.2017

this is a really soft beater, defiinetely not for eveyone and for any application, but if you're into some experimenting I would suggest use it , you never know when you will need it especially if you have a small home studio like me, it is good to have it lying around so you can try it out with certain songs etc. One note, be carefull if you're transporting it , don't just leave in the bag with other hardware, base is made from cork so it is fragile, put it in separate pocket or something. Regarding the sound, it really gives you that BOOM from you bass drum that you can't achieve with any other beater. So to sumarize: great for experiment, probably not to be used as main beater, only if you are into some vintage or jazz stuff. Overall, love it !

i didn't buy this beater because i've needed vintage bass sound or something like that. I've buy this beater because i want low volume kick sound with lot of sustain and low end. And i've got what i wanted. Excellent choice.

Bass drum beater - also soft mallet for percussion

Anonymous 21.10.2016

Great warm sound compared to your usual felt beater. Applications range from everything from Jazz to Pop.

I also use it as a mallet for tuned percussion/Cymbals etc when I'm in a pinch.

Finally, I have a 16" bass drum which is mounted on a small riser. The issue with this is that the batter head of the drum comes at an angle, the usual wheel shaped beater only hits with a corner of the surface, which doesn't produce the sound I'm after. This beater remedies this issue as the surface area is so big.

Vintage Bomber

Rippou 12.12.2018

This beater helped me in more ways than I thought it would, it is one of the best drumming purchases I have ever made.

The sound is less defined and is more similar to using a mallet on toms, but this in turn opens up a new way of using the bass drum like a large floor tom. I have always tried to keep that theory in mind while playing, but this beater allowed me to turn that into practice a lot more successfully in an attempt to play more melodically.

I also play an acoustic kit in an apartment building where using the bass drum has always been a problem, but the more mellow sound of this beater mixes in much better with the rest of kit and does not stand out as much as it used to.

I found it to be of great use for jazz drumming, can highly recommend it.
