About Bass Drum Pedals and Beaters


A drummer’s bass drum pedal (or kick pedal) is intimately linked to their performance potential. Each pedal is a sophisticated system of springs, cams, and levers capable of turning tiny muscular contractions in the foot and toes into enough striking power to fill an auditorium with churning, thunderous bass.


Suffice it to say, drummers at Sweetwater and throughout the industry are particular about the style of kick pedal they play! And not just about the pedal itself — which may be single or double and driven by straps, chains, or direct metal linkages — but about the kick beater, as well. Striking surfaces, counterweights, and footboard length further allow players to customize their playing experience.


Are you searching for a tool to breathe life into your drumming performances? A new bass drum pedal or bass drum beater could be just the change you’re looking for. Discover for yourself why Sweetwater is the pro’s choice for kick pedals and accessories!


Choosing the Right Pedal for your Playing Style


It’s an unfortunate reality that not every bass drum pedal on the market can be the strongest, swiftest, most stable, and most dynamic all at once. Players generally have to prioritize what’s most important to their playing approach. Maybe it’s a kick pedal that hits like a hammer or one that accelerates from 0 to 60 in a heartbeat.


Jazz players


Jazz drummers, for instance, will most likely appreciate the lightweight sensitivity and whiplike action of the belt-drive Jojo Mayer Perfect Balance single bass drum pedal.


Metal drummers


Technical drummers, on the other hand — players who strive to extract every ounce of emotion from every stroke — may prefer the speed and accuracy of the DW MDD direct-drive double bass drum pedal.


Heavy hitters


Then there are the rock drummers, who may enjoy a kick pedal and beater that fires off like a cannon, such as the dual-chain TAMA Iron Cobra Power Glide single bass drum pedal.


Eyes on the Prize


As you can see, the sky’s the limit when it comes to bass pedal preferences. Keeping your performance goals in mind will help you find the kick pedal that delivers results. And here’s a tip: You can filter pedal options (single pedal vs. double pedal, chain drive vs. direct drive, and more) using the shop filters on this page to quickly home in on the pedal of your dreams.
