Reviews

Very Nice...
I used to be of the opinion that all bass drum beaters are created equal. Plastic, felt, wood, ect., all have their place and particular functions, however, as I enter the latter half of my 30s, I've noticed my body cannot maintain the constant velocity needed to play clean and articulate Skate/Pop-Punk grooves for a solid 45 minute set.

I've now played three gigs with this beater and it has pretty much solved my fatigue issues. This beater is light, solid, responsive, sounds fantastic, and feels great! Yes, you will need a kick patch, given that this beater is wooden and it will eat-up your bass drum head quickly, especially if you are a heavy hitter.

I really hope Innovative Percussion makes a felt version of this beater. I'd love to use a felt beater with the same specs for other genres of music.

overall a really good beater
very very decent price for a quality beater. i can see this lasting at least 5-10 yrs. it is very well balanced, and the wood gives it a nice attack on the head. if only it were slightly heavier, it would definitely be a 5 star rating from me, that's really my only gripe about it.
