The original Leather Daddy
Nothing plays like a Low Boy. The iconic conical shape and solid-wood construction give you unbeatable punch and output despite a low playing weight. So whether you're a rocker or a bopper, Low Boy bass beaters give you the projection, clarity, and control you're after, all at a size that won't weigh you down.
Select maple construction
Low Boy's North American hard maple beater heads and flat striking surfaces deliver a powerful punch from behind the kit and a hearty, balanced attack out to your listeners. Low Boy's pinpoint striking surfaces reduce mud and low-end buildup, for articulation and definition that really cuts through a mix.
Made in the USA
Unlike other beaters on the market, every Low Boy is built to last a lifetime. From their unbendable aerospace-grade stainless steel shafts to their premium maple beater heads, each of Low Boy's USA-made, Colorado-completed components is guaranteed against defects for life. So if you're looking for a beater that's got legs to go the distance for your next session or tour, Low Boy bass drum beaters are a sound investment.
The beater that hits like a bus
The Sweetwater bus, that is. We worked closely with the team at Low Boy on the design of this beater. It is strongly inspired by the color scheme of our Founder and Chairman Chuck Surack's Volkswagen Microbus, the vehicle that housed a mobile recording studio and started the engines for Sweetwater. Now, you can show your favorite music retail store a little love with every kick!
