Featherlight Wood/Leather Bass Drum Beater
The artisan-grade Low Boy Lightweight Leather Daddy bass beater gives you speed and definition without sacrificing power and tone — and is 20% lighter than the standard Low Boy. This low-profile beater head is built from premium hard maple and features a flat leather striking surface — a semi-hard material that sits sonically between felt and wood — to deliver a round, snappy attack. Plus, this one-of-a-kind beater features a color scheme that pays homage to Sweetwater's roots and history. If you’re a precision player who’s looking for style, output, and articulation, you’ll find it in the Low Boy Lightweight Leather Daddy Beater from Sweetwater.

Plays light, hits hard
At around 80 grams each, Low Boy’s Lightweight bass beaters are some of the lightest wood options on the market. The reduced mass and low-profile design yields a lightning-fast attack and speedy return, with power and punch that defies its featherweight construction. The Lightweight collection is built for any player — jazz, gospel, or metal — who needs accuracy down to the last millisecond. Low Boy Lightweight Beaters are an essential for any technical single- and double-bass player.
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 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 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!
