American-made Wood/Lambswool Bass Drum Beater

Low Boy bass beaters have more in common with artisan furniture than they do traditional kick drum beaters. Each of these quick-traveling, heavy-hitting beaters features a beater head of precision-made North American hard maple for incredible performance and surpassing beauty and durability. A pillowy striking surface of top-quality shearling lambswool equips the Low Boy Puff Daddy for barely-there jazz feathering to serious classic rock head and shell warming. It's tethered to an aerospace-grade stainless steel shaft to deliver years of flex-free dependable kick performance, even under the heaviest feet. Concerned about longevity? Replaceable lambswool tips (sold separately) keep your beater looking fresh and sounding great for years to come. Experience a new standard in wool bass drum beaters — step up to the Low Boy Puff Daddy bass beater, available now at Sweetwater.

The original Puff Daddy (the other one)

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.

Replaceable lambswool tips (sold separately) keep your Puff Daddy looking fresh and sounding great for years to come.

Perfect for feathering

I wanted a soft beater for quieter gigs or practicing in my apartment. Most reviews of typical round fleece beaters report they don't hold up well. I love my Low Boy wood beater so I ordered the Puff Daddy model.
Just what I was looking for. The Puff end delivers the "feathering" I want with the same feel as the hard wood beater. Sounds soft but firm. I ordered replacement Puff inserts, so even if the fleece wears out I can replace it without needing to buy a new beater.
Big fan of Low Boy: great design,excellent sound, looks cool, too.
Music background: Been drumming for 50+ years, still gigging
Rated 5/5

From BAP to BOOM

Same bass drum. Same head.

Traditional hard felt beater attacks with a plastic sound.
This Low Boy softens the attack and brings out the warmth.

You can hit hard with it too. Not just light jazzy playing.
The main limitation is it's not what you'd want for super fast double strokes.

I've shown it off to sound guys, placing it side by side to the house kit's pedal. And every time they hear the difference, the eyebrows go up with surprise and delight.
Music background: Been playing 43 years and counting

Great at what it does

I used the Puff Daddy on a recent jazz combo gig, and it was perfect. It was a small room where volume was a concern, and much of the evening required "feathering" the bass drum while comping. When the occasional accent was needed, the Puff Daddy had plenty of volume on demand. I played it with a Sonor Perfect Balance nylon strap drive pedal, and the feel and touch were perfect.
Music background: Drumming since 1976

Low Boy Puff Daddy

Great for jazz. Feathering the bass drum was never so easy. Gives the bass drum a rich, warm, full tone that is quiet and jazzy.

Great Beater!

This bass drum beater delivers the perfect, soft, boomy bass drum hits. Soft, feathery hits sound perfect but harder hits have definition and punch due to the weight and the small amount of wood that impact the head. Another nice treat is that two will fit on a double pedal (two traditional "fluff ball" beaters will not fit).
Strongly recommended for jazz players or anyone that sometimes needs a boom more than a click.
