Great Beater!

These beaters are GREAT! They are very lightweight and I thought they weren't going to have alot of power, but these things pack a huge punch! They're powerful,speedy,and smooth! Joey Jordison uses the wood ones along with two Iron Cobra Power Glide pedals in the slipknot DVD Disasterpieces! He gets that hard clicky sound with those wood beaters. The only reason I didn't give it a 5.0 for overall, is because my personal favorites are the Pearl Quad Beaters and Eliminator Pedals. But Next to that is the Tama Iron Cobra Power Glide Pedals and Iron Cobra wood beaters

wood beaters are poor quality

I've had a better experience with the felt beater, but this review is for the wood beater. I bought them to use with my roland kd-8 kick trigger and within 10 minutes of playing one of the wooden beaters came unglued. This is not something I want to happen when it comes show time. I may even return these and just get a solid wood danmar.

    Purchased my Roland VAD306 electronic drum set for MY Christmas present to ME (smile), was reading somewhere where it was mentioned to use rubber/plastic bass drum mallet as to preserve the MESH head. Welll, my bass drum isn't mesh but,,,, the strike pad is so,,, I'm heading the warning & following suit. What can it hurt? I'm really a bassist but, drums was my first love so now I can beat away, any time of day or night with my headphones on. I do hear a difference with this rubber bass drum mallet. Think I'll grab me another one before it goes up like the gas prices. $15.00 today, $45.00 next week ha ha. It's constructed well and the striker can be positioned tilted up or down to get a perfect hit.

  • Do not buy these. Period.

    I have used many, many beaters in my life. I've been doing this for a long time. These beaters have a fatal flaw: The heads tilt up no matter what you do. Look at the design of the beater head, and you will see how this is not just a trivial issue. As you play, the face of the beater head will rotate up and up and up, until eventually the sharp bottom of the beater head is slamming into your kick drum head. And I don't care how much you tighten the set screw... the metal core of the head isn't knurled at all, which allows for the face assembly to rotate over time. Want to be frustrated? Want to be in the middle of a set and realize that the face of the beater isn't hitting your kick head anymore? Want to potentially dent/puncture your expensive kick drum head system? This product could be for you. In my opinion, these are trash and are designed to fail. Enjoy!

    Broke within the first time, memory lock striped inside and would not tighten.

  • Great feel of balance on the foot pressure

    I use to use the mallet style beater but like this beater instead because it's lighter and faster.
