DW Factory Accessory Bass Drum Beaters

Say hello to our collection of high quality bass drum beaters. Whether you are looking for a replacement, an upgrade, or you are simply on a quest for a new sound or a different response, we have a nice selection to choose from.

Response

Often overlooked, a critical component of pedal feel is beater weight. A lighter beater offers a quick, fast response, but sacrifices power. A heavier beater requires more force, but offers more punch and power. For most players the standard DWSM101 is a happy medium, weighing in at 105 grams. If used, the adjustable shaft weight (15 grams) will give it a little more power and throw. There is no right or wrong, only what feels right for you. We offer a range of varied weights and styles of beaters, including a completely adjustable Control Beater (DWSM110 and DWSM110XL) which features (4) removable weights.

Variation

Add tonal colors to your toolbag with a variety of different surfaces. Traditional felt beater heads offer a warm, round sound, while harder plastic or wood beater heads can give a brighter, more articulate ‘click’ upon impact. The shape and surface of the beater head also help to define the kick drum sound. Sonic differences can range from subtle to extreme from beater to beater. Generally speaking, a larger, softer beater head provides a warmer, darker, fuller sound while a smaller, harder beater head provides a brighter, more articulate sound with more attack. The DWSM101 is a two-sided beater (felt and high-impact plastic) allowing what many players consider the best of both worlds.
