Ahead ABDS - Pro Kick Dual-Sided Felt/ABS Bass Drum Beater

A versatile beater for shaping your kick drum sound

The AHEAD Pro Kick is a kick drum beater designed for drummers looking for reliability, control and tonal versatility. Its reversible head makes it easy to choose between two complementary textures depending on your playing style, pedal and drumhead.

The premium natural hard felt side delivers a round, warm and traditional attack, ideal for achieving a musical, balanced low end. The black ABS plastic side, meanwhile, provides a sharper, brighter and more powerful attack, particularly effective for bringing out the definition of each hit in rock, metal and modern pop settings.

Thanks to its aluminium insert and stainless steel shaft, this beater offers consistent balance and a uniform playing feel. A robust accessory for optimising your kick drum pedal’s response, both in rehearsal and on stage.
