Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Designed and manufactured in California (USA), the Boom Kick Beater fits within the Switch Kick approach: offering an interchangeable beater designed for drummers who want to instantly adapt the feel and response of the bass drum, both in the studio and on stage.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This beater is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers looking for a simple solution to modify the bass drum attack according to style (rock, indie, blues, funk, vintage, pop) and the dynamics of the piece.
Features and Innovations
The head rotates 360 degrees : a quarter turn (90 degrees ) locks, unlocks, and removes the beater. The quick interchangeability and 9-height adjustment make setup changes easy without interrupting your flow.
Sound
Its core is made of high-density felt, covered with black fur, delivering a rounder attack and a "vintage" grain, with a warm presence and less click-ideal for a musical and deep bass drum sound.
