Punchy. Warm. Slappy. These are just a few of the adjectives we use when describing a bass drum beater’s tone. Words can help, wouldn’t you rather listen to professionally recorded tracks featuring talented drummers using our bass drum beaters in various musical genres? It’s the next best thing to trying out a beater on your own kit. We hope this page will help you decide which Low Boy beater is right for you.
