The KDB-BP Bass Drum Beater is built with a smaller wooden core covered with wool, a multi-ply yarn wrap and a 0.25-inch steel shaft. The complex core provides a lighter, more balanced beater made to perform in a multitude of styles. These characteristics make a non-destructive beater comparable in weight and size to most traditional beaters. The KDB-BP beater is ideal for players looking for a durable beater with great low end as well as an articulate attack when needed.
