I’ve tested a lot of bass drum beaters over the years, and I've found they can make a surprising difference to both the sound and feel of your kick drum playing.

There are loads of options out there, each with different materials, weights, and design features which all help to shape your kick tone and playing response.

In this video, I’ve picked out nine of the most popular beaters and put them through their paces so you can hear how they compare. They all feel a little different, and I’ve done my best to explain those differences throughout the reviews!

I’m demoing these kick drum beaters using my Tama Speed Cobra pedal, and I'm playing a 22"x16" Tama Star Walnut bass drum. It’s fitted with a Remo Powerstroke 3 batter head, and I’ve got a single pillow inside for a bit of muffling to keep the sound punchy.
