## Description

Bass drum beater for electronic drum sets.

Review: MY NEW FAVORITE!!! - AWESOME BEATER! While searching for a solution to lower the volume of my drum kit, I came across these silent strike beaters.. While I experimented through trial and error to lower my drum kit volume but not sacrifice tone or playability I discovered a combination of things that may help anyone trying to lower the volume of any acoustical drum kit. So before I explain why I approve of these Kat silent beaters allow me to explain my set up. ALL RACK TOMS: I use Evans Hydraulic heads for my resonant heads ( both resonant & batter when playing at full volume) I USE BOTH (REMO silent stroke Mesh heads & REMO MUFF'LS) at the SAME TIME! for my batter heads... WHY you ask ? I found that the Remo silent stroke heads alone were too quiet (like striking a pillow of air with no tonal response) So try to use silent stroke heads in conjunction with MUFF'LS.. What you will find is a lower volume shell but you retain tone and your shells will sound like drums again, just at a lover volume. you can experiment with the resonant tension and batter tension to achieve the desired pitch. This solved my needs and so I try and share this as much as possible when I can. BASS DRUMS (2) 22" I use EVANS hydraulic batter heads in conjunction with REMO MUFF'LS for the batter heads I use Remo silent stroke heads for the resonant side just to close off the front of the shell.. ( has no functionality just looks ) I use an EVANS bass drum pillow taped (double sided tape) to the inside of the resonant head spanning the entire head and then taped to the inner side of the MUFF'LS plastic ring. NOW for the KAT SILENT STRIKE! These are mini tennis balls in black and are made of a dense solid rubber or foam ( no air inside ) They are firm ( not as firm as felt beaters ) but also soft if you squeeze them hard enough ( not too soft and deform during strike ) I use these on (2) Gibraltar direct drive pedals... They are long enough to reach the center of 22" bass drums. With the set up I explained above I found that these beaters lower the volume but still give a nice thud.. produces a more soft or warm sounding strike. When doing double (HEEL TOE) strikes the beaters respond very well. No need for drum patches as these are soft to the touch and should not effect the heads wear n tear. I really like these beaters and I can't seem to find any CONS to this product.. I will continue to beat the heck out of them and update this post if I find any issues, until then.. I am satisfied and like I said... these are my new favorite beaters.. TRY THEM OUT!!
Review: The closest thing to silent. Great product. - Balls! Tennis balls, that is! (They really do appear just like smaller black tennis balls.) I practice my double kicks on a Gibraltar Bass Drum Practice Pad. With my usual beaters (either the plastic or the felt sides), they sound good, but can get loud and be a little obnoxious (to others, not to me); I understand, and sympathize. Sniffed around online and found these, and ordered 2 from desertcart. They arrived as promised (Thanks, desertcart), fit my Pearl Eliminator Redline double pedal perfectly. The little memory clamps/weights that came on my pedals also fit their shafts well. While no beater would be utterly silent, per se, these diminish the harshness of the attack by a huge amount, making things absolutely bearable for all involved, including those sitting 5 feet away. They have a nice bounce, don't inhibit play at all, and work very well on practice pads, actual drum heads, and mesh electronic bass drum heads. I can't speak to durability, but have seen online where they've torn under repeated hard playing; perhaps they were abused/stomped on, or perhaps they were used with hard rubber electronic bass drum pads, causing them to split at the seams. For my uses (technique/control/speed against a pillowy practice pad--not bash fests), I can see them lasting a good long time. Couldn't be happier with these. (Note: the price is for 1; I ordered 2 for double-bass playing.)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is anyone using this beater on a mesh head? How's the noise level and durability vs a plastic beater?**
A: I use 2 on the Kat Kt4 head which is mylar, similar to mesh. They are GREAT. VERY QUIET and weighted to simulate felt type beaters. Haven't tried them on real drums yet. But I will.

**Q: What is the p65 warning about?**
A: Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. ... Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

**Q: what beater should I use with my remo silent strike bass heads**
A: I think you’ll be fine with a standard bass drum beater with those heads as there designed for silent practice anyway but if you won’t audition soft playing I suppose one of these beaters would be fine!

**Q: How does it sound on a real drum?**
A: love it - round bouncy sound - softer than felt or wood, but lot more punch than a soft beater (wooly)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Definitely quieter but bouncy
*by N***K on May 18, 2024*

I live in an apartment and play electric drums. While I do have a drum riser to prevent vibrations to the floor and annoying the downstairs neighbor, the stock beater hitting the pad is still pretty loud. So I tried this out to help with the noise and I can honestly say it probably has taken it down to half volume than it was before. So if noise is your concern, this absolutely helps. My gripes are: 1. It’s softer than a traditional beater. So it requires more power to get a good kick. That being said, the convenience of having an electric kit means I can turn up the sensitivity which helps with that. 2. It’s basically a tennis ball and tennis balls bounce. If you typically bury the beater, this may not be for you because it’s going to dribble on the pad when you kick it in unless you use a lot of force. Overall I think it’s an excellent tool if being quiet is a must.
