Free delivery and returns on eligible orders. Review: Secret weapon. - A great beater for jazz and acoustic settings but I use this as my main beater for everything now. It is great for 'feathering' the bass drum which is needed for jazz and when you want a pulse to be 'felt' rather than heard over the music and it helps to lock in with the bass. As a reviewer on desertcart.com said it will also mean you can change your bass drum tuning. Many people don't realise that John Bonham had his bass drum tuned high. You can tune high but still get a warm sound with this beater and you don't need much muffling so can let the heads resonate more or definitely experiment with a more open sound. This is a secret weapon for jazz. I was concerned that rebound would be affected but it actually seems easier to play 'out' of the head without burying the beater and the core is hard enough to mean you can still get a good thud. Recommended. Review: This really is the bomb - What an amazing sound this beater delivers from your kick drum. I'm playing a 18x16 (16x18 if your American) Gretsch maple kit the sound is everything from almost inaudible to mind blowing loud. When I say loud I mean this in a way that it fills the room and makes it shake in simpethetic reverberation due to the sub goodness. I have now completely converted to this beater from the standard one on my DW 9000 and it's amazing how quick this plays. ## Features - The Vater VBVB Vintage Bomber bass drum pedal is a modern take on the old school beaters - The beater replicates the soft but boomy bass drum tones of the classic jazz era - Features a cork centre wrapped in a soft, puffy synthetic covering - Stainless steel shaft - "Vater's synthetic wool sheath has a stiffer pile than some of the other softies, but its lightweight cork core keeps things cushy." - DRUM!

As expected, it's makes a warm, quiet and rounded tone which was perfect for the non-amplified gig. I used it with a fairly empty 20" Gretsch Maple. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/50288031-drumsticks-vbvb-bass-drum-beater-vintage-bomber](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/50288031-drumsticks-vbvb-bass-drum-beater-vintage-bomber) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
