AHEAD Speed Kick Bob's Two-Way Foam/Wood Beater

One Beater. Two Personalities. Zero Compromise.

Why settle for one kick sound when you can have two? The Ahead "Bob’s" Two-Way Beater is a masterclass in versatility. Featuring a dual-sided head, it allows you to flip between a high-density felt for a warm, vintage "thump" and a hard plastic face for a clicky, modern "crack" that slices through any mix.

But it’s not just about the surface—it’s about the physics. The "Bob" shape is weighted to provide an effortless throw, giving you maximum volume with minimal leg effort. It’s the ultimate upgrade for the working drummer who needs to adapt their sound on the fly.

The Dual-Threat Advantage:

• Foam Side: Delivers a rich, musical low-end that’s perfect for classic rock, jazz, or studio sessions where warmth is king.

• Wood Side: Provides an aggressive, articulate attack with a sharp "point"—ideal for double-bass speed and high-gain stages.

• Adjustable Weighting: The CNC-machined shaft is balanced to provide a "whiplash" effect, increasing your foot's velocity.

• Non-Slip Orientation: Designed to stay locked in place so you don't accidentally switch sounds mid-song.

• Universal Fit: A standard 1/4" stainless steel shaft ensures it fits perfectly into any bass drum pedal on the market.

• Stainless steel adapter shaft (SK-SHAFT) REQUIRED but NOT INCLUDED
