The Ahead Speed Kick Felt Beater is engineered for the player who needs their kick drum to be felt as much as it is heard. Featuring a high-density, hard-felt head, this beater delivers a classic, warm "thump" with a defined attack that cuts through the loudest stage volume.
The real magic is in the Speed Kick design. By optimizing the weight distribution along the shaft, Ahead has created a beater that feels lighter under the foot while maintaining a massive forward momentum. Whether you’re executing lightning-fast double-bass patterns or deep, pocketed grooves, this beater responds to your foot’s every command with zero lag.
Hard-Felt Surface: Provides a rich, punchy tone that’s more musical than plastic but more articulate than soft fleece.
Aerodynamic Balance: Designed to reduce wind resistance, allowing for faster strokes and less muscle strain over long sets.
Universal Compatibility: Fits perfectly into all major bass drum pedal brands, from DW to Tama to Pearl.
Adjustable Height: The stainless steel shaft allows you to find the "sweet spot" on any bass drum size, from 18" jazz kicks to 24" cannons.
Pro-Grade Durability: Built to withstand the heaviest hitters without flattening out or losing its shape.
