AHEAD Speed Kick Felt Beater

High Velocity meets High Definition

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.

The Performance Specs:

• 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.
