Description
Two Faces. Infinite Groove.
The Ahead Rubber/Square Felt Beater is the chameleon of the bass drum world. Featuring a unique, reversible square-head design, it gives you two completely different sonic identities in one lightweight package. On one side, you have a high-density square felt for a broad, traditional punch; on the other, a hard rubber face that delivers a dense, modern "thump" with immediate rebound.
Because of the square profile, you get a larger surface area of contact with the drumhead compared to rounded beaters. This results in a "fatter" sound that fills the room without requiring you to bury your foot into the floorboards. Like all beaters in the Speed Kick series, it’s mounted on a balanced, aerodynamic shaft to ensure your speed never suffers for your tone.
The Engineering Edge:
-
Square Felt Side: Maximizes head contact for a deep, warm, and massive low-end—ideal for rock and pop.
-
Hard Rubber Side: Provides a snappier, more compressed "click" that’s perfect for fusion, metal, or electronic hybrid setups.
-
Speed-Balanced Shaft: CNC-machined stainless steel reduces drag, allowing for lightning-fast doubles and effortless footwork.
-
Anti-Slip Locking: The head stays exactly where you set it, ensuring your tone doesn't shift during a heavy breakdown.
-
Universal Fit: Slides into any standard bass drum pedal housing in seconds.
- Stainless steel adapter shaft (SK-SHAFT) REQUIRED but NOT INCLUDED
