AHEAD Speed Kick Wire Brush Beater

The Ultimate in Low-Volume Articulation

The Ahead Wire Brush Beater is designed for the finest dynamic control possible on a kick drum. Featuring a dense fan of premium metal wires, this beater swaps out the solid "thud" of a traditional head for a crisp, metallic "hiss" and a light, airy resonance.

Perfect for jazz combos, pit orchestras, or intimate acoustic sessions, the Wire Brush Beater allows you to "feather" the bass drum with incredible sensitivity. Because it uses the Speed Kick interchangeable system, you can switch from a heavy rock felt to this delicate wire brush in roughly two seconds—giving you unmatched versatility mid-set.

The Sonic Advantages:

• Premium Wire Bristles: Delivers a classic "sandpaper" snap and a shimmering wash that a solid beater simply can't reproduce.

• Maximum Sensitivity: The perfect choice for "feathering" the kick drum—providing a pulse that is felt more than it is heard.

• Ultra-Low Volume: The quietest beater in the Ahead lineup, making it the gold standard for café gigs and "unplugged" performances.

• Speed-Balanced Design: Mounted on the aerodynamic Speed Kick shaft, ensuring your pedal stays responsive and light underfoot.

• Interchangeable Head: Quickly snaps onto the Ahead AHSK Adapter Shaft—no tools, no hassle, just instant tonal shifts.

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