PDP By DW

Great beater that has held up to regular abuse and for both my DW and Pearl pedals

Does the job and sounds great! No complaints and good for the price. Wondering how long the felt will last though.

I picked up a used lower end PDP kick pedal to use with a practice kit. I discovered that it’s stock beater was AWESOME. I have always loved Tama’s rubber Iron Cobra beaters, but all 4 of them that i have owned (and my current PG900) have failed after the self adjusting head stopa staying in place. I like a heavier, thumpy kick sound, particularly the sound provided by rubber but even DW didn’t seem to have great options in this department and their “control” series has that same “self adjusting” head feature that companies should really just abandon since they fail so often. This is way cheaper than other hard material beater I can find other than wood, and instead of a self adjusting head it has a slightly angled rubber strike zone. Very cool. You still get the plastic on the backside if that’s you’re cup of tea.

Love it

This offered a much better feel and sound for me playing rock music over my stock marshmallow beater. Worth the upgrade for just a few bucks.

I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of this beater, excellent replacement for an electronic drum kick pedal

This is my second time buying those beaters! First one i bought for my pdp double pedal where i exchange original plastic beaters that came with pedal. I'm using them now for couple years and couldn't be hapier! As well I have a DW 3000 double pedal and the oryginal beaters are plastic/felt ones. I used them for couple years but i noticed that they are heavier than felt beaters that im using on my pdp pedal.. so i decided to buy those for my DW. They are perfect fit and the memory locks fits just perfect. If you looking for light felt drum beater and want to save couple of $ go with this one! Im very happy how they sound and also the weight! High quality, very good value for the money, very comfort to play, I highly recommend this product!
