American-made Wood Bass Drum Beater

Low Boy bass beaters have more in common with artisan furniture than they do traditional kick drum beaters. Each of these quick-traveling, heavy-hitting beaters features a beater head of precision-made North American hard maple for incredible performance and surpassing beauty and durability. The Low Boy standard wood beater features an anvil-flat wood striking surface to maximize air movement and reduce unwanted double-strokes. It's tethered to an aerospace-grade stainless steel shaft to deliver years of flex-free dependable kick performance, even under the heaviest feet. Experience a new standard in bass drum beaters — step up to the Low Boy standard wood bass beater, available now at Sweetwater.

The original Low Boy

Nothing plays like a Low Boy. The iconic conical shape and solid-wood construction give you unbeatable punch and output despite a low playing weight. So whether you're a rocker or a bopper, Low Boy bass beaters give you the projection, clarity, and control you're after, all at a size that won't weigh you down.

Select maple construction

Low Boy's North American hard maple beater heads and flat striking surfaces deliver a powerful punch from behind the kit and a hearty, balanced attack out to your listeners. Low Boy's pinpoint striking surfaces reduce mud and low-end buildup, for articulation and definition that really cuts through a mix.

Made in the USA

Unlike other beaters on the market, every Low Boy is built to last a lifetime. From their unbendable aerospace-grade stainless steel shafts to their premium maple beater heads, each of Low Boy's USA-made, Colorado-completed components is guaranteed against defects for life. So if you're looking for a beater that's got legs to go the distance for your next session or tour, Low Boy bass drum beaters are a sound investment.

Great product

Great replacement for my original iron cobra beaters. I played them so much the felt had melted off. These lowboy beaters give me kick that nice ticky pop.

I’ll never use another beater again!

I love the design and feel of the low boy beater. I purchased the felt version of this beater to bring out some more low end on my 20 inch bass drum. This thing truly does bring a fat low end to my sound and feels great playing. Even the standard version is pretty light weight.. you'll dig it!
Rated 5/5

Definitely Improved Pedal Performance

Sometimes customer reviews totally influence my purchase. I happened to read the previous Low Boy beater review submitted by Ripkin Walker (8/24/2022) indicating it improved the performance of his Pearl Demon Drive pedal. This is my favorite pedal, so I wanted to see if Low Boy beater works for me.
It does! The overall feel of the Demon Drive is better with the LB compared to the Pearl felt-core beater. I didn't change the spring tension or make any other adjustment, but the pedal responds better. I like the sound, too; a little more punch with less effort. Gotta hand it to the Low Boy company for designing a great little piece of gear. And thank you Ripkin Walker for telling me about it. I'm sure the LB will work equally well with other pedals.
Music background: Been drumming over 50 years, still playing and gigging

Awesome sound & feel!

I'm using this beater with a Pearl Demon Direct Drive pedal and it feels great! I was using the stock Pearl beater for a good amount of time (harder felt) and felt an immediate improvement in feel and sound once switching to this beater. It makes me feel much more "connected" to the bass drum and I feel like I'm able to really dig in now!
Rated 4/5

Light weight, but hits like it’s heavy.

Overall I really like this beater.
