You get the best of both worlds with the DW SM101 double-sided kick drum beater. One side offers traditional felt for all-purpose use in any style of music. But when you flip the beater around, the SM101 gives you a hard plastic surface that provides extra "kick" and definition to the attack. The DW SM101 features a 6-1/8" shaft, which makes it ideal for positioning on your kick drum. An included beater weight lets you customize the amount of mass, giving you control over the feel of your pedal. The kick drum is the foundation of your music! Give it the respect it deserves with the DW SM101 double-sided beater.
