Your cart is empty.Swappable Weights and Heads Supply a Custom Response Control freak? With DW, you're in good company. The DWSM110 Control Bass Drum Beater gives you endless ways to customize your power, speed, tone, and timing. This precision beater was developed in coordination with DW's top-of-the-line MDD (Machined Direct Drive) kick pedals to give each player exactly what they're looking for underfoot. The DWSM110's self-aligning head ensures your beater lands flat against the head with every strike. That right there is worth the cost of admission alone. But factor in three swappable playing surfaces — flat felt, rounded felt, and hard plastic — to achieve varying degrees of warmth and articulation and four removable brass weights to dial in the heft and velocity of every blow, and the DWSM110 Control Bass Drum Beater is equipped to give every pedal in your arsenal the exact response you're looking for.

It reduced the acoustic beater noise substantially on a Roland KD10. The foam is dense and sturdy, the beater is well built. The red anodized backing plate is a really nice touch and adds just enough weight.

The brass weights really change the overall feel of the pedals (play around with different combos and find what you like). So far the screw on beater pads have been great, they stay locked in. I also love they come with felt and plastic heads. I did have a little trouble keeping the beater head angle locked in at first. This was due to under tightening the set screw out of fear I was going too far. You just have to really tighten them down if you find they move. I would give them five stars, but I’ve only been using them for about two months.

I've been playing a Mapex Falcon double pedal for several years and while I love the pedal, I haven't been thrilled that the beaters are non-adjustable (in angle) and the felt is permanent attached so not replaceable. I find the felt wears quickly so I'd be replacing beaters sooner than I'd like (and the falcon beaters seem to be on perpetual backorder).I tried these DWs after reading some reviews and I love them. Adjustable head so you can easily obtain a perfectly flat to the head strike, felt seems durable, and the felt pad itself twists off so once worn you can simply replace the pad and not the entire beater. These also have weights (can use 0-4 weights) which is a feature I wanted to retain from my falcon beaters.I am admittingly picky with my drum hardware (and hard on it) and I give a big thumbs up to these.

I bought low boy beaters and then cut the backs off to make them the low boy light and then drilled out holes in them to make them lighter but they always felt clumsy. These control beaters from DW are freaking AWESOME. I can add or remove weight. I actually use them blank (no brass weights) with iron cobra 600 dbl pedals. I’m using the factory zero on the beaters and shortened the beater height to where I have two and a half finger widths of beater rod under the beater holder. They move fast, easy, and still give a good hit to the bass head (even though I play an E kit). I do not feel I have to really drive them with leg weight or by pushing down hard to get them to strike. I keep them light for quick doubles and they do the job very nice. I’ll probably use the low boys as kindling. For me there is just no comparison. I wanted light beaters for my old and tired body and for snappy doubles and got my moneys worth. Highly recommend. Also, I use the plastic face for my e bass (with a hand towel folded in have length wise covering the head to keep the slap of the plastic down). Not going back to what I had and no longer considering the Trick pro v 1 beaters. These control beaters from DW are what I needed to make my hobby drumming soooooo much better and fun for once.

Without a doubt the best beaters I've used in 20+ years of drumming! Are they more expensive than most? Sure, but you're getting what you pay for here and these blow the competition completely out of the water in quality, adjustability and feel. Don't think, just do it.

Kind of pricey, but worth it IMO. The ability to quickly change the amount of weight in the head of the beater along with the surface type is very handy.For me it seems like 2 of the weights is the sweet spot.Using them with the pdp concept series double pedal(chain drive), and though I don’t like the pedals themselves, I love these beaters.

I am using this on my Roland KD-10 bass drum. It is replacing a plastic beater that came with my Pearl pedal. The adjustable added weight was exactly what I needed to add some 'bite'.I ended up using 2 weights East and West as opposed to North and South and after trying the plastic beater, (3 types are included), I found I preferred the flat felt one.You *have* to use a bass drum pad/patch if you use a felt beater on a mesh head or you'll soon rip the head. I bought a Remo patch and it sticks and protects well on the KD-10.This really does improve my drumming and I'm really glad I bought this.

This is a great beater option to have in your arsenal and/or use as your main beater. Offering 3 contact surfaces, and 4 separate weights, you can switch them all with the snap of a finger. And, all 3 contact surfaces are quality and different from one another; and the weights give you a wide variety of great weight options, from using zero weights to all four at time. So, if playing a variety of genres in the same gig/session, then it can be a very useful and versatile tool. I think any drummer will enjoy using at least one of the quality beater surfaces, if not all three. And being able to pick the perfect weight is also very nice. Only downfall is the slight noise made from the pivoting beater head. You can get it to quiet down by tightening it, but then you lose the “pivot” feature. Not a big deal for me since I just tightened it to the position I wanted for contact; but, if you’re looking at the pivoting head as a key feature, know that it will come with a click-like noise that may or may not be annoying to you.

If it's durable, it's the best beater I've tried. Not stated in description or reviews, is that you can lock the head into place with the included allen wrench if you are not a fan of the self-adjusting beater design. I have tried it locked/unlocked and it honestly feels great both ways. Not sure if the locked adjustment will hold under a repeated heavy foot without loosening but it feels so good unlocked, it shouldn't matter. Balancing a beater against the weight of a pedal board is often an overlooked feature of pedal performance. Not only do you have adjustable weights and faces to choose from but DW also include a nylon sliding counter weight on the shaft. Much better than those 5, 10g, etc. steel weights if you ask me. Moving even slightly up or down the shaft greatly affects the pedal feel. Beater is 64g without weights installed making it lighter than the Sonor beater and the same weight as the Trick Pro 1-V but it has better reach than the Trick and the back-housing of the beater box provides more oomph than the Trick. Shaft itself is shorter than the other two beaters as well. Well thought out design that really allows for me to easily switch between techniques without having to make pedal itself adjustments. Again, if it's durable, it's my new favorite beater.
