Roland KDB-200 Noise-Reducing Practice Kick Drum Beater

Solid build. Light weight. Fast as lightning.

Works great. They are not as loud as traditional beaters but definitely not silent. I had to roll up my kick sensitivity to get these to trigger properly.

Love the feel of this beater! I use it on a td50. I haven’t played on it more than a month but I don’t see any degradation yet. It’s seems to be the perfect beater for an electronic kit.

When it comes to hitting a kick drum trigger like the KD-7, this is about the only option you have. The one that came with my now 21-year-old kit was pretty beat, crappy pun intended. This knew one makes less ambient noise ( washer on The old one rattled) and looks a lot better/cleaner. Glad I replaced the old rickety beater.… I wish they were other angled beater options, but they’re really aren’t.

Very nice product. A little lighter than other drum mallets but will definitely preserve the e drums.

Use this on my Roland TD-25 VDrums. Great rebound and touch from kick drum without causing damage to the pad. Highly suggest for electronic drums as well as acoustic drums

I bought this because my standard beaters kept putting holes in my mesh head, this beater is soft and responsive. Very happy with this purchase.

Having played acoustic drums for decades, I've become accustomed to playing harder to get greater volume. Having made the change, at least partially, to electronic kits, I find that this formula no longer applies. More volume requires a stronger signal, not a harder strike, and the inclination to kick harder has caused several of the shafts on these beaters to bend - and ultimately break - from metal fatigue. The shafts on these are made of some sort of white metal, and they're not very strong. Once they bend, they can't be straightened without weakening the point where the bend occurs; when the shaft fails, the sharp stub threatens to tear the kick pad. A stronger metal, such as the type used in kick pedals for acoustic drums, would solve the problem. Using the beater from an acoustic pedal is a good short-term solution, but the beaters themselves are too heavy for electronic pads and will eventually destroy them.
