Tama Soft Sound Beater- Half Width

wow. talk about silent. it is completely silent. i can't hear it. i have vdrums & i will be going into my settings to see if i can adjust it. it's perfect for home, tho. the only thing they hear now, is the tap tap on the toms. family didn't hear much of the bass anyway. i have a double bass, I might buy another, not sure yet. if i can beef up the bass, i probably will.

I play in church and this is a great alternative to a standard beater. I don't have to worry about overpowering piano/guitar/vocals at all, but it still provides an audible kick. It reduces the sound by probably 60% or so, allowing me to play normally without being so self conscious about my volume. It might be the most important modification I've made to my kit for this purpose. Wonderful accessory.

It's a little light compared to a regular beater, but it works just fine and it mutes enough that I can play in the garage without people in the house (or my neighbors) hearing the bass drum. Highly recommend as a way to quickly mute that can easily be swapped out for gigging.

Bought this beater for my Cajon kick pedal. Gives me a warmer thump sound than a felt beater or even my palm. For increased volume, my Cajon has a piezo pickup with volume and tone control.

As the title states, this doesnt work with an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit. If you turn the sensitivity all the way up on your bass drum and kick hard, you can get it to read, but that defeats the purpose of having this, because it makes a lot of noise just to get the kit to read the beat. Pretty disappointed But I decided to give it 3 stars, because this product would work very well on an acoustic kit or an electronic kit with a higher sensitivity reading. But if you have the nitro mesh kit like me, don't bother.

Was honestly using towels wrapped around my existing beater before buying this. Wanted a beater for lower volume, softer bass. Not a "click" or "boom" but more of a "thump" which is what I was looking for. Sounds great with brushes or hot rods. Very natural feel. I'm a fan! Wish these were a few dollars cheaper though.

This is what you are looking for. I have tried a tennis ball as well as a kickless pedal. The tennis ball was still too loud and the kickless pedal didn’t feel right and was triggering when I didn’t want it to. This is the perfect medium. It’s totally quiet and it triggers perfectly on a Yamaha dtx6kx. I think I played around with a couple of velocity curve options to make sure it was loud enough but not difficult to do at all. I can still kick like I want to without making a noise and it triggers when I want it to. Perfect.

It is really light and makes one adjust to almost stomping the pedal harder to accommodate to actually hearing the kick drum. For practice in apartment or basement it maybe the way to go as long as you don't adjust your playing style with the kick drum. It does definitely reduce the volume of the kick drum when playing normally and not stomping to to accommodate how much it reduces the volume of the kick
