By Mike Tarrani HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on August 5, 2015
I purchased this on a whim locally and thought it was going to be relegated to my barely used collection of beaters. I play mainly jazz and my go to beater is a big, fluffy Vater VBVB Vintage Bomber Bass Drum Beater. Much to my surprise, this one is easy to control and play through a full dynamic range.

Considering that the Bomber is fairly one dimensional, this is actually a versatile alternative because you can choose the oval leading edge for a lot of projection, or turn the beater head ninety degrees to the flat side for tone. Either way, though, you can play as lightly or as heavily as you want. I will say that for maximum projection you will definitely need to mic your bass drum because while the beater is solid wood, it's also fairly light. For me that is not an issue since I play mainly lighter, quieter type gigs. For rock drummers this may or may not be an issue that you need to take into account.

Since I play heel down and off the head, and depend on rebound this beater is ideal. Because it's so light I imagine it would literally fly for heel up players who demand speed. Honestly, I have not tested it for that.

It's sufficiently long at 7 7/8 inches to reach my strike zone on my 18", 20" and 24" bass drums. I usually adjust beaters to strike just above or below center, but the length will work to hit dead center with most pedals if you prefer that type of zone.

I own all of the Vater beater models and among them this one is probably the most versatile. It will work for rock, blues, Country/Roots and just about any other style. And it will definitely work for jazz.

Always use wood beaters these days, and thought this would be worth a try. I wasn't disappointed. Made of maple instead of hickory, it's a bit lighter than most wood beaters, but still packs plenty of punch. This is the best wood beater I've ever played.

Wow... I just picked up a set of these from a local music store and they're fantastic beaters. They really bring out the bottom end of your bass drum, giving it more body. Next thing is they're perfectly weighted, not too heavy and not too light. There's tons of rebound from these beaters and I feel like my pedals are more accurate now. I highly recomend trying these out, they don't disappoint.

I'm looking forward to using this item. Just received the package and he package has "Beaters" plural and the ad had no reference to it being one. The picture is in reference to the shape. For 20 bucks too would have been a wonderful deal. Just a heads up.
