How to choose
Pick a beater based on the kick sound you want and whether you need to switch sounds mid set.
Beginner
A beginner can start with the Two Way Switch Kick Starter System, which introduces the concept of interchangeable beaters in one kit. Practice attaching and detaching beaters until it becomes quick and reliable.
Intermediate
An intermediate drummer can add the Switch Kick Sonic Duel for a punchier attack on certain songs, switching between beaters during rehearsal to compare tone. Keep the mounting hardware tight to avoid rattling.
Expert
An experienced player can use the Switch Kick Vintage Boom for a rounder, vintage kick sound and switch quickly between beaters live. Check the beater heads for wear regularly since frequent switching adds stress to the mechanism.
