Title: Bass pedal beaters Post by: search64 on May 30, 2002, 11:01 AM I have an IC but I think the beaters are too heavy, what should I do? My teacher has a pearl quadbeater which he customised by taken the felts off, and cutting one side of, making it a very light beater. Or, should I get other beaters like the Slug Percussion beaters?
Title: Re:Bass pedal beaters Post by: rlhubley on May 30, 2002, 11:14 AM You have an Iron Cobra and the beaters are too heavy?? Really??? Those are some of the lighter beaters I've seen!! Iron Cobra's come with the small flat round beater right? They should have an adjustable weight on the beater shaft, you can move that further down the shaft, or take it off.
If you want a really light beater, Slug has a titanium shaft beater, i'm sure it is rather light.

The dag-on thing ended up having stress cracks on it and I ended up getting a Maple beater instead. I think the other beater's name was a dw type.
