For bass drums, cajons, and e-drum kick pads, the Silent Beater cuts volume from the low end, making it a perfect pairing with Silent Sticks. 6.1mm Ø shaft fits all standard pedals. With a rigid fiber shaft. Teflon surface only with Adoro Silent Beater: Adoro's beater comes with a thin and a thick additional pad not only for dampening, but also to reduce friction on the head - regular beaters usually destroy mesh heads easily. The pads have a teflon coating to minimize the friction. This gives you three options when playing the kick - without pad, with the thin teflon pad, or with a thick teflon pad. This beater is a three-in-one!
