I like the softer ones better, mostly because I listen to jazz, or the Beatles, and some new artists like silk sonic or scary pockets for that R&B/Soul sound. I always found harder materials to be too clicky.
@@didinindo9431 just proves how useless it is then. 9 out of 10 people who listen to music aren't musicians. So there's literally no point changing this part if people who will listen to the music wont even notice the difference.
@@didinindo9431 I am, and still theres an extremely small difference. That either means that my phone speakers are shite, or that you shouldnt worry about it that much
Yea that bass drum head is good, so is the power stroke 3 and evans emad 2 and heavyweight , also the Remo pinstripe and my favorite da Remo controlled sound
Yea, the difference is subtle. It could make a big difference in the mix of a full song . I actually do have a wood one as well but I find I don't use it often. I should have included it in this!
I like the fleece wool beaters. When you muffle the bass drum, and use a coated head or black dot, you can get that really nice warm/dead 70s sound. A great example is on “Sara Smile” by Hall & Oates with the late Jim Gordon on drums.
It was the only single ply bass reso head i had available at the time, but you'll be happy to know i put a blank reso head on the front now, so all is right with the world again.
Hard felt, Soft felt, Pointed wool, and Smurf are the best. This combined with the mic placement thing is a wicked combo. Maybe plastic or rubber for doubles on a "metal" track.
I've always preferred stiff beaters. Plastic or plastic with a firm felt end or wooded. Gives great attack sound for drummers that play genres like metal or hard rock.
I like the vintage sound so, if i would choose one, it would be the vintage wool, because i think that, that softer the better. But if you like modern sound, then a hard felt would be the best choice.
There's a definate difference until the last three. You can hear the note get lower and lower until the last three. I want the feather one just for fun.
Bro, this is some really good quality content. Really good stuff. I learned to play the drums almost 20 years ago, and back then we didn't have an encyclopedia of sounds at the tip of our fingers. It could take a long time to even realize some things which are shown here in this short video.
Seeing a few comments saying you can't hear a difference... you can. Ive been a drummer for 17 years and i can tell the difference easily. Plastic and hard are very similar but after it's very distinguishable. The softer they get the more it looses that hard slap. Becomes more of a thud
I use trick beaters but i went to the fabric store and got spray adhesive and different fabrics to put on them, best of both worlds, you can get that cool vintage sound with a nice more modern feel

😆😅😂😃
I live the softish rubber ones, they have a really tight sound when you're playing double bass runs.
Yea, I like those ones too. I've bene using them a lot lately!
I use wooden mostly for double bass
I’m a sucker for those classic felt ones. They just feel, look and sound the best to me.
amazing how all of them sounded like my phone speaker
Yeah
Lol same
I definitely noticed a change when I switched my beater to a hard felt. I could feel the drum in my gut 😂
I actually liked the Smurf.
The big wooly beater is my favorite
Ive just always loved the slap you get with plastic
I like the soft felt one.
Those transitions were very smooth
I'm not really sure, after the first few, each bar slowed a bit after each bar was done
Plastic sounded best! Hard a crisp attack that really smacked and was clear. Followed by hard felt
Best depending on what you're trying to do, wouldn't say best in general
Yeah, that would be horrible for most jazz for example
I like the softer ones better, mostly because I listen to jazz, or the Beatles, and some new artists like silk sonic or scary pockets for that R&B/Soul sound. I always found harder materials to be too clicky.
@@you_tubeslonelyheartsclubband yeah clicky bass drums can sound really cheesy in the wrong scenario
@@devinvenne They're great for metal though!
I love how i hear literally no differnce
That’s phone speakers for ya
you need headphones to hear it
Because you are not a musician

The smurf one looks and sounds sweet. 😍
It's pretty awesome! I wasn't expecting it to sound very good but it definitely does it's own thing.
it really let's the high hat stand out while still having that crisp pop 👌
The smurf sound good
Damnit!! I liked them all!!
That kick has such a nice sound
Yea that bass drum head is good, so is the power stroke 3 and evans emad 2 and heavyweight , also the Remo pinstripe and my favorite da Remo controlled sound
Super buddy
I love your snare sound
Thanks!
wow, what a hard felt message.. im crying just listening to this 😄
hard felt for me but all drums are a work of art
The feather duster !
As a guitarist I can say, I heard absolutely no discrepancy in any of those. They all sound adequate
Some are more adequate than others depending on the song.
As a non-musician, this is the first time I knew you could change those things 🤦♀️
you wouldn't because you're too focused on yourself like most string ticklers
A lot of those sound similar, in my opinion. Have you ever tried a wood beater? It's very punchy. I don't have one but my friend does.

I like the first one. It has a nice punch
Not a musician, but I could definitely tell the difference in sustain and impact between them all
The most noticeable change was from a Ludwig to a Gretsch kit just by changing the reso head!
It was the only single ply bass reso head i had available at the time, but you'll be happy to know i put a blank reso head on the front now, so all is right with the world again.
TRIGGERS!!!
Jam/cocktail sets though
THE WAX PAPER ONE IS SOO MUCH AWESOME!!!
I love the sound of the plastic and the vintage one I’ve always used a hard felt but I might have to make a switch
Soft felt and really soft felt the best
I like the first beater
The plastic one was my favorite! It had a nice, crisp snap and pop and was authoritative sounding!
Hard felt, Soft felt, Pointed wool, and Smurf are the best. This combined with the mic placement thing is a wicked combo. Maybe plastic or rubber for doubles on a "metal" track.
I like bass drums
The beat done here helped me think of chords to play, thanks
Different materials create different sounds?!?! Whaaaaat?!??!
I like the blue fuzzy one
The gretsch head on a ludwig is the real way to change the sound.
Yea...I was hoping no one would notice, haha. It's the only coated ambassador reso head I have right now unfortunately :(
I really like the wool it sounds the same🤯
I def prefer the harder felts; just the sharp attack with the softer underlying warm bass together has more emotional depth for me in the tones
bro got the we live we love we lie beater
I've always preferred stiff beaters. Plastic or plastic with a firm felt end or wooded. Gives great attack sound for drummers that play genres like metal or hard rock.
My right hand has never failed me on a good late night
I appreciate you not throwing a Rainbow Smurf smack on us!
The first one so dope 👌
I have a hard felt but with a microphone foam thing over the top of it, sounds a bit like the vintage one
Woah, that's a cool idea!
The Smurf one looks like if thing 1 was smashing his head against the drum lmao

personally, love the plastic or hard felt beaters
Had to listen to it 5 times but I can hear a very very tiny difference.
and all black guys favorite beater, the belt

I overall like the hard felt one the best, but obviously it's gonna depend on the genre and many other things.
New name for the Smurf: Cookie Monster
Hard felt sounds so cool
Vintage wool sounds rich
I love the vintage wool, it's soft but pushes a lot of air through the drum.
i love the Smurf
Me too!
I like the ice cream cone the best! Is beginner level single dip?
Well the first two sounded the best

I need 2 smurfs for my double pedal.. I wouldn't be able to stop laughing to play lmao
“Completely transform” is a bit strong.
Hard felt for those double kick blasts (LOG New American Gospel)
I use trick beaters but i went to the fabric store and got spray adhesive and different fabrics to put on them, best of both worlds, you can get that cool vintage sound with a nice more modern feel
Woah, that's a great idea! I'm sure you can probably control the amount of "softness" you want with that as well.
Wow.. I really like the soft felt of es
Me too. I've started to really enjoy those ones especially for recording
If I made this vid, I would've just
had to slip in a beater from my
old Sunbeam cake mixer.
For gits and shiggles...
The Smurf sounded the best
It has some crazy low end to it!
I want to pet the Smurf one
smurf is my favorite
I think you can mix this beat to the classic Smurfs theme!
Haha. I'll have to give that a try :)
Definitely noticed a huge difference on the unaccented hits!
Anything hard gives it more pop
SMURRRRRFFF YEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW
Probably plastic side dw pillow beaters are my favorite so far.
I was waiting for the Animal muppet version to be the last.
THE SMURFF
" Here's an easy way to completely transform your bass drum sound. By just choosing the wife beater. "
All the other ones besides the smurff are unnoticeable 😅
Listening On my phone. Ah Yes. Much difference
Smurff needs to be used for deathcore music. Make it more fluffy!
I kinda want the smurf one for my double pedal just because it would look hilarious
I’ll take the first one and turn it around
Metal beaters all the way
I use the Hard Felt and love it. Works awesome with my dual kick pedal
I would be curious to hear metal beaters too
Love the dragonfly beater I’ve got 3 of them
i like wood iron cobra beaters. They give a really punchy sound on my kicks
The first one for me
Bro I’m getting the Smurf for my acoustic next set
Tape a quarter to the drum where the pad hits.
I taped a small aluminum pizza tray to the inside of the resonant head and tightened the beater head a little. Sounded fantastic.
Mine broke, so I use a tennis ball
And if you’re not playing ‘Hey Nineteen’ over this you’re losing at life.
I use wood beaters, great attack and punch, definitely more high end. Similar to plastic ones.
This also goes for other drums, and ESPECIALLY cymbals. If you want a sick crash sound, use a rubber or soft mallet
The Smurf is the only way
I wouldn't say it "completely" transforms the bass drum sound
They look cool and make a difference, but why was the snare changing pitch and the beat slowing down??
I use my right hand.
*Giggity*
