VicKick Beaters

[itchie]

so i just tried out this new vickick beat

at first when i saw the slogan "for unbeatable sound" ...i thought ..."big claim"

but i gave it a shot anyway

omg i was surprised how good this beater is ....it was instantly fatter compared to the trusty double sided DW beater iv been using for the last 10 or so years.

this thing is bang for buck brilliance

[MDK]

is it just a wood beater?

Thanks for sharing this.

One of my favorite beaters I've ever used was one of those acrylic balls.

I'd thought about picking one up if I can find one for next to nothing.

I've always wanted to try wood beaters.

[itchie]

its got a flat spot where the beater hits the head

[Markadiddle]

Never used a wood beater. Out of curiosity, what kind of sound do they have? Clicky? Slappy? Other?

[itchie]

wide fatt sound...hard to describe its unlike other wooden beaters

I found a YT clip of this new line. Demo of the wood beater at about the 5:00 minute mark.

I like the felt one like the bass of it in my headphones

So, were you using the plastic or felt side of the DW beater before switching to this?

I just picked up a Puresound Speed Ball with a plastic beater. Seems incredibly responsive while retaining full tone.


I really hope I like it as much as you seem to like this one.

those vickicks look cool! might have to be my next beaters. i'm still using the pearl double sided ones that came on my pedals (single chain entry level double pedals)

both depending on the drum and the room
mostly the felt side

Bummer. Now that you have piqued my interest....

[itchie]

one day i will take my computer back to my studio and do a recording just for you ok?

[slinky]

those look pretty nice. I switched out the stock ones on my IC with Yamaha wood beaters. Do they say what kind of wood they are? I like a little weight in beaters and seem to get that with the Yammy ones and volume.

[itchie]

im pritty sure it's the same as the hickory sticks

[NPYYZ]

I started using these Sonor beaters a while back. I use the plastic side. They are light and quick , yet powerful. Those wooden Vic beaters sounded great.

The video posted earlier states that the wood beaters are fashioned from hard maple.

part of the reason why it might sound so good on my maple kit
