theres not really a difference ...the ones that go all the way around tend to have only one option while beaters with two or more sides have more contact surfaces like flat or curved beater heads so just depends on how you want to play your bass.

I feel like if you have a double sided beater your options as to how you want to play is more- for example i have a soft side and a plastic side- i get a different sound out of them and change them for hw i want to play
if i want to feather the pedal or want a full sound ill us the soft side
if i want a crisper sharper sound ill use my plast (harder) side
lucid you would happen to know how drummers like chris addller get that wooden clicking noise as a bass drum tone or is it just the speed they play at?

i`ve got double sided ones but i never really turn them round from the felt side ....and to be honest i can`t really hear any differnce .
wooden clicking noise? sounds like a wood block to me...ill look him up online tonight and try to hear what your talking about but it sounds to me like a woodblock (using a pedal (usually with a lastic side) that hits against a drum peice (like a woodblock))Originally Posted by Chiko
or possibly you may be talking about feathering the drum pedal...not sure
like i said tho ill look into it and ill im u or something..
Got AIM?
I used to get that from a Danmar red ball wooden beater. I would use it with an impact pad that had very little cloth on it. It would make a clicking sound. But it ended up being too much click.Originally Posted by Chiko
I have seen a few clamp/stands that you can attach a pedal and a block/cowbell/whatever to. They usually run about $25. 3 pedals is enough for me. 1 more and I'd be lost...
As for beaters, Pearl makes a quad beat that has 4 sides. 2 felt sides and 2 hard sides that give you 4 different sounds. I got them with my new pedal set and they are great!

#1 the trick is to keep a primary pedal in the middle (in my case prolly the high hat depending on what genre of music im playing) then its easier to follow through with everything else...dont change the placement all the time..just learn how to do it..it becomes second natureOriginally Posted by 1DrumBum
#2...sounds great...im gunna get some for my pedals
i have one soft felt side and a hard plastic side on my beater and the plastic side just sounds a little harsher
"Bow Down To The Almighty Bunghole!"
yea..
i usually use the soft side..but there are times when i feel i need a crisper sound
