Description
The Vic Firth VICKICK Beater pairs a medium-density felt core with a soft fleece covering, giving your bass drum a rounder, warmer voice than a standard felt beater. The oval head shape spreads impact across the drumhead differently than a round beater, softening transients while keeping the low end present.
- Construction: Medium felt core wrapped in fleece
- Head shape: Oval
- Length: 8.125 in
- Head size: 3.000 in
- Secondary head size: 2.750 in
This tonal quality makes it a favorite among jazz drummers and anyone chasing a smoother, less percussive kick sound – great for brushes-and-ride sessions, low-volume acoustic sets, or studio work where a clicky attack isn’t the goal. It threads onto standard bass drum pedals like any other beater, so swapping it in takes seconds.
Whether you’re rounding out your pedal setup or picking up a spare for a specific gig, this beater is a simple way to shift your kick tone toward something fuller and more vintage-leaning.
