Currently I use the little rubber axis beaters on my longboards--although I want to replace them with something much heavier. I'm still trying to decide between felt and wood--although I'll probably just go with whichever provides the best attack. I'm stuck between choosing the DW Drum Workshop SM102 Large Felt (or wood) Bass Drum Beaters, Danmar Bass Drum Beater 206 White Felt (or wood) beaters, and the iron cobra beaters in either felt, or wood.
The most disappointing thing is that the weight of each beater isn't listed, and I really just want the heaviest, most powerful beater I can possibly get--even to the point of being ridiculously large. I hit very hard when the music calls for it, and would have no issues with speed or control with a huge beater. My spring tension is maxed, and I have the beaters angled far back for maximum power. Among other things I'm looking into is getting heftier springs, and as with the beaters, I want the absolute most monstrous things I can get my hands on.
