Bass drum beaters that is. in the overall scheme of things does a felt beater really sound all that different than a plastic beater? Speaking of both live playing and in the studio. I could even include this to the feel of the beater on the drum. Is it even really that big of a difference in feel?
I played primarily with felt beaters years ago. But for the last probably 10 to 15 years I've played primarily with plastic beaters. I've just been thinking about changing it up and going back to felt beaters.
Beng that I play in a metal band and I don't trigger or plan to trigger I just want to make sure that the felt beaters would cut through if thats what I want to do. I like definition in my bass drum sound. But I by no means go for the typical metal bass drum sound.
