Hello everyone. I have a few questions about beater weights:
A) Do you prefer to use/add weights on your beaters?
B) Do you prefer lighter or heavier beaters overall?
I'm guessing that using a really heavy beater might be strenuous, but I've read that a beater which is heavier by the beater-side has better rebound action.
I ask because it usually takes me a long time to tweak my setup and run tests and experiments to see what suits me. Any insight into this would be appreciated.
Here are the sets of beaters I currently own:
- Tama Iron Cobra beaters model CB90F = 87.90 grams
- Pearl Quad beaters model B200QB = 88.70 grams
- Danmar Classic Felt beaters model 206 = unable to weigh accurately
Here are the sets of of beater weights I own:
- Iron Cobra beater weights = roughly 13 grams
- Pearl Eliminator beater weights = roughly 5.30 grams
I'm thinking about using the pearl eliminator beaters with the iron cobra weights attached. I was also thinking about using both sets of beater weights at the same time.
What do you think? Any input is appreciated.
