Vic Firth VicKick Fleece Kick Bass Drum Beater – VKB3
If you’re chasing that warm, booming vintage kick tone, the Vic Firth VicKick VKB3 is your beater. Crafted with an oval felt core wrapped in fleece, it produces an incredibly full, round bass sound that sits deep in the mix — perfect for jazz, acoustic sessions, and any style where subtlety and warmth trump attack.
Unlike the dual-position VKB1 and VKB2, the VKB3 sets up in a single position, letting the fleece covering do all the talking. The result is a softer, more enveloping impact that coaxes the very best low-end tone from your bass drum head.
“VicKick Beaters® have been designed with sound quality as the number one priority. That’s what makes these beaters so unique!” — Neil Larrivee, Director of Education and Product Development, Vic Firth Co.
