Vic Firth VicKick Wood Shaft Bass Drum Beater – VKB5
The Vic Firth VicKick VKB5 brings a distinctive twist to the VicKick lineup: a maple wood shaft paired with a felt beater head. The result is a beater that combines the natural flex and feel of a wooden shaft with the warm, rounded attack of felt — giving you a uniquely responsive playing experience that’s hard to find elsewhere.
The maple shaft transmits energy efficiently from pedal to head, delivering a snappy, direct feel underfoot while the felt head keeps your kick tone warm and full. It’s a beater that rewards drummers who are particular about touch and response, not just sound.
