ABSTRACT:
A multi-task beater head having multiple striking surfaces for producing a variety of attack sounds, wherein the beater head may be adjusted or oriented in a convenient manner to achieve the desired attack sound. The drum beater incorporates a shaft that clamps into a receptor of a bass drum pedal, and a striker head that attaches to the other end of the shaft. The improved bass drum beater is molded from a hard plastic-type material or the like, and features a cube-like head with flat top and bottom surfaces and four faces, each with uniquely oriented convex shaped surfaces. The beater can be rotated by loosening the receptor of the bass drum pedal so that any of the plurality of surfaces is in position to strike the drum head. Thus, the percussionist can achieve a plurality of distinctly different bass drum sounds by choosing the appropriate surface.
