"Perfect for new school techniques"

Feature:
I'd like to see an option to adjust the angle of the beater head. If not for that, it'd be a 10.

Quality:
It's DW.

Value:
You pay more for DW. Mostly, it's worth it.

Sound:
I use this on my 9000 single pedal. I play 18" and 22" kick drums. Especially on the small drum, a traditional beat is always too heavy or too light. This one has the perfect balance. When adjusted properly, this beater is the best of all worlds for me. Soft hits get are solid, with less attack and beefy low end. Hard attacks slam and have the added stability of the foam around the core. Also, I find the

Ease of Use:
I'd prefer the foam adjustment was a drum key, not a tiny wrench (not included btw! What is up DW??) And, yes it's obvious how to adjust...sort of. But couldn't they put pictures on the package for dummies? They're selling to drummers after all!

"Not the best DW product at all......"

Feature:
used it a couple times and had to keep adjusting them. the foam keeps wanting to move back..... the Allen's don't do very good at holding it in place. i had to use 2 weights per beater: 1 set up high and one a little lower to get the feel on the pedals...... (they are extremely light!!!)

Quality:
It's a DW product that doesn't feel like a DW product.

Value:
a little pricey

Desirability:
looks great...... but, looks aren't what you hear?!

Sound:
sound was alright. varies depending on setting.

Ease of Use:
read features

Support:
Almost everything is DW on my kit... they rule. bad product

Overall:
try it out. don't listen to me. definitely for a person with a light foot!!

About This Product!
Description
News
The industry standard DW 101 2-sided bass drum beater now has some competition: the HardCore pedal beater. The construction is a hard plastic core embedded in soft rubber foam. The unique design allows finite adjustability in the relationship between the two materials. When playing soft, the beater acts much like a pure felt beater, but when struck hard, the beater has all the attack of a hard plastic or wood beater ball. The beater is built to last. The back plate is solid aluminum with a positive connection to the hard core. The velocity-sensitive action can be adjusted to every player's needs. For the first time ever, the HardCore allows a wide range of bass drum sounds, which is especially valuable for drummers playing gigs that feature a wide range of musical styles.
