Dragonfly Percussion KDL Hard Leather Kick Drum Beater

Dragonfly Percussion KDL Hard Leather Kick Drum Beater

This is Dragonfly Percussions' hardest beater. It is constructed of 5 discs of thick, firm leather tightly stacked together on a brass post.  This beater is articulate and punchy, but with a warmth and depth to the sound not found in conventional hard felt beaters.  Great general purpose beater. 

Dragonfly Percussion has been designing and manufacturing mallets used in the world’s top orchestras for 20 years.  Now they’ve brought that attention to timbre and their innovative designs to the drum set world with a new line of kick drum beaters.  Adapted from a Viennese-style of timpani mallets, these new beaters are constructed of tightly stacked discs of flannel, canvas and leather.  The full-bodied, warm sound and responsive feel is unlike anything else you’ve tried.
