When to choose it

If your DW pedal fits and you want to hear how a softer face changes your kick, the DWSM101 gives you two surfaces on one assembly. Start with the felt face for the more rounded attack DW describes. Turn the head to its plastic side for a more defined attack. Compare them at the same beater height and on the same head to keep other changes out of the comparison.

The shaft weight is included. For a non-DW pedal, check the receiver and shaft specifications before you buy. If you use a mesh kick pad, consult the pad maker before choosing a contact surface. The two faces give you a choice after the beater and surface compatibility checks.

Questions about this accessory

Can I replace both beaters on a double pedal?

The selected listing is for one beater. Verify the pedal model and order two if you want to replace both.

Which side gives the more pronounced attack?

DW recommends the plastic face for more attack. Use the felt side if you prefer its warmer, more focused response.

Does the weight come separately?

DW lists the shaft weight as included. The beater mounts to an existing compatible pedal.
