Tama DS30 Dual-Sided Bass Drum Beater

The dual-sided head and the shaft of the Tama DS30.

When to choose it

Use the DS30 when you want two striking faces on a compatible pedal. Tama documents a 6.3 mm shaft and offers felt for a softer response and a hard resin face for more attack. Try the two faces at the same shaft height on the same head if the sound change is what you are comparing.

Check the pedal receiver size and your kick surface before ordering. This is the DS30 felt-and-resin model. Tama offers a separate DS30R rubber variant. If your mesh pad maker recommends a particular contact material, use that guidance before selecting either face.

Questions about this accessory

How do I identify the rubber version?

Tama lists DS30R as a separate model. The DS30 uses felt and a hard resin face.

Will a 6.3 mm shaft fit my current pedal?

Check your pedal’s receiver and documentation. The shaft diameter is the starting point when the manufacturer has not listed your pedal.

Does this purchase include a pedal?

The listing is for the beater assembly. It mounts in a compatible pedal that you already have.
