Vic Firth VicKick Fleece-Covered Bass Drum Beater
When to choose it
Compare the VKB3 when you want the contact of fleece over felt for a rounded bass drum attack. The oval head has published dimensions of three inches by 2¾ inches. Compare the head’s clearance around adjacent hardware before using it on a double pedal, particularly when the two receivers are close together.
Vic Firth documents one mounting orientation for this fleece model. If you want to compare two strike faces on the same beater, a reversible felt-and-plastic model is a different choice. Check the pedal’s receiver and the playing surface’s material guidance before buying the VKB3.
