Tackle Instrument Supply and Dragonfly Percussion have once again teamed up to create The Big Softy- the biggest and softest bass drum beater on the planet. Like Dragonfly’s other popular beaters, The Big Softy is constructed of tightly stacked layers of fabric on a threaded brass stem. The Big Softy sports 3” discs of soft, fluffy flannel, resulting in a huge bass response. Because the beater has no core- only the layers of fleece, there is almost no attack. This beater has a ton of give against the head, and feels as luscious as it sounds.
If you want to transform the sound of your kick into something totally new with maximum, full-bodied lows and virtually no contact sound- look no further than the Big Softy.
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.
