The 40 layers of canvas discs stacked tightly together produce a super round, bass-y sound, but with a surprising amount of punch and clarity.  While softer than your standard felt beater, it elicits a fat, bold, warm sound without sacrificing attack and punch.

The hardest beater 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.
