Tackle Instrument Supply and Dragonfly Percussion have once again teamed up, this time to create The Big Softy, a large, soft bass drum beater. Like Dragonfly’s other beaters, The Big Softy is constructed of tightly stacked layers of fabric on a threaded brass stem. The Big Softy sports 3-inch 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. The drum beater lets players transform the sound of their kick into something totally new and full-bodied with maximum lows.
