Punch and clarity!

I've been searching for the right beater for me. Turns out the felt Yamaha beater with weights is it! I slapped the heavier gold weights on and off I went. They provide the right amount of punch with clarity that I'm looking for.

Tama. It's for you.

Sturdy. Comfortable. Firm, yet soft. Hydraulic lift is smooth. It's the sort of thing that, during use, if you never give it a thought, it's a good product. Yo.
