Excellent
These beaters are the best in my opionion. I think Tama really hit a home run with these detachable beaters. It's efficient as you are not required to be a new metal rod each time you need a new beater. I have the entire range - felt, rubber and wood. My favourite, which is an entirely subjective and application dependant (you wouldn't use the wooden one at a jazz gig) is the wood. The wooden one has lots of attack and not as much sustain. As I use 2 mics this one is perfect for the inside mic and I use the outside mic to balance my sustain. If I was only using one mic I would use either the felt whic has the most balanced tonality or the rubber if I wanted a more slappy quality to the bass drum. The tonality of the rubber beater is in between the felt and wood. The rubber attack has a slightly different quality to the wood and to my ear sounds slightly slappier whereas the wood is very aggressive.

Great kick sound
I replaced my Tama Iron Cobra felt beater heads with these wooden beater heads and you get a quite different sound. It's crisp and has a lot of kick and therefore less bass sound. They're also very durable but you should use a Falam Slam Pad to extend the life of your drum head.

Mmmm... thump.
Coming from the rubber versions I knew I was in for quality.
It's nice and light weight and the head is really easy to change out (unscrew, twist, done.). The wood is well shaped so you still get a massive thump when you hit your kick drum, but it doesn't have any sharp bits to cut through your kick head. The edges are rounded off nicely so that, even if it does twist while you're playing, you'll not damage your head.
Your sticks are made of wood, why not your beater, too?

power!!
If you want a really strong attack that cuts through, look no further! Even though it can get really aggresive, it sounds to me much better that plastic beater for softer playing, very versatile.
