this is a really soft beater, defiinetely not for eveyone and for any application, but if you're into some experimenting I would suggest use it , you never know when you will need it especially if you have a small home studio like me, it is good to have it lying around so you can try it out with certain songs etc. One note, be carefull if you're transporting it , don't just leave in the bag with other hardware, base is made from cork so it is fragile, put it in separate pocket or something. Regarding the sound, it really gives you that BOOM from you bass drum that you can't achieve with any other beater. So to sumarize: great for experiment, probably not to be used as main beater, only if you are into some vintage or jazz stuff. Overall, love it !
