New Integrated Rubber Surface Featured On Speedball Self-Aligning Bass Drum Beaters [ Winter NAMM 2007 ]

22 January 2007 — Yoav DeBasc, president and founder of Puresound Percussion, has announced a major improvement to the playing surface of Puresound’s rubber Speedball bass drum beater. The specially-designed, self-aligning beater now features an integrated rubber surface that is mechanically bonded to the beater head for improved durability and performance. With a hardness in between felt and plastic, the rubber Speedball creates a deep, yet articulate tone that is recommended for a variety of playing styles.

Like Puresound’s felt and plastic models, the upgraded rubber Speedball also features an adjustable counter weight and a stainless steel shaft in a choice of standard or extended length. Speedball bass drum beaters carry a suggested list price of $32.95 and are available at leading drumshops and music stores.
