Danmar 778BIC R/T 69 Kick Beater Red Wood Ball Black Shaft Black Cross

Punchy Hardwood Kick Response With a Fast Lightweight Feel

The Danmar 778BIC R/T 69 Kick Beater is designed for drummers who want a firmer, more immediate bass drum attack than a traditional felt beater provides. Its red wood ball creates a harder contact point, giving each stroke extra punch and clearer definition while keeping the overall feel light and responsive.

The lightweight construction helps the pedal move and return quickly, making the 778BIC useful for players who want speed without losing the solid impact of a hardwood strike. Compared with softer felt designs, the wood ball places more emphasis on attack and cut, helping the kick drum speak more clearly in louder playing situations.

The beater measures 203.2mm (8") in total length and uses Danmar’s exclusive shaft design. Its black shaft and black cross detail give the beater a bold visual finish, while the hand-painted red wood ball receives eight heavy coats of chip-resistant finish for added durability.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the 778BIC suits drummers looking for a quick, lightweight beater with a more pronounced hardwood punch and a distinctive red-and-black finish.
