Thank you for viewing. VATER VBF Felt beater. There are stains in the areas shown in the photos. Since it has hardly been used, there is no wear or deformation of the felt. Weighing in at 104g, it's a heavy beater, and the felt itself is also hard, so you can get a pretty strong attack and a deep, low-end sound. It's similar in weight to a dw original beater. I think it would be a good fit for genres that emphasize the beat, such as hard rock. It might be a bit too much low-end for pop music. The VATER logo is just a sticker, so it will probably come off eventually. Please be aware of this.
