This new model is based on the same design as the BDF1 yet still lighter than the standard BD4 wood shaft model. Its perfect for players that prefer traditional grip when playing with pairs.

They are extremely versatile. It is essentially the lighter weight version of its big hickory brother, the BD4. Same head size and American felt covering as the BD4, but with the added agility of the smaller diameter fiberglass shaft design. Great for any rhythms or grace notes such as Carmina Burana and of course ALL Prokofiev bass drum parts. Or as a general beater on smaller drums for a smaller more compact sound. Extremely versatile and excellent on small tam tams and medium tuned gongs.
