when you're on a tight budget
This beater works. It's nothing fancy and it probably won't last you a lifetime if you're a very enthusiastic drummer, but then again - if you play double pedal, you're probably looking for a different shape anyway. The large felty surface tickles the perfect amount of low end out of my 20" Ludwig Classic Maple. However, it's much harder than I expected it to be and I do quite like that. Nothing rattles, nothing seems to come off at any second and the tone is great. Maybe I will update in a few months though and see if it is still in one piece.

For that old school sound
Between modern and fluffy beaters you have this:
Plenty of articulation but a rounder tone than plastic.

Good felt beater
Great felt beater on the softer side, like the old beaters that where actually made of felt.
If you want a less clicky sound that more modern hard beaters give you.

More boooom
After the first three months on my second hand kit which came with a Millenium double pedal I decided to get myself an "old style" beater instead of using the cube shape one with plenty of plastic on it and a look i just can't get used to. When I first played a bit of drums 30-odd years ago the beater looked like a beater. Anyway I got this one. At first I was surprised it is pretty hard material used - as it actualy said in the discription for it - it looks much fluffier in the picture. Though the difference in weight is ever so slighty - the new one has 12gram more - the over all lenght is the same, it makes a difference not only in the sound, it also makes the feel of the pedal board under the foot somewhat different. I converted the double pedal into a single one a while ago and speed is not really a main focus with my kick drum playing at this stage as a beginner (4th month now). It could be that it is a little slower but the warm "boom" it creates is definately worth a try for this little money. At some point I think of getting a soft felt beater for a bit more money but this can wait. For now I'm glad I got myself this one.

Surprisingly balanced.
Plays well. For such a cheap thing. It's got more attack than I expected, and it's not light but this feels like any other classic felt pedal.
It's just a few grams short (almost 90 grams) compared to the heaviest beater I got: the Gibraltar wood beater, which is just over 90 grams. The weight difference is only about 5-7 grams.
You will never spend your 5 bucks wrong on this.

It's okay I guess but does not fit a Pearl pedal
I was going with the description that it "fits all pedals", but I found out that the metal rod is too thick to fit in a Pearl pedal.

Good quality felt beater
A good beater, really well made and does the job properly. This beater is really robust and the felt is hard and sturdy.
It is a great choice if someone has to stay on budget but is looking for quality: this beater is an excellent compromise.
Moreover, look at the price: unbeatable!

Not bad
I bought this beater in order to fix my old backup pedal. I didn't have any kind of expectation about it, really. I just wanted a metal thingy with a felt head, that's it. When I tried it I was nicely surprised. It has got a good definition, it's not too heavy at all and it feels just right. Not the best beater in the world, of course. But, let's be honest, do you need the best beater in the world? Come on! I would say for the price this is a total nobrainer. Great!

Very Fluffy
I dislike my bass drum to have a lot of attack and this is the one I would recommend if you are the same as me.
It feels great to play with and it's lasted me since 2012

Great Value
I had no problem to use this beater - it slid right into my bass drum pedal and was roughly the same dimension as the more expensive beater it replaced. I actually bought two of these, one to use and one as a spare. The second one is still in the packaging as the first is still going strong and shows no signs of breaking. Great value for the price.
