Soft and Hard
The unique Block Beater features a solid wood core with a softer outer latex layer. Played softly, it produces a warm, rounded tone; when struck harder, the inner core speaks through for a brighter, more articulate sound.
Added weight at the front improves balance and enhances articulation at higher dynamics.
Versatile
Works with a wide range of blocks and bells
Tested with: Brass Lasagna Bright Bell, LP Cha Cha Bell, LP Blast Blocks, LP Jam Block High (blue), LP Piccolo Jam Block (orange), LP Sambago Blocks, Pearl Ash Tone Block (Hi Pitch), Tycoon 4" Temple Block, Tycoon Small Mountable Wood Block.
Unique Design
With its unique "S" shape, the Block Arm easily accommodates many types of blocks and bells, making setup simple and flexible.

Designed and built by Broadway drummer/percussionist Billy Miller in Seattle, Washington.
