Good, pricey, and very orange
These beaters are much more durable than the felts that ship with the Eliminator Demon Drive pedal, and they swap straight in and work really well.
They're a little expensive for what they are - and I've seen them sold for a lot more than they are on Thomann - but they are, in the end, the genuine article.
I had problems with them going through Roland mesh heads. As Roland's documentation warns, felt beaters are no good; the mesh rips them up and the dust gets inside the drum. Wood beaters are tough enough to slowly rip up the kevlar and go through. Worse, they'll also damage the felt pad behind the bass drum.
For acoustic drums, though, they're punchy and cool. And they look brilliant.

The sound of this beater is poor due to its abnormal shape, although the elastic core is a great idea for all of us drummers suffering from the endless vibrations we get to our body through kick pedals, the sound of this pedal is not what i expected it to be. The weight of it is great but the sound is just not there.

Wood for the win!
I love a nice, heavy wooden beater. Not only do they look great in the orange, but they give a powerful thwack to my 24" bass drum, which tends to sound a bit boomy when playing fast metal with lighter plastic beaters. Strongly recommended!

Pearl wooden beaters
Great feel from these beaters given the softer core which takes away unnecessary vibrations going back up through your legs.

Very good beater, i've been using it for a year now on my Demon Drive double bass pedal, quality made and provides very good attack and overall sound!
