Abstract
A drum beater including a hollow housing and loose fill material to generate a rattle sound upon striking a drum is disclosed herein. A user can customize the sound and loudness of the generated rattle or sound by changing the size, shape, quantity, materials, or combinations thereof of the hollow housing. The user can further customize the sound and loudness that they wish to create by also changing the size, shape, material, amounts or combinations thereof of the loose fill material. The drum beater also includes a rod to mount the drum beater to a drum foot pedal to control the drum beater while playing the drums. Optionally, the drum beater includes a pad mounted thereon, which changes the way the rattle sounds. The user, such as a musician, is free to express their creativity by how much can be varied in order to generate different sounds and rattles.
