Anyone put any really good beaters on it yet? Any recommendations?

Myself and another drummer have played on the same kit using these pedals with no problems. They have stayed adjusted being played 3 times a week 1.5 hr sessions.

I play Brutal Death Metal and I still have the beaters that came on it and they do just fine for me.

I bought this pedal about 10 months ago and I like it. I've put it through quite a bit of stress and I've really beat it. My only complaint is that sometimes the pedals' springs are not strong enough to pull the mallet back all the way in time for another good sounding, loud strike. Other than that, I'm very happy.

Best beater I ever owned. It's fantastic and powerful. I bet you could turn cream into butter with this effortless beater.

M.Wallace, there are a number of beater's that are for this mixer - i.e. General mixing, whisk type, one for bread, etc. and probably more are available. I'd check with KitchenAid.com to view all that's available. This is a great mixer!

Oh yes! the case is just about perfect - not only does the cord fit but also all the beater accessories. The unit sits on top and the front end locks in. The only drawback I found was when using the unit I hate having to ramp up with a sticky finger to get to the speed I want. Also the unit has no resting place to set it down and let the beaters hang in the pot. Nothing we cannot deal with , just a little inconvenient -otherwise a great replacement for what I had.

Just curious if you ever found a good mixer with a slow speed? I'm still hunting for one.

When you first turn it on one it comes out with a high burst and quickly turns to low. I feel that it isn't low enough, but with the very thin beater blades it may appear faster.

Mine didn't last long enough to rust. The little plastic ring that holds the beaters cannot be replaced. Hamilton-Beach told me that at this time, they don't sell any parts. It has been sitting around for over a year and there is not sign of rust anywhere. Note the veiled warning about the plastic components. BTW, the motor functions perfectly -- there's just no way to hold one beater in its housing.

As a former aircraft mechanic...if you're looking to add a stereo system to a fairing I would seek out a fairing designed for one. The Memphis Shades Batwing Fairing is nice by itself but not designed for add-ons.

Sorry...my kitchen aid is old as sin, model K4555. The beater does great w/this model and yes I did have doubt when I ord it but it worked great If this site recommended a prat for your use, go for it.

I bought the Lyr and Bifrost by SchiitJust sent the Bifrost in for an overhaul - new boards (UBER) and getting new tubes for the LyrFor under $1k I don't think you can do better - Just got the wife a Valhalla for her HD650s - even SHE likes it <g>

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this question! I was trying to wait until I used the beater again, to check, but still haven't done so. Yes, I do think there is a bit more of a "bump" with this beater than I would have expected. There don't seem to be any particular ill-effects of the "bumping" so I guess it's okay. Still, yours may be "bumping" more than most. Maybe trying a replacement beater would be a good idea, since you don't feel quite right about the one you have.

Yes. The scraper beater is the best. It swipes the sides for you rather than you doing it with a scraper.

I've had better but for $5? Yeah it probably is the best $5 knife I've had, get it while it's on sale if you need a decent beater.

It should not scratch if used properly and if beaters are installed properly

Don't know what a beater bar is... V is in Florida; won't be there till the fall. Perhaps call Eureka. Sorry.

We haven't used the beater blade yet. We mostly use the mixing and hook blades, which work good. Sorry I'm not much help.
