Latin Percussion LP388B Gajate Cowbell Beater Pedal

The Latin Percussion LP388B Gajate 4-Sided Cowbell Beater was developed in collaboration with acclaimed percussionist Richie Gajate-Garcia, who is well known for his innovative approach to foot-played cowbell and percussion. The beater's defining feature is its four-sided head, which provides two rubber striking surfaces and two plastic striking surfaces. This design lets you dial in different tones simply by rotating the beater within your pedal's clamp—rubber faces yield a softer, darker sound with less attack, while plastic faces produce a sharper, more cutting tone that projects well in a live mix.

Built on a hardened steel shaft, the LP388B is engineered for compatibility with most standard bass drum pedals, making it a straightforward swap for any player looking to expand their pedal percussion palette. At just 3.17 ounces and 12 inches long, it's light enough to maintain responsive pedal action. Beyond cowbells, the beater works equally well with jam blocks and other mountable percussion instruments, giving kit players and multi-percussionists a single accessory that covers a broad range of tonal needs without cluttering their setup.
