Low Boy, maker of handcrafted bass drum beaters, today announced the launch of its newest exclusive colorway in partnership with Sweetwater: Natural with Red Sparkle Stripes. The release, part of Low Boy’s Drum Shop Designed program, marks the third exclusive finish collaboration between the two companies and arrives just in time to kick off Sweetwater’s annual Drum Month.
The Natural with Red Sparkle Stripes finish is available across all eight of Low Boy’s signature beater models. Drummers can choose between the Standard (95g) and Lightweight (80g) weights, with each turned from premium North American hard maple and offered in wood, felt, leather, or lambswool striking surfaces. This versatile combination of weights and materials ensures a tailored feel and tone for players across every genre, from metal and punk to jazz and Americana.
A key highlight of this latest collaboration is its affordability. The Natural with Red Sparkle Stripes beaters are priced in Low Boy’s entry tier, starting at just $35 MAP.
“I know money is tight for everyone right now, including musicians,” said Low Boy founder Jeremy Brieske. “When developing this line, Sweetwater challenged us to create a beater that was stunning while remaining highly affordable—to build a true boutique piece of drum gear at a $35 price point. I think we delivered.”
Sweetwater shared equal enthusiasm for the ongoing partnership. “We love every opportunity to collaborate with Low Boy and we always have so much fun coming up with new designs,” said Evan Turner of Sweetwater. “This latest offering is simple but elegant, and feels amazing – just like every Low Boy beater!”
The Natural with Red Sparkle Stripes beaters will be available exclusively through Sweetwater beginning June 3, coinciding with the start of the retailer’s annual Drum Month.
In addition to this product launch, drummers can also check their local drum shops for exclusive finishes closer to home. Low Boy’s Drum Shop Designed program continues to offer custom, exclusive colorways tailored to independent authorized Low Boy dealers worldwide.
