First off, welcome to the forum.

To answer your question (which is a good one BTW), a felt beater on mesh is like sandpaper on wood. The felt beater induces too much friction on the mesh head and will burn a hole in the mesh. That is why mesh bass pads should only use the non felt side of a beater.

Unfortunately, most people don't ever ask why and their solution is to add a bass drum patch on the mesh and then complain that the kick pad is too loud. All because they think you must use the felt side of the beater.

Again, welcome to the forum.

lasseboy:
Thank you!!!!
