Bass drum sets a foundation for everything we play.
Here I compare 4 bass drum beaters. Not only can you hear their differences in terms of sound, I also rate them in several categories, showing how they are designed for different playing styles/environments.

Did you try video record your practice? You will be surprised how much information you can discover from the video.
