Vic Firth American Custom Staccato Timpani Mallets
The Innovative Percussion GTX Series Timpani Mallets are put together with the same materials and methods used in high-end professional implements, but with enough weight and strength to handle the volume requirements of marching ensembles.
The GTX-4 Hard/Staccato models are bright and punchy, appropriate for any part with fast notes that need to be clearly heard. They've got a lot of up front attack that amplifies rhythmic clarity.
The German felt covering the wooden cores of these mallets has been applied parachute-style, leaving no stitching on the edge. This design gives the mallets the same sound quality all the way around the head, and players don't have to constantly check themselves.
Straight maple handles put a lot of weight up at the front end of the mallets, helping boost volume and projection.
