Felt-Tip Mallets

You can use the multipurpose WPM200 Felt-Tip Mallets for playing multiple instruments, including timpani, bass drum, and field instruments. With felt-wrapped round heads, these mallets are soft enough to be used safely on instruments traditionally played with the hands, such as bongos and congas. Despite their articulate nature, they can produce mellow tones on tuned instruments such as marimbas, glockenspiels, and vibraphones. By using lower frequencies, they can also produce a lighter, slower attack on suspended drum-kit cymbals, gongs, and bells. For a comfortable, natural grip, the shafts are thickest at the handle end. And with 15 inches of length, they make it easy to achieve proper beater positioning on a wide range of large drums. The striking end of the handles is slightly tapered for balanced weight distribution and precise stroke control. By varying the velocity of your hits, you can generate different levels of projection and sustain using the cork at the core of the heads. To ensure consistent contact from every striking angle, the heads are evenly rounded without any flat areas. Lightweight solid-wood handle construction delivers strength for hard playing and durability you can rely on for long-lasting performance.
