Vic Firth American Custom Timpani Mallet Series (Various)

These six modelsreflect Vic's fifty years of experienceas Solo Timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Each mallet is turned from a single piece of rock maple, which eliminates a core that could rattle and the need for a screw-on washer to secure the head. Coupled with round seamless heads, they produce bigger and brighter sounds.

T3 - Staccato -Medium hard for rhythmic articulation.
T4 - Ultra Staccato -Hard. Produces the clearest rhythmic projection of the felt models.
