American
Custom® Timpani Mallets
|
These
six models reflect Vic's forty plus years of experience
as 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. |
Tim
Genis Signature Timpani
Mallets
|
This versatile line of timpani mallets is tonal in character
and designed to create different colors and qualities of
articulation. Persimmon shafts provide a darker sound.
The balance and weight of each model make articulation
effortless. |
Corpsmaster® Timpani Mallets
|
Corpsmaster® timpani
mallets are specifically designed to withstand the rigors
of outdoor performance applications. The mallets have
straight, non-tapered hickory shafts which put more weight
forward toward the mallet head. This produces greater
sound with less effort for maximum sound projection on
the field. Their enhanced weight also produces lower
fundamentals from the drum head for a darker, fuller
sound. |
European
Classic® Timpani Mallets
|
These
timpani mallets produce a sound unique to the Baroque and
classical repertoire. The shafts are bamboo, giving them
a light, velvety feel. The heads, which are slightly smaller
than contemporary mallets, produce a sharp and focused sound.
Single strokes elicit airy, shimmering sounds. |
Tom
Gauger Signature Series Combination Mallets/Timpani
|
Tom Gauger developed his line of combination mallets during
his 35+ year career with the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops
Orchestras
and as an educator at Boston University and the Boston University
Tanglewood Institute. Each product was developed on the job
and for the job, designed to solve a technical problem or achieve
a desired sound. |
