Description

The Promark Jonathan Haas JH2 Staccato Timpani Mallets are wrapped with hard red felt, one degree harder than the white felt, making it useful for all performing situations. In addition to the JH1 and the JH3, the JH2 provides the timpanist with a complementary choice of hard mallets.

Virtuoso timpanist Jonathan Haas has raised the status of the timpani to that of a solo instrument throughout his unique career. From classical concertos to jazz and rock & roll, from symphonic masterpieces to the most experimental compositions of living composers, Haas has championed, commissioned and celebrated music for his instrument, becoming, as Ovation magazine hailed him, “The Paganini of the timpani.”

Specifications:

  • Handle Material - Oak

Nice Mallet but Stains Timpani Heads

As a school band director of beginners through high school, I have appreciated the JH2's tonal characteristics and durability. However, it must be noted that the red-dyed felt of the JH2 will leave permanent red marks on your timpani heads. Promark's recommended cleaning solution did not seem to help. While the red dye on the heads has not bled onto our other white-colored felt mallets, it is an unfortunate situation when a set of timpani heads runs between $400-$500+.

These mallets served me well in college, but while they're a bit better than the JH4s, I never found them exceptional.

I recommended these for my high school instructor to buy for ensemble use in his band and these are a great purchase. They produce a surprisingly warm tone for being felt mallets, and are great for staccato hits to cut above the ensemble without being shrill and harsh. These also can be used for some solo applications as long as you do not have to use them for rolls. The handles feel amazing and the mallets feel extremely light and a little longer than normal, which might not be true but it's just the sense I get from these. 10/10 recommended.

Favorite Tympani Mallets

As a middle school band director, I found myself frequently asking my students to strike the tympani with more force or to use harder mallets. I discovered these mallets when I judged blind (behind a screen) all-district band auditions and tympani players from one school continuously produced clean stokes with consistently appropriate tones. My last pair lasted a couple of years and are still in pretty good condition. If you have ever asked a timpanist to use harder mallets or to play with more force, you owe it to yourself to try these!

I've been using these for a while and they've held up very well. A little heavy, but they sound really good. I got these mallets because I was looking for something in between VF ultra-staccatos and the staccatos and these are great! I use them for a lot of classical stuff because of the good articulation, AND warm sound.
