Very Good Mallets
Here is the orchestra excerpt timpani part for DH3 suggest by David. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_bOBtBu8m0 Symphony No.4, 1st movement by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
I have two pairs of the JG/Herbert mallets, and two pairs of Herbert mallets I bought in NYC about 20 years ago. The older mallets have a much better construction with some added details: end caps, cleaner stitching, etc. I use them all. Well balanced weight and comfortable to use. Very good with the smaller orchestra and brass group gigs I do in Duke University Chapel. I will say that the shafts, when clicked together, emit a clave-like sound that can be a little troublesome when you are trying to pick them up during a quiet passage. Caution advised, or else muffle them by wrapping some tape around the base.
These are the first carbon fiber timp mallets and Herbert mallets I ever used and the are great! The sound and response are great! I will definitely be buying more models.
