Description

While the contributions of the front ensemble continue to evolve within the marching idiom, so do the demands of the mallets that are used by their highly talented players. Tom Rarick, percussion arranger for the Bluecoats Drum & Bugle Corps, has assisted Innovative Percussion with the design of this unique series of keyboard mallets.

The Tom Rarick Series marimba mallets from Innovative Percussion feature large round cores wrapped with a light grey synthetic wool-blend yarn, while the vibraphone mallets have cord-wrapped large oval cores. All 7 models are built on slightly larger (11/32") polished birch handles. The heavier cores increase projection and enhance the fundamental tone, while the larger handles help balance and control.

These mallets are very good looking and feeling. They have very thick shafts and heads and are very heavy-the way marching snare drum sticks are to regular drumset sticks. Not much tick and lots of boom, but it struggles to maintain consistent tone on a smaller 3.0 (C3-C6) but on louder dynamics on the high register, it can squeeze out some good tones. But, I've heard good sounds on marching music which is what these are made for. If you wanted a "medium" mallets for a 4-mallet graduated set, then this is way too soft for that function, but good as a boomy bass mallet. Try the 3003's for a lot more functionality.
