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+.
