Best Drum & Percussion Mallets

Vic Firth American Custom Timpani -- General
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. Produces rich sound yet is capable of rhythmic clarity.

Reviews
"Good price and good quality."
"They were a good buy, and just what my grandson wanted for his birthday."
"Perhaps they use throw outs from regular sticks to build these mallets?"
"These are well constructed, I bought another brand that cost more and the covering was falling apart when I got them, and they were too hard, cymbal swells were not great."
"Great product - prompt shipping!"
"Nice feel in your hands, not to heavy."
"Nice little drum thumpers."
"works well, but the mallet "mesh" is more solid, and isn't as "giving" as I was expecting."

Zildjian Cymbal Mallets, Black
Style: Cymbal, Black. Mounted on a 7A Hickory drumstick, Diam: .525".
Reviews
"I'll get the issue out of the way first: the reason I subtracted a star is because the handles on these mallets are slippery. Other physical characteristics include the head, which is 1.875 inches in diameter tapering to 0.75 top and bottom with a height of about 1.75 inches. From the bottom of the head to the end of the handle is 13.5 inches, with an overall length of 15.25 inches, and the handle is 0.4375 inches in diameter (thinner than a typical 7A stick)."
"Otherwise, if it's the size you need, well Zildjian doesn't need extra advertising )) I tried it on my smaller gong, though, and it sounds too muted, too soft."
"They bring out excellent tone from cymbals when performing crescendos and I really like the tribal sound they pull out of my drums."
"These are listed as cymbal mallets, but I decided to experiment and I am currently using on my Conga, Bongo, Timbale set up and like the tone I can get without worry of damaging the heads going from one drum to the next."
"I love these for cymbal crescendos."
"looks good to me..worked great on the bonger thing at Yamotos Steak House(yummy)..we left it there because theirs was worn out..guess I'll know when I go back and check on how well it has held up..."
"really nice weight and feel...this mallet is heavy enough to a good sound out of a 22" gong without the need to warm it up."
"I am thankful for the return policy....but it looked like someone had cut into it."

"They are difficult to fully open and then retract due to the large bends in the rods."
