New timpani mallets offer superb variation

New bamboo timpani mallets from Centre Stage Percussion offer a superb sound impact.

Bamboo mallets
 

Centre Stage Percussion has unveiled its latest range of bamboo shaft timpani mallets.

Amazing

A spokesperson told 4BR: "Having used the finest 8mm bamboo shafts, which have been immaculately paired for tonal, flex and grain quality, the sound impact of these sticks are amazing.

Perfectly balanced weighting on the sticks gives players maximum impact at minimum effort whilst always maintaining superb control."

Range and category

The range is currently available in soft, medium and hard heads. In each category there is the choice of small, medium or large head size.

Put simply, this is a great range of sticks to suit all players from amateur through to professional, and priced at just £24 per pair, they are another example of what incredible value Centre Stage Percussion provides!
