Paul Chalklin is a respected percussion teacher and session player and he created his range of Chalklin percussion mallets because he believed the highest quality of percussion instruments deserved the highest quality mallets. We agree that materials and craftsmanship that go into these mallets make them the best in the business.

Drum kit players have a whole world of choice. Why shouldn’t percussion players? Have a look through our catalogue and choose from different levels of hardness and shaft materials to get exactly the feel and sound you want.

Chalklin MS21, MS22, MS23, MS24 and MS25 despite being designed for timpani players are popular with drum kit players for using on cymbals for atmospheric rolls and washy crashes. When played on the snare and toms they give off a dull muted sound which can be great for more subtle playing at low volumes.

Vater offer timbale sticks in 3 different weights, 7/16″, 1/2″3/8″, so you are sure to find the correct weight and style for you.
