Precision in Motion – Shape Your Tenor Sound

Tenor mallets are designed to bring out the full range of tones from your marching or concert tenor drums. The right pair gives you the control to execute intricate patterns, drive powerful accents, or blend seamlessly within the ensemble. Whether you’re performing tight split parts on the field or adding depth to indoor percussion, tenor mallets ensure clarity, projection, and balance.

Head Designs & Sound Profiles

  • Felt Heads (Soft to Hard)
    • Soft Felt produces warm, rounded tones ideal for blending in ensemble passages.
    • Medium Felt balances warmth and definition, offering versatility for a wide range of dynamics.
    • Hard Felt creates sharp, articulate strokes with excellent projection, perfect for cutting through in outdoor settings.
  • Nylon Heads -Bright and precise, nylon tips deliver maximum articulation and durability, making them ideal for fast runs and high-volume environments.
  • Rubber Heads – Offer clear, focused sound with a slightly softer attack than nylon, providing control without losing projection.
