Specialty Sticks & Mallets for Alternative Sounds

Percussive sounds are as limitless as your imagination and the tools available to you.

Examples:

Blasticks

Blasticks are played like sticks but produce a soft, full sound somewhere between a brush and a stick. Excellent for shuffles.

Flares

Much like a Blastick with a wider, softer plastic grip.

Grip Thai

Bundled wooden dowels which produce alternative sounds, softer than sticks but with more attack than brushes.

John Beck Multi-Percussion Mallets

A stick at one end, mallet at the other and a brass triangle beater connecting the two. A must have for any pit drummer.

Saul Goodman Cartwheel Mallet

Seven models of timpani mallets each producing different sounds, from harder to softer, on both drums and cymbals.

Taku Stick

A multi-functional stick with a gum rubber grip that can be used like a mallet for cymbal swells, a nylon cap for timbales, and a rivet for cymbal scrapes.

Timbale Sticks

Cut from top quality white sapwood hickory in a variety of diameters & lengths for that "cracking" sound on the timbale drums.

Conga Stick

An instrument that can be used to simulate the human hand striking congas, bongos and other hand drums.
