JGpercussion is proud to introduce the David Herbert Signature Series of timpani mallets. Each pair features the same innovative carbon fiber (graphite) shaft as before – and every pair is handmade by JGpercussion.
Each model was created in collaboration with David Herbert – Principal Timpanist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Each stick is 14.5” long (37cm) and has a slight taper from the handle to the head of the mallet.
Descriptions in parenthesis denote the previous model number.
DH7 “Rite of Spring” (L1WA)
Hard American felt over a large wood core. This is a rich and full sounding stick with a clean attack, perfect for driving the orchestra such as the majority of passages in Rite of Spring and the second movement of Beethoven Symphony #9.
“The construction of this mallet and combination of weight and materials delivers plenty of rhythmic drive and power.” – David Herbert
