With these five pairs of XG Series, everything is possible! The truly incomparable "Winning Hammer" was born. From orchestra to brass band, classical to pop, five different types of mallets cover a wide range of music. The same is true for the three primary colors of light. By varying the slight touch of these five hammers, a wide variety of timbres can be expressed. Take advantage of the characteristics of each mallet and explore your own sound!
