The Freer Percussion TB triangle beater is the same unique teardrop shape and design as the TSS model but made of a custom brass alloy.
The brass alloy composition makes for a beater that is a little less articulate and mellower in sound than stainless steel. The tapered front tip facilitates dynamic playing especially in soft to loud rolls. Has a soft latex rubber grip for comfort and non slip grip. The difference between the TSS and the TB models is the clarity of sound. Both sound great on any triangle. I personally use the stainless version as my general beater and the brass version for more legato and blending parts.
