My Project

Our marching band is getting into full swing! The bass drums and xylophones are ready to perform and their marching show calls for many dynamic and stylistic changes.

Our bass drums and xylophones need new mallets to perform their very best!

The new mallets will enable out musicians to perform passages softly and passages such as solos loud enough for our audiences to hear and "wow" over! The harder mallets will help the players play passages with shorter notes to ensure everything is performed clearly. In addition, the rollers will allow our bass drums to perform those rolls nice and smooth.
