Tim Genis, Principal Timpanist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, designed this versatile line of timpani mallets to be tonal in character and to create different colors and qualities of articulation. Persimmon shafts provide a darker sound. The balance and weight of each model make articulation effortless.
