I'm just wondering if any of you could recommend quality, low cost timpani and marimba mallets for me to use in the little bit of that stuff that I do. What I've been looking at and have used in the past are Vic Firth's general timpani mallet and their medium hard rubber mallet. I would really like something priced fairly cheaply because I won't be using these much. Oh also, my Steve Weiss catalogue lists a lot of mallets at lower costs than the Vic Firths; are any of them of good quality?
