Choosing the Right Mallets - The Mike Balter Pro Vibe Series 23R, affectionally called Balter Blues, are probably the most versatile wound mallet I know. Marketed for vibraphone, these mallets have a distinctive blue cord head (1.5” diameter) paired with a rattan shaft. They work well on vibraphones and marimbas as a medium/medium-hard grade respectively or in the lower octaves of xylophones as a medium-soft grade. They’re also a great mallet for suspended cymbal rolls and some drums or auxiliary instruments, like low toms or woodblocks.

A popular choice is something like the Vic Firth Soundpower GB4 beater. This medium grade mallet has a 3 11/32” yarn head and considerably more weight behind it.

In the Adelaide Wind Orchestra we use these for practically every auxiliary instrument (especially woodblocks), quieter xylophone parts, or when we’re trying to make a glockenspiel sound like a celeste. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/657bfafc28a46a3fc4164020/ab86d16e-4db8-4e77-9270-bfa38d95b847/balter+blue.png Blog - Choosing the Right Mallets - If you need something a bit harder, I’d recommend the OR39R (Hard) mallets from Malletech’s Orchestral Series. They are much louder and have a bit of bite to them, so I wouldn’t use them for more delicate auxiliary instruments. But for xylophone playing these are a ‘gold standard’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/657bfafc28a46a3fc4164020/7a8e6e69-b968-401d-9e72-67a9fc8cc39b/balter+blue.png Blog - Choosing the Right Mallets - For glockenspiel you typically want a hard grade mallet. Some rubber mallets can be used on glockenspiels, but they usually produce a lot of contact sound depending on the quality of your instrument. Vic Firth’s M441 Articulate Series phenolic mallets (1” head) are a solid alternative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/657bfafc28a46a3fc4164020/e8208cf7-20f8-4801-99bb-1956181a3d20/balter+blue.png Blog - Choosing the Right Mallets - For bass drum, the Vic Firth Soundpower BD1 (General) are a strong choice. These beaters are good for both articulate passage and rolls, so will cover the majority of school repertoire requirements. Nothing fancy, but reliable and produce a full bodied sound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/657bfafc28a46a3fc4164020/3e79536b-0acc-462e-97cd-c1dbbb9ae89d/balter+blue.png Blog - Choosing the Right Mallets - For timpani mallets I once again have to recommend Vic Firth, this time their American Custom Timpani T1 (General) or T3 (Staccato) mallets. I suggest the staccatos largely because I’ve found school students tend to struggle with articulation on timpani. Using a harder mallet helps to offset this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/657bfafc28a46a3fc4164020/e69dc2aa-77a7-4d26-a124-50a0d2ca17f8/balter+blue.png Blog - Choosing the Right Mallets - For any South Australian readers, timpani mallets are actually some of the easier mallets to get in SA because we’re lucky enough to have Hill Mallets nearby! The Scholar Series is a terrific option for schools as it provides soft, general, and hard mallet options designed with student percussionists in mind. https://www.fulcrumpercussionservices.com.au/blog/common-fulcrum-fixes monthly 0.5 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/657bfafc28a46a3fc4164020/d0b89cc7-5891-4d58-898f-6433be4cb319/1+Before.jpg Blog - Common Fulcrum Fixes - Orff metallophone frame with bent pins and disintegrated dampening cord.
