A longtime standard for educators worldwide due to their exceptional quality and versatility, the Mike Balter Basics percussion mallets are a perfect all-around solution for any percussion situation, offered at an affordable price. These bell and xylophone mallets all feature moderately thicker black birch handles for more control and durability, making them ideal for newer players, plus differing heads depending on your instrument and preferences. Poly and PVC heads work well for both xylophone and bells, while the brass head option is specialized to get a bright, sharp sound out of your bells.
