Professional concert percussionists are well aware of what Vic Firth can provide to improve the sound of an orchestra ensemble. For example, just take a look at the Tim Genis Concert Snare Stick. Made with input from the principal timpanist of the legendary Boston Symphony Orchestra, this stick has been crafted from persimmon, which is known for its ability to produce a slightly darker and more full-bodied sound than wood. Durable and powerful, the Tim Genis Concert Snare Stick is everything you'd except from one of the brightest talents in orchestral percussion. Another choice with some impressive cred to back it up is the Gary Burton Yarn Keyboard Mallets. Yarn-wound with rattan handles, these mallets are ideal for any vibraphonist. Plus, they're designed to the exact specifications of Gary Burton, a major figure in American jazz percussion, and educator at the Berklee College of Music.
