This mallet was designed to fit the needs of world renowned percussionist Markus Rhoten. Here's what the man himself has to say about these mallets "I use this mallet for every pp to mf roll I encounter. It is slightly lighter than the MR20B or MR24B, but has an even and soft felt feeling to it. However, it also has a clear sound that works perfectly to underline a pizzicato -- for example on the 3rd movement of Mahler's First Symphony".Get your Malletech MR22B Markus Rhoten Green Timpani Mallets today at the guaranteed lowest price from Sam Ash Direct with our 45-day return and 60-day price protection policy.
