Mallets

A good place to get better mallets is PanYard.

PanYard has a website called Http://www.panyard.com

They are located in Ohio.

For mallets I recommend the classic.

Click Here for a link to the mallets.

Starting from the left are the mallets for the Lead/Tenor player (1st row).

I actually prefer the 2nd pair of mallets for 1st and 2nds.

If you want to get mallets for 3rd part then you should get the 4th pair of mallets in the picture.

You DO NOT have to purchase these to succeed in class. I have sticks you can use.

This is only a good purchase if you want a little better sound from your drum or you plan on

taking more than 1 year of steel drums. Wood mallets that we use in class are just fine.
