OrB-X are percussion mallets built for drummers. The Orb-X45W has a 45mm white mallet head on a black maple drum stick.
Timpani mallets too often are destroyed on cymbals, and felt mallets can be hard and heavy, making it difficult to articulate intricate patterns. The Orb-X mallet head weighs less than a gram and comes in 3 diameters: 25mm, 35mm and 45mm (in white or black). The smaller sizes compress more and so have a softer sound. The larger sizes compress less and have more contact sound.
They all sound great on drums, cymbals, congas, and bongos. Because they are so light, drummers can play rhythmic patterns that were not practical with standard timpani mallets. These are great for Orff instruments as well.
Dimensions (L x W x H): 450 x 10 x 10 mm
