Welcome to
DK Percussion! DK Percussion specializes in percussion instrument repair and carbon fiber timpani mallets. |
The "Evolution" Series mallets all feature a 15" long, 9/16", 1/2", or 7/16" diameter and 100% consistent and gorgeous weave carbon fiber shaft with hardwood cores. The superb balance offered by the carbon fiber shafts and wood cores allows the player to create a beautiful tone using any common timpani technique. Carbon fiber is much more consistent than wood, offering easy pitch matching of all mallet pairs and the feeling of bamboo. The design of each mallet produces the richest possible tone on any timpani. All mallets are wrapped tightly, consistently, and neatly to ensure the best sound and feel from each pair of mallets, without the usual "slapping" sound of other oversized mallets. Check out the DIY Timpani mallets page for mallet wrapping instructions and a la carte mallet parts ordering. Custom cores available as well. |
