I am working on Paul Bissell's "The Butterfly". For those unfamiliar with the piece it stays in the upper register of the marimba quite a bit, and is VERY fast.(check out gofishmusic.com for audio of the entire piece) I obviousley need articulation, so I know I need something hard. I have a pair of Malletech Michale Burrit 18 mallets which are very nice, but prett heavy. Should I just complete the Michael Burrit set, or should I go with something that is hard but more lightweight?

My preference is Malletech. I like birch, unlacquered shafts. Please advise!!
