When I played it, I used Eric's sticking. I have seen people use the #1 mallet for the emphasized beat of every measure, i.e. 122122 12212 122122 1221222 except for the second group of two in the 7/8 bars. Evelyn Glennie suggested that I try to alternate using #2 and #3, i.e. 232323 23232 323232 3232323, (or 323232 32323, etc.) until the right hand comes in. This is a little weird, there's a couple of stick crossings, but it works really well for a powerful opening statement. I chose my sticking because it was the most consistent for me, and also because whatever color I was getting from the mallets due to using a graduated set remained constant throughout the ostinato. If I remember correctly, I think I used med, med-hard, med-hard, and hard for 1, 2, 3, 4, Black Swamp Inaki Sebastian mallets.
Hope this helps.
