The percussion ensemble at my university is doing Marimba Spiritual for our spring concert. I'm the lucky dude who gets to play the marimba part. I'm having difficulty finding mallets I like for the fast section. Safri Duo did a recording using what I believe are some sort of latex mallets. I've tried various yarn mallets, none of them have the attack I'd like, cord seems to be too plunky. My big concern is the weight of latex/rubber mallets. I need some serious mass behind whatever mallets I use to get a good sound from my marimba (5.0 DeMorrow) Some experimenting still needs to be done in the performance hall as well, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
