BDF1 Carbon Fiber Shaft Dual Sided Head Bass Drum Mallets sold in pairs
$74.00
The iconic BDF1 is known as the Mahler 3 beaters. All of my products have been developed by necessity from playing in the orchestra and making something that fit a certain need. However, this one was initially developed in 1988 just for playing the Mahler 3 excerpts in auditions. As it turned out, it also worked great in reality with the orchestra! Below are photos of the first generations of this model.
BDFH – Carbon Fiber Shaft Hard Felt Bass Drum Mallets (sold in pairs)
$72.00
The BDFH model is the same shaft and core as the other models in the fiberglass series but covered with a thin hard purple felt.
BDFG – Carbon Fiber Shaft General Felt Bass Drum Mallets (sold in pairs)
$72.00
This new model is based on the same design as the BDF1 yet still lighter than the standard BD4 wood shaft model. It’s perfect for players that prefer traditional grip when playing with pairs.
BDFR – Carbon Fiber Shaft Bass Drum Rollers (sold in pairs)
$72.00
Same head size as the BDF1 and BDFG models with a new improved synthetic fur covering of much higher quality than ever before.
BDDR – Carbon Fiber Shaft Double Headed One Hand Roller (one mallet)
$60.00
The BDDR model is my double headed one hand bass drum roller. This is a necessity for those pieces and of course for any situation where you have a "limited" percussion section and have to multi task.
BDF7 – Carbon Fiber Shaft Large Disc Core Bass Drum Rollers (sold in pairs)
$74.00
The BDF7 has now been reinvented with a new fiberglass shaft, new thicker/softer base felt and a new synthetic wool covering with a faux suede backing.
BD2R – Small Head Chamois Bass Drum Mallets Rosewood Shafts (sold in pairs US sales only)
$68.00The BD2 has also been around for a long time now and has proven itself. It has a slight taper in the fulcrum to make it easier to handle which gives it a much more refined balance and feel.
BD4R – Large Head General Bass Drum Mallet Rosewood Shaft (single mallet US sales only)
$52.00
The BD4 has been one of our long time “go to” general mallets in The Cleveland Orchestra for many years now. Select Limited Edition Rosewood shaft with solid maple ball and weighted insert inside the head.
BD5R – Extra Large Head Soft Bass Drum Mallet Rosewood Shaft (single mallet US sales only)
$55.00
The BD5 is the super sized version of the BD4 with a head diameter of 80mm and thin soft German felt covering. Best description for the sound of this mallet is BIG, fat, warm and boomy.
BD3H – Large Head Chamois Bass Drum Mallet Hickory Shaft (single mallet)
$52.00
The BD3 is the ultimate hard staccato bass drum mallet. Strong, cutting and powerful enough for the largest orchestra.
BD8 – Nylon Core with Dual Hard Green Felt and Soft German Felt
$66.00
The BD8 continues to be a best seller because of its versatility. The only double ended mallet in the line, it features identical cores on each end with a hard green felt on one end and soft German felt on the other.
