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.
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.
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.
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.
