This is a “large roller” that is still easy to roll with and can provide you an absolutely stroke-less roll sound which the orchestra will feel in their seats.  If you’re looking for something that will get the most fundamental deep end out of any size bass drum and create that subwoofer undertone…this is the mallet.  It is also a great mallet for single notes where you want nearly no attack because of the large head.  It produces no point to the sound at all, so for soft single notes it is unbeatable.  Also excellent on small tam tams and medium sized tuned gongs.  Highly recommended for the long soft rolls in Stravinsky Firebird.  You will feel and hear rumble but not hear roll strokes.
