Whats the best Bass Mallet brand?? <P>------------------<BR>Aaron Yingling<BR>Montour High School Drumline<BR>Bass #1

They all break, therefore they are all equal in the eyes of the rim/jamblock. Yeah.<P>------------------<BR>Bass Drum<BR>Iowa State Drumline<BR>http://www.music.iastate.edu/org/drumline<BR>(No, I'm not the same guy as Hostage.....I'm better looking ;))

I'm sorry.I didn't know any brand other than American Drum existed.lol.

i HOPE you're joking about the american drum mallet thing... once again, VIC FIRTH is the best... promarks heads get all distorted after about 2.45 seconds of playing... STICK W/ VIC

Nah, the promark heads are much more dense than vic-firths (as in, incredibly so the first time you play on them). The one thing I havent liked is that in their newer mallets they've just glued the bead on instead of bolting through it.<P>------------------<BR>Bass drum<BR>Iowa State University<BR>http://www.music.iastate.edu/org/drumline<BR>http://www.stuorg.iastate.edu/groove/home.html

that's one of many things i don't like about promark... they always seem to take shortcuts on quality when it comes to their americorps line

I'm a big fan of the americorps platinum's we get.<P>------------------<BR>Bass drum<BR>Iowa State University<BR>http://www.music.iastate.edu/org/drumline<BR>http://www.stuorg.iastate.edu/groove/home.html

No,I am not joking.That's all we used and I didn't know of any other bass drum mallet brand.What makes Vic Firth better than American Drum?

i don't know american drum that well, but i'd say simply the fact that vf rules...

i agree with sdsusnare. vf is the best. actually that's all i've used. but i've never broken a pair of bass drum malets, so they must be pretty good. and they sound nice as well
