MIKE TAMBURO UTILITY MALLETS (MTU)
The MT Utility Mallets feature a super-soft rubber-ball core wrapped in minky purple fleece on a light-weight carbon fiber handle. They’re designed to play just about any percussion instrument, from keyboard percussion to singing bowls, to log drums to gongs. Sold in pairs.
“A real multi-instrumentalist mallet - the player can easily move between drums, metallophones, gongs and other percussion instruments. These have become one of the most important tools in my mallet collection. The flexibility, lightness and soft tone makes them a perfect utility mallet.” Mike T.
