BR-CW – Chad Wackerman Paintbrush

The BR-CW Chad Wackerman Paintbrush provides the player with a number of different choices of timbre colors.  Built on a red hickory wooden handle, this retractable medium gauge wire brush features a soft rubber sleeve near the brush fan and a strip of felt surrounding the butt end.  The pull rod of the BR-CW also includes a nylon tip allowing for defined articulation on cymbals.  These various features allow the player to create a greater number of sounds without having to change to other striking implements including cross stick, cymbal swells, and ride patterns.  All these colors are achieved while maintaining a solid, comfortable, balanced feel making the BR-CW Paintbrush the most unique brush available.

KDB-1 Chris McHugh Kick Drum Beater

The KDB-1 Chris McHugh is a uniquely designed bass drum beater and truly one of a kind.  The solid core gives an extreme enhancement of low-end frequencies.  The yarn wrap, while not only aesthetically unique, cuts down attack & high-end frequencies, producing the lowest tone possible on a bass drum.

PEDRO CARNEIRO SERIES

The Pedro Carneiro series marimba mallets are built with heavy synthetic cores specific to each model and its intended sound.  Wrapped with 100% un-dyed natural wool, each mallet provides enhanced fundamental tone across all registers of the marimba.  Models 1 through 4 are built on premium oversized rattan handles, while the ground breaking Tri-tone mallet is built with ramin handles for less vibration.  Additionally, the PC-TT Tri-tone mallet features three unique playing zones which allows the player to produce a variety of colors while using one implement.

PC2: Heavy/Soft/Bass - Slightly more focused than the PC1; works well in lower half of marimba

PC3: General/Medium Soft - Covers all registers of instrument with tremendous warmth and clarity

PC4: Medium - This versatile mallet is slightly brighter than the PC3 and able to project across large ensembles

SANDI RENNICK SERIES - IP4002.5

New to the Sandi Rennick Series is the IP4002.5 Medium Hard marimba mallet. This series of mallets is constructed with smaller, uniquely weighted cores which produce a more focused sound and puts more weight in the player’s hands.  This allows for the sound to speak very quickly and works very well with an amplified keyboard section.  The Sandi Rennick Series models are constructed on birch handles with a matte finish and are wrapped with a synthetic yarn durable enough to withstand the environmental conditions of the marching idiom.
