They are Vic Firth M154, rubber mallets made for marimba. Malletech makes similar mallets. Encore make slightly different sounding mallets made of latex, those are also nice. There’s another recording of Nagoya on TH-cam where they use Resta-Jay rubber mallets. I’ve never used them but I like the sound in their video so I may try to find some if I can.
Much good, very nice.
Lovely work on this classic !
Great performance and video! Congrats!
Good playing. Are the sticks harder than ordinary marimba sticks?
