sarnia sam Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Whoa! What's she playing those Timbales with? Those are Ludwig tenor mallets with felt heads, they came with wood heads too. Standard operating procedure was to pull off the plastic grip, cut off the bottom end of the shaft (they were metal) at the nurly part, put the plastic grip back on. They were the standard tenor mallet of the late 70s. In Oaklands we figured out that if the felt was soaked in varathane for many hours, then cured for a day, as we used them the head would get harder, eventually like glass. Slingerland had the same kind of mallet, had red grips (Ludwig was black), but the felt came apart real quick, and the metal was inferior, would bend too easy.

Regards, John Yeah, I had said they were McCormick mallets in an earlier post, but thinking back I now recall that Ludwig bought out the McCormick design at some point. Same mallet, different company logo. They came with those little slugs that you could slide up and down the shaft and tighten into place to change the weighting (hence the name "adjusta-balance"). as I recall, everyone pretty much threw those things away, either that or they would go flying out during use and get lost. regards, Fred O.
