Detail 01
Cartwheel-style head
The core sits like a disc around the shaft, so the striking surface stays consistent no matter what angle you hit.

Innovative PercussionConcert Bass Drum Mallet Cb-5 (Cartwheel Style - Pair)
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A matched pair of concert bass drum mallets with cartwheel-style heads, for orchestral and wind ensemble players who need even rolls on a large drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Sustained rolls on a concert bass drum in orchestra or band
- Percussionists who need two matched mallets for two-handed work
- A section's first dedicated concert bass drum pair
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set kick work — these are hand-held mallets, not beaters
- Timpani, marimba, or snare; the weight is wrong
- Players who only want a single mallet for accents
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Sold as a pair
Two mallets built to match, so a two-handed roll sounds even instead of one side reading brighter.
Detail 03
Concert bass drum mallet
Sized and weighted for a large head. Too heavy and too soft to be useful on snare, toms, or a kit.
Detail 04
Mallet, not a pedal beater
Made for playing a suspended or tilted concert bass drum by hand. It will not mount to a kick pedal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mallets only — no bag, no stand, no drum
- 02Heads compress with heavy use; heavy players replace them periodically
- 03A separate single mallet is still useful for hard accented notes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one mallet or two?
Two. It ships as a pair, which is what you need for rolls.
02Can I use these on a drum set kick drum?
No. These are hand-held concert bass drum mallets and do not attach to a pedal.
03What does cartwheel style mean?
The head is built as a disc around the shaft rather than a ball on the end, which keeps the contact surface even across strokes.
04Will these work for timpani?
No. Timpani need their own mallets; these are weighted for a much larger, lower drum.
