PromarkATH2 Felt Tom Mallets Hickory Handle 1 in. Covered Felt Head
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Covered felt tom mallets with a 1 in. head on hickory handles. For soft mallet rolls and low, boomy tom tones on the kit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swelling tom and floor tom rolls in ballads
- Cymbal swells that need no stick attack
- Deep, round tom tone on a recording
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Regular kit playing, which needs sticks
- Sharp attack and articulation, which felt removes
- Loud rock volume, where felt gets buried
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
1 in. head
Small enough to play toms cleanly without a wide, diffuse contact patch. Keeps some definition in the note.
Detail 03
Hickory handle
Stiff and dense, so the rebound feels closer to a drum stick than a soft-shafted orchestral mallet.
Detail 04
Felt instead of wood tip
Removes the attack transient. You hear the drum's low fundamental rather than the hit.
Detail 05
Red color
Cosmetic only. Does not affect sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A pair, not a set with sticks
- 02Felt heads wear out on rims and hardware, so aim for the head
- 03You will still want sticks in reach for the same song
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on cymbals?
Yes. Felt mallets are a standard way to build a cymbal swell with no stick attack. Roll on the bow, not the edge.
02How do these differ from timpani mallets?
The hickory handle is stiffer than most timpani mallet shafts, and the 1 in. head is small. Built for kit toms rather than timpani range.
03Will these damage my drum heads?
No. Felt is softer than a wood stick tip and puts less wear on a head.
04Do these work on a marching bass drum?
They are cut for toms. Marching bass mallets are larger and heavier for that drum and carrier position.
