Detail 01
General purpose weight
Middle hardness. Enough definition for rhythmic passages, enough warmth for sustained rolls, without excelling at either extreme.

PromarkAutograph Series Jonathan Haas Timpani Mallets JH4 Gerneral Purpose
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
General-purpose timpani mallets from Jonathan Haas's signature line, aimed at the player who needs one pair to cover most of a concert program.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and wind ensemble timpani parts
- A student or college player buying a first serious pair
- Covering most of a program without swapping mallets
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum kit, xylophone or any bar instrument
- Players who need a dedicated staccato or ultra-soft pair
- Anyone already carrying a full graded timpani set
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
Timpani-specific
Built for tuned drumheads. Using them on bar percussion or a kit will damage the heads and the mallets.
Detail 03
Autograph signature series
Spec'd by an orchestral timpanist, so the balance and weight follow concert playing rather than a general product line.
Detail 04
Sold as a pair
Two mallets covers standard parts; four-mallet timpani writing needs a second pair.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A pair, not a set — a full program may still need harder and softer pairs.
- 02Sits above student mallets in price; entry-level rubber mallets are much cheaper.
- 03No mallet bag or case included.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does general purpose mean here?
Medium hardness. It covers the widest range of a typical concert program without being the ideal choice for extreme staccato or very soft passages.
02Can I use these on xylophone or a drum kit?
No. These are timpani mallets. Bar instruments need rubber, yarn or cord mallets, and a kit needs sticks.
03Are these suitable for a student?
Yes, for a student ready to move past starter mallets. They're a step up in price from entry-level classroom mallets.
04How many mallets come in this?
A pair. Four-mallet timpani parts require buying a second pair.
