Detail 01
Re-cover kit, not mallets
You get the felt covering only. The wood cores and shafts have to come from mallets you already own.

Vic FirthRe-Cover Kit For T3 Staccato Timpani Mallet (Pair)
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement felt covers for a pair of Vic Firth T3 Staccato timpani mallets. For players whose cores are still sound but whose felt has worn through.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Timpanists rehabbing worn T3 mallets instead of buying new pairs
- Percussion sections maintaining a rotation of staccato sticks
- Schools stretching a mallet budget across many players
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing playable mallets today — cores are not included
- Players uncomfortable stripping, wrapping and stitching felt by hand
- Owners of other Vic Firth timpani models — this is T3-specific
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
T3 Staccato profile
Cut for the small, hard T3 head. Fitting it to a larger general or legato core will not seat correctly.
Detail 03
Sold as a pair
Covers both mallets in one order, so the pair stays matched in feel and articulation.
Detail 04
Staccato voicing
Staccato heads are the hardest in a timpani set — the felt is thin and wears through fastest, which is why kits exist.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mallets, cores and shafts are not included — this is covering material only
- 02Confirm your mallets are T3 Staccato before ordering; profiles are not interchangeable
- 03Budget time for the re-wrap; a rushed job changes attack and balance
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with the mallets?
No. It is the felt covering for a pair of T3 Staccato mallets. You supply the existing mallets and re-cover the cores yourself.
02Will these fit my other Vic Firth timpani mallets?
They are cut for the T3 Staccato head. Other models in the line use different core sizes and shapes, so the fit will not be right.
03How many mallets does one kit cover?
Two — it is sold as a pair, so both sticks in a matched set get done at once.
04Why re-cover instead of buying new mallets?
The cores and shafts outlast the felt. If those are still straight and solid, replacing just the covering restores the mallet for a fraction of a new pair.
