Vic FirthSoundpower Bass Drum Mallets Staccato
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Concert bass drum mallets from Vic Firth's Soundpower line, in the staccato weight. For orchestral and wind ensemble players who need articulate, dry attacks.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marked rhythmic bass drum parts in wind ensemble
- Orchestral passages needing clear articulation over rumble
- Concert percussion sections building a mallet quiver
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players. These are not kick pedal beaters.
- Sustained rolls and long swells, which want a rounder mallet
- Anyone needing one all-purpose mallet for every part
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
Concert bass drum mallet
Large head and long handle for a 32-inch-and-up drum. Nothing about it suits a kit.
Detail 03
Soundpower line
Vic Firth's concert bass drum series, so the handle feel stays consistent as you add other weights.
Detail 04
Single fixed weight
One articulation, not a range. Programs with both marked and rolled parts need a second, softer pair.
Detail 05
$59.99
Concert mallet pricing, well above drum sticks. Reflects the size and construction, not a set of extras.

Know before you order
- 01Mallets only. No bag, case, or stand included.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does staccato mean on a bass drum mallet?
A firmer head that produces a short, defined attack. Good for marked rhythmic parts, less suited to sustained rolls and swells.
02Can I use these as a kick drum beater?
No. These are hand-held concert bass drum mallets, not pedal beaters, and will not mount to a bass drum pedal.
03Do I need two for rolls?
Yes. Rolling on a concert bass drum requires a matched pair, so verify the quantity before ordering.
04What size bass drum are these for?
Large concert bass drums used in orchestras and wind ensembles. They are oversized for anything smaller.
