Vic FirthTG01 General Bass Drum Mallets TG02 Legato
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bass drum mallet pair for concert percussion. For orchestral and wind-ensemble players who need a general-purpose stick plus a softer legato option.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band or orchestra percussionists covering a full program
- Players who need one general and one softer sustained sound
- School percussionists building a first concert mallet kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drum set players — these are not for a kick pedal
- Marching bass lines, which use different mallet designs
- Anyone needing a single specific hardness only
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
Legato mallet
Softer strike, less front-end click. Built for sustained rolls and long tones where attack should disappear.
Detail 03
Two different models together
Covers both articulate passages and sustained rolls without stopping mid-piece to swap mallet types.
Detail 04
Hand-held bass drum mallets
Meant for a concert bass drum on a stand, struck by hand — not pedal-driven kick beaters.
Detail 05
Vic Firth
Standard-issue brand in school and university percussion cabinets, so replacements match what you already own.

- 03Roll passages usually want a matched pair of the same model
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on a drum set kick drum?
No. These are hand-held concert bass drum mallets. A kick drum uses a pedal-mounted beater, which is a different part entirely.
02What is the difference between general and legato?
General gives a defined attack for articulate rhythmic passages. Legato is softer and rounder, made for sustained rolls where you want tone without a hard front edge.
03Is this one mallet or two?
It covers two models, a general and a legato, so you have both articulation options on hand.
04Will these work for marching bass drum?
No. Marching bass lines use their own mallet designs for tenor-style bass drums. These are for a concert bass drum.
