ABSTRACT:
An improved percussion mallet for musical instruments is described. The percussion mallet includes a shaft member, a tubular rubber shock absorber mounted on the head end of the shaft member, a wooden disc surrounding the shock absorber, and a rubber band secured to the outer surface of the wooden disc. These elements combine to produce a cleaner standard tone upon striking a musical instrument. In addition, the rubber band has three outer surfaces which enable the improved percussion to make either a forte or piano sound, depending upon the angle of the mallet as it impacts a musical instrument.
