Vic Firth Corpsmaster Tenor Mallets - Silver Extra-Heavy Aluminum Shaft - MT1AS
Vic Firth Corpsmaster Tenor Mallets – Silver Extra-Heavy Aluminum Shaft – MT1AS
The Vic Firth MT1AS Corpsmaster pairs a curved nylon head with an extra–heavy gauge aluminum shaft, built for the ultra–staccato attack multi–tenor players need to cut through a full drumline. The heavier shaft adds power and durability over the standard aluminum model, and textured “anti–buzz” rubber grips cut down on vibration in the hand.
These are built for tenor drummers who want a harder–hitting, more durable mallet without giving up the crisp articulation nylon heads are known for. The extra weight adds projection on accents and rim shots while staying controllable through fast passages.
