Gearank Recommendation
The Promark MT3 appeared on our recommended list for Drum Sticks from October 2017 until August 2022 when they had been out-ranked by other mallets.
Overview
Promark’s MT3 Multi-Purpose Felt Mallets are made from Shira Kashi Oak, which are roughly 10% heavier than hickory.
This increase in weight creates a greater volume and a darker tone, which depending on what you’re looking for, could be a huge asset.
Another cool thing about these mallets is that they have a gradual taper, where you feel more weight the farther your hands are down the mallets. This means that the sticks have a very “front-heavy” feel, which facilitates fast motions.
While these mallets are said to be great on timpani and concert toms, they’re also ideal mallets for cymbal swells.
