MT Double-Ended Mallet by Mike Tamburo

Product Description

The MT Double-Ended Mallet features two distinct yet perfectly balanced rubber cores on either end of a durable carbon fiber handle. One side sports a ball-shaped core wrapped in thick felt and plush purple minky fleece, while the other side offers an egg-shaped core wrapped in soft felt, foam, and Sherpa fleece — a vibrant purple variant of the beloved BabyBucket mallet.

This innovative double-ended design allows for versatile playing styles. Use either head independently or combine both for unique techniques such as single-handed rolls and the signature Sasquatch scratch. Lightweight and balanced, it invites creative exploration and dynamic performance.

“A double sided mallet for your playing adventures. Use either mallet head on its own or use both heads together. Light, balanced and ready for multiple explorations - such as the single handed roll and the Sasquatch scratch.”
