One end gives you the familiar attack and definition of a Fusion-style wood tip stick, while the other gives you a hard felt mallet head for cymbal swells, tom colours, suspended cymbal rolls, timpani-style effects and softer percussion textures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is the sort of stick that is especially useful when you need to move quickly between sounds without putting one pair down and picking another pair up.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat Do They Actually Sound Like?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe stick end gives you a clear, bright and focused attack, especially on cymbals. The round wood tip keeps the sound articulate without being too heavy or clumsy, so it still feels natural for drum kit playing, theatre work and general percussion parts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlip it around and the hard felt mallet end gives you a warmer, smoother sound. It is not a big soft orchestral mallet, so do not expect huge fluffy cymbal rolls. It is more compact and controlled than that — great for quick swells, cymbal colour, tom builds, suspended cymbal parts and places where you need a mallet sound without changing tools.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe smaller mallet head is also designed so it does not get in the way of your grip when you are using the stick end, which is important.
