“The older I get, the more demanding I am to find the ideal sound to express my music,” states Ney. “At this point of my life, I felt a need to have an entire line of mallets that would help me to sound great on any mallet instrument. Vic Firth was the perfect choice for me as they are number 1 in the world for products and in education.”
Ney Rosauro designed this special series of marimba and vibraphone mallets to reflect the sound he desires for his award winning compositions. “My new mallet series and snare drum stick are a dream come true! The marimba and vibe mallets series have a unique rich and full sound.” continues Ney. “And we have created a unique new concept with mallets that we call “Hybrid” – a powerful mallets that sound equally well in any range of the marimba, vibes or xylophone.”
Rattan shafts and rubber cores coupled with special yarn and cord choices assure the player of a pure and natural sound that projects the full capabilities of the instrument.
