“What are the best mallets to use?”

There are too many variables involved to answer this question in this sort of a format. What is your budget? Which instrument are you playing? What kind of music are you playing? Are you recording in a studio, playing in the school band, or giving your Senior Recital in a 750-seat concert hall?

There are many fine mallet manufacturers out there, including Mike Balter, Malletech, Innovative Percussion, Vic Firth, Encore, Marimba One, and Deschler, among others.
