Vic Firth Corpsmaster MB2H Marching Bass Mallets
When to choose it
For a marching bass drum part, start with your drum diameter and the head grade your line uses. Vic Firth specifies the hard felt MB2H for 22- to 26-inch bass drums. A player on a 24-inch drum can use that range to narrow the choice before comparing softer models.
The head is the medium size in this family and the felt is hard. Keep those two properties separate when reading a part or matching equipment with another player. The 14¼-inch mallet has a tapered hickory handle. Choose a hand-held marching mallet for this role. A kick-pedal beater uses a different mount.
