Vic Firth Becken Suspended Cymbal Mallets
When to choose it
Choose the Becken pair when a suspended cymbal part calls for a long crescendo with a softer contact. The large yarn heads suit gradual rolls. Compare the response with a harder cymbal mallet if a rhythmic entrance needs a more distinct beginning.
The 15½-inch maple handles give you a reach measurement for a two-handed roll. The selected model supplies a pair. Match BCS1 when comparing with Vic Firth’s BSC1, which is a different, medium-hard cymbal mallet despite the similar letters.
