Vic Firth Corpsmaster MB2S Soft Marching Bass Mallets
When to choose it
Choose the MB2S if your marching bass drum is within the maker’s 22- to 26-inch range and your line needs soft felt. It shares the medium head size and 14¼-inch length of the MB2H. Compare the two on the same drum if head hardness is the detail you want to change.
The medium designation refers to head size in this family. The S identifies the soft version. Check the sound your part requires, especially when a line uses different models across several drum sizes. For a smaller drum, check the documented range of a small-head model.
