These Mallets Can Do ANYTHING! (Mike Balter 4R Full Review + Sound Test)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

What is YOUR every-mallet - a pair of mallets that you use for pretty much everything? Let me know in the comments below! P.S. Sorry for the late upload, I couldn't figure out why Premiere wasn't letting me render this video and then I literally changed one setting and it works now. WEIRD! ALSO sorry for the terrible lighting, I'm getting it fixed this week... Thank you for watching 😁 #TheStudioFamily

[@ItsBeastiee]

Adam Tan I'll take those mallets off your hands for you (:

[@Dylan-wc9yt]

Adam Tan did you know that you can get does when you are "onclothing" an 13B (IN BIRCH!!!)

[@avarettig]

Adam Tan definitely Innovative Percussion IP240s! they’re a goldmine

[@gavinlively8151]

Adam Tan uh I found an old pair of mallets in my school's band hall that have the name "Jeff" written on them and I've been using them for about 2 years (and not stopping anytime soon 😂)

[@chloebright8071]

The Jim Casella IP1003 mallets from Innovative Percussion.

[@robbiebremner8019]

the vibraphone and timpani impressions hahaha

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Glad you enjoyed them ;)

[@林楷鈞-p8q]

Congrats for the one year anniversary! Btw I want to see the top 10 percussion ensemble of yours😂

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you man, I'm still thinking of how to make that one...

[@matthewmcconnell3442]

Ooooh Could you do more of the every mallet reviews? Could you also do a sound test on the other instruments you have since they are 'every' mallets, plus it would be cool to see you play other instruments on the channel

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yessss although I don't own many every mallets... I should get more!

[@theunclassicalpercussionis688]

Mike Balter is like the double edged sword of percussion. They make some really great mallets (like these, the 23R, and the Tony Micelli series), but they also make some not super great (but not remarkably terrible) mallets (The original Mike Balter Basics some to mind). Any way, you should take a look at some Promark Mallets. The Promark Dan Fyffe Series & The Performer Series are pretty great, and wont break the bank.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

So true! They are definitely not a brand to be slept on though, some fantastic models in their lineup :) And I will look into that, thanks for suggesting!

[@marinasimmons3553]

Congratulations on one year!!!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thank you Marina! 😀

[@raiden1690]

At my school we have essentially the same thing but it is just a regular BB2 with the yarn off

[@KarlSheen]

There's a maker on ebay that goes by the name of "Jet Percussion" they have a very similar shape/sound rubber mallet in blue. Love the sound of you're "vibraphone" haha! Also had a laugh i have one of those spinners in my stick bag...alleviates boredom during a 400 bar rest hehe!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

DONGGGGGGG I've never seen Jet Percussion, I will check it out! And yes spinners are great for wasting time ahahaha that's why I have 3...

[@drewkreke3123]

Can you do a review on the Gifford Howarth signature mallets

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I've had this request before so will definitely look into it! Thanks for watching :)

[@Svit.S]

anything ;o? Can you play a tuba with them?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

I wouldn't be surprised if you could 😁

[@elliotmadethis]

**tonggg**

[@jonastechmanski1592]

How do these compare to Ron Vaughn Woodblock Mallets? I was going to buy some green rubbers but my lesson teacher said to get the Woodblock Mallets instead

[@DylanBennish]

I have a practice marimba at home, really cheap one, only $1000, it's really articulate. If I got these mallets would it sound like a xylo? That's kinda what I'm researching when it comes to rubber mallets on marimba.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yes it would sound like a xylo except with the rubberised articulation so more soft - I guess it'd be practice mallets on a practice marimba ahahaha

[@abbynywong]

can u please do a review on the resta jay momoko series?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Lol Therese wants to know this too... I'll look into it at PASIC ;)

[@origamidudes102811]

I'm kind of new here so dumb question but did you ever do DCI?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahaha welcome man! I'm from Australia so we don't have DCI over here, would have been nice though :(

[@miipuns6318]

What mallet can do White Knuckle Stroll best?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

To be honest the 4R is not bad but I think I'm underqualified to answer this question LOL...

[@jonastechmanski1592]

Playing it right now and would recommend the IP Field Series Hard or Very Hard Rattan

[@pjm4w]

Anything you say? Thanks, I've been looking forever for a pair of mallets that could make me a sandwich!

[@AdamTanPercussion]

HAHAHA IF ONLY

[@DBLCreations]

I like the sound of these! :-D

[@tabbyteacat]

I think these are the exact ones my school has.

[@albiesnyder412]

I feel ashamed when he said why would anyone get this in birch. I have them in birch

[@AdamTanPercussion]

+Asome7 5527 Hahaha don't be, I just wouldn't get that myself but that doesn't mean you're wrong! If it works for you why not ☺️

[@Sleed27]

How about a top10 accompany marimba piece.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Good idea! :)

[@jerrylee9456]

我最近在排uneven souls，突然发现playwood 的 m05特别适合做万能槌，敲什么都可以，甚至可以拿来大锣滚奏😂

[@theglockenspiel]

Innovative percussion f2. Marimba, vibes, woodblock

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ah yessss that's a good every mallet for sure :)

[@kobelester]

Can they pay for my youth orchestra tuition?

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Kobe Lester YES no not really I wish 😥

[@smoke_stacks]

I'm confused why you would say that you would always want the mallets in rattan? As a birch boy when I heard that I jumped.

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Ahahaha I like birch too, but I think because they are small mallets that you'd normally want to play fast with the rebound helps :)

[@applejuiceleigh6638]

pretty gucci dood

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Thanks my dooddddd

[@benrolfe8490]

Not gonna lie I unintentionally stole my school's resident pair of these and I've found they're the best I've got for multi perc stuff! I don't feel bad beating on em because there's no yarn, but mine are birch, not rattan (did I say mine? I meant the school's, which I intend to return, eventually...... 😅)

[@AdamTanPercussion]

HAHAHA who needs to return things right 😁

[@kamilhuseynzade8416]

l am from Azerbayjan l love marim😍😍😍😍😍

[@AdamTanPercussion]

That's awesome man! I love it too :)

[@hanxia6087]

smooth ends make friends😂

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Yesssssssss

[@benrolfe8490]

Wait a sec that's not a wood block 🤔🤔

[@AdamTanPercussion]

HAHA what are you talking about it totally is

[@calebgo17]

Doionh

[@AndreHance]

Bruh I've been subbed since 1k . I really considered unsubbing cuase of the figdet spinners. Never do that again man

[@AndreHance]

Then I thought the Shrek meme made up for it. Until Sunday said fidget spinner again at 2:47

[@AdamTanPercussion]

Hahahahahaha I'm so sorry... 😅

[@afrohealing7446]

It was hard for me to take you serious too many side effects very annoying

[@jameswalker210]

Marimba dances was rushed

[@c_farther5208]

There was a human voice, obviously some kind of flaky humor, and I wanted to hear the mallet on the glockenspiel. You say nothing, you don't think any of us can figure out what an unwound mallet is all about? I wanted to listen to a mallet on instruments. I'm sorry, you probably do know what you are talking about but you're not educating me or showing me anything new.
