Vic Firth T1 General Timpani Mallet

The default orchestral timpani stick

The T1 General is the timpani mallet a player reaches for when the part does not specify: a medium felt head on a wood shaft, in the series Firth designed for his own orchestral work.

    Hickory, maple, and oak sticks by model number; wire and nylon brushes; and the yarn, cord, and felt mallets that concert percussion is played with.

Made by

  • Vic Firth

    Vic Firth was principal timpanist of the Boston Symphony and started making mallets because he could not buy what he wanted. The company he built became the largest drumstick maker in the world, with the pair-matching-by-weight-and-pitch process as its selling point and the American Classic 5A as its default.
