Innovative Percussion IP4003 Sandi Rennick Signature Hard Yarn Marimba Mallets

This model is meant for aggressive, fast-moving runs and music written with more bite. These are also the most effective mallets for special sounds like bar presses. We would not recommend playing these mallets below middle C on any marimba.

With smaller cores that are weighted unlike any other IP mallets, the Sandi Rennick series mallets produce a focused sound without the immense weight that is typical among front ensemble mallets. Historically, weight was added as the front ensemble grew into its current place in marching bands and drum corps. With the standardization of amplified keyboards, mallets no longer need to be extra-heavy in order to get the instruments' volume louder. All Sandi Rennick models are made with birch shafts with a matte finish, as well as a synthetic yarn developed to withstand the rugged nature of the marching arts.

Sandi Rennick is currently the Front Ensemble Arranger for the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps.
