Field tested and field proven, the superior designs of the Corpsmaster line developed throughout years of collaboration with the world's finest drum and bugle corps. Each season since the products were introduced, Corpsmaster sticks and mallets have remained the most popular choice among the top high school bands, indoor percussion ensembles and DCI Championship corps. The marching bass mallets feature tapered hickory shafts, which shift the weight of the stick towards the hand for improved balance and control. Spherical super hard felt heads provide a consistent striking surface.
