This signature model multi-percussion mallet was designed to the specifications of James Campbell, Professor of Music and Director of Percussion Studies at the University of Kentucky, and Principal Percussionist with the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra. Jim's sticks are specifically designed for multiple percussion and percussion ensemble works, where a single implement must be used on an assortment of percussion instruments. Constructed of heartwood hickory, these sticks feature our unique and innovative "fulcrum notch" creating a drumstick-like feel and balance. Both models feature cores of wood and latex, covered in a high quality chamois.
