Ron's Cymbal mallets have been and remain one of the most important mallets many professionals own. The CymM-4's are offered in Birch shafts, CymM-4B, with a Pearl Gray color band, and in Rattan shafts, CymM-4R, with a copper color band.
The balance and weight of the CymM-4's provide almost effortless cymbal rolls with long, even crescendos and decrescendos, with no audible evidence of the players rhythmic roll strokes.
The CymM-4's are also capable of rapid dynamic expressions on cymbals such as szforzandos, and with practice, a superb subito piano. The dense mallet head fabric texture can suppress cymbal vibration
without distortion or choke.
Ron originally developed these mallets in the 1970's while doing a lot of playing in symphonies, on pop and jazz tours, and extensive studio work in the United States and South America. The CymM-4's are voiced/designed for cymbals generally from 14 inches in diameter and larger. For very large cymbals, the CymM-5's are the better choice.
Performance Tip: Both the Cym-4's and CymM-5's are excellent for priming gongs of all sizes, particularly larger gongs and tam tams,
wind gongs, etc.
