IMPROVED! Long hickory shaft with extra large double sided wood disc head. A new double thick liner felt is now used on the white/soft side to create a greater difference and contrast in sound from the harder green side. The Freer 50/50 DS Tam Tam Beater uses Freer Double-Seam technology to give you a two-surface mallet head. It has hard green German felt on one side of the head and soft white German felt on the other side. The long hickory handle and the heavy head make this a very unique and versatile beater for all tam tams larger than 26” in diameter. This is the choice for players who are looking for the one beater that will be their daily “go to” mallet. It’s built to last a lifetime.
