Many of us come out of the practice room after practicing xylophone or glockenspiel licks with ringing in our ears - a bodily reminder that hearing loss is a very real problem for percussionists (wear ear plugs!!!). At other times, you may have itched to run through a section just one more time, but you know that you would receive angry glares from everybody in the orchestra or band. Those problems are both solved with the OS10 Practice Mallet. It has the same weight and feel as a typical bell mallet, but the rubber gaskets on the head keep the volume very low and virtually eliminate any contact sound. Now you can keep your hearing intact without sticking things in your ears and run through 'that lick' before a performance with no social anxiety. As a final feature, completely unrelated to any practical consideration, they also look pretty cool.
