The Elgar Enigma Variations Core mallet (Enigma Core) is specially designed to satisfy several requested effects by conductors as well as the sound of snare drum sticks requested in the part. Using two English coins to roll on the timpani, or placing coins on the head while rolling are two frequently requested techniques requested by conductors aside from using snare drum sticks as requested in the part by the composer. The DS1-Enigma Core is constructed of a thin steel washer (don’t worry, it won’t hurt your heads at these volumes) stacked with felt washers on top and bottom and felt on the other side. You can play either a very closed roll or very open roll with the metal side to simulate the coin effects, and then simply rotate the mallets in the hand to play on the felt side. Also a very useful stick for multiple percussion applications.
Hickory shaft with two toned soft/hard double sided covering over new felt core. The DS2 is a timpani mallet based on the extremely popular 1A (Mahler III) bass drum mallets. It uses the same Freer-designed double seam method on a 1.5” felt core, with hard green felt on one side and very soft white German felt on the other. These sticks have become a real necessity for many timpanists, useful for a multitude of pieces requiring fast switches. Sound ranges from general to medium hard.
Hickory shaft with two toned general/extra hard double sided covering over felt core. The DS3 uses the same Freer-designed double seam method used on other models with a thinner felt core than the DS2 but at the same diameter (1.5”) extremely hard thin felt on one side and medium-hard German felt on the other. Sound ranges from hard general to extremely hard.
Bamboo shaft two toned maple core double sided mallet. Wood disc core with felt on one side. Identical to DS4 Hickory only with bamboo shaft. Same as DS4B but permanently mounted on a bamboo shaft. They are perfect for the Carter March, Don Juan, Enigma Variations and any other piece where a quick change between a general stick and wood is required.
Hickory shaft two toned maple core double sided mallet. Wood disc core with felt on one side. Using the same hickory shaft as the other Freer models, the DS4s are far easier to use than flip sticks that require you to flip to the opposite end of each shaft. They are perfect for the Carter March, Don Juan, Enigma Variations and any other piece where a quick change between a general stick and wood is required.
Fiberglass shafts with wood core and very hard woven felt covering with maraca beads in shaft. The Freer Maraca Stick has shaft made of fiberglass for better sound, better balance, and more maraca sound than other maraca sticks on the market. This is the only maraca mallet that actually gets some rebound off of the head and gives an equal ratio of timpani and maraca sound. A thin rubber grip gives you great control, and a very special type of bead on the inside of the mallet gives a much stronger maraca sound similar to that of an egg shaker. For West Side Story, or Raise The Roof, or any other piece where you want an excellent maraca AND timpani sound—these are what you are looking for.
Bamboo shaft extra hard staccato wood core with hard felt. The Freer US1B has a new wood core for better surface contact and more consistent sound. The small-ball core shape, hard-felt covering, and high-quality bamboo shaft give you a staccato mallet with a full yet tight and clean sound.
Hickory shaft , convex felt core extra hard staccato mallet. The hickory shaft on the original Freer US2 has been slightly beefed up in the neck and handle areas for less vibration, higher pitch, slightly increased weight, and better balance. The edges of the felt core are now more rounded providing better surface contact and a more consistent sound. An extreme version of a Cloyd Duff #2, the hard-felt core and covering of the Freer US2 make it a great rhythm stick for Beethoven, Bartok, Stravinsky, or any other music where you want an articulate and clean sound.
Hornwood extra hard staccato. Identical core, covering and design to the US2H in every way except with a heavier hornwood shaft. Slightly heavier and darker sound than the US2H.
Bamboo rollers with ball covering. With a totally new core and covering that gives you even less contact sound, even less stroke sound, and even more fundamental than earlier versions of this model. They are best for solo rolls of any kind, at any volume—a perfect stick for the Bartok 2nd piano concerto, any Sibelius, and of course the Brahms 1st piano concerto. The specially designed core and covering system makes this stick extremely soft yet clean sounding without slap or contact noise. It always sounds legato and strokeless and smooth.

The Jonathon Haas General Purpose Timpani Mallets have the weight to play loud, the softness to play soft, and the balance needed to control speed and accuracy of the mallets.
The Jonathon Haas Oversize General Timpani Mallets are larger than the normal general purpose mallets, which are needed for that extra volume to bring the orchestra in, and the house down.
