It is important to care for your sticks. How well they are cared for will affect the tone of the timpani you use them on!

Caring for your sticks - Tip #1

Keep your timpani mallets in the plastic bags they came in, or other plastic bags. Only the felt part needs to be covered. This will help to keep the felt from getting worn out and messed up.
