These are Monkey Mallets Drivers. Medium soft foam plastic practice golf balls on a tapered timpani mallet shaft make these great mallets for practicing timp, or extending your sound palette. These mallets are light, the shafts are nicely tapered, and in the end, they are unique and fun to play with no matter your level of accomplishment or study. As with most models in the Monkey Mallets line, the teachers, parents, spouses, siblings, neighbors and pets of budding or professional percussionists will appreciate the Monkey Mallets focus on getting the level of sound you need for practice, warmups, or performance without playing over that goal. These are, as the pictures show, with Orange mallet heads. Purple mallet head are available on another similar listing.  Thanks for looking!  David at Monkey Mallets
