I am the mallet instructor of an indoor drumline. We use synthtic bar marimbas and xylophones. We have a problem with using out hard cord mallets. They seem to only last a few playing hours (they're really banging away at some parts). We currently use Mike Balter Yellow cord (hard). But we can't buy new mallets after each competetion. Any suggestions for some hard cord mallets that are durable?
Thanks

Go with some Innovatives. We used the Jim Casellas for our indoor line.
