The KG6 model is the hardest mallet in the series. They feature a wood core and billiard felt that provides excellent rhythmic clarity. These mallets sound great for works by Bach and Handel and for more contemporary pieces needing clear articulation. They are also an excellent choice for the Carter March.
 
The Kirk Gay signature timpani mallets by Salyers Percussion feature turned hickory handles and a variety of felt and wood cores to provide excellent clarity and tone through the entire spectrum of dynamics. All six mallets in the series have a distinctly different sound and are expertly weighted and balanced for great feel.
