Vic Firth Balter BCM3 Large Chime Mallet (Maple)

Vic Firth's Balter BCM3 Large Chime Mallet sits within the Balter Basics range, designed by master percussionist Ney Rosauro for articulate, controlled tone on chimes and keyboard percussion. The maple shaft and head construction delivers a warm, focused attack with excellent response across the full frequency range of concert chimes, making it the go–to choice for session and gigging musicians who need reliability and sonic clarity.

The large head dimensions provide sufficient mass to generate projection without harsh overtones, while the maple material naturally dampens high–frequency harshness. This mallet works equally well in orchestral settings, wind ensemble work, and studio sessions where precision matters. The shaft's weight distribution ensures comfortable grip during extended playing, and the construction tolerates repeated impacts without delamination or head splitting—critical for players logging hours in rehearsal and performance.
