Meinl Mallets and Percussion Sticks — Beyond the Standard Drumstick

Not every percussion instrument needs a standard drumstick.

Into Music Store stocks the full Meinl Stick & Brush mallets and percussion range with UK next day delivery available.

Meinl Drumset Mallets

Frequently Asked Questions

Meinl drumset mallets are used to produce soft, rounded attacks on cymbals, gongs, and drums — ideal for cymbal swells, gong rolls, and textural playing where a standard drumstick would produce too sharp an attack. Available in Super Soft, Medium, and Hard versions. UK next day delivery available at Into Music Store.
Meinl timbale sticks are available in diameters from 5/16" to 1/2". Thinner sticks (5/16" and 3/8") are faster and better suited to intricate patterns, while thicker sticks (7/16" and 1/2") produce more volume and a fuller attack. The right choice depends on your playing style and musical context. Call us on 01507 526517 for a personalised recommendation.
The Meinl Switch Stick (SB120) is a hybrid tool that converts between a standard 5A drumstick and a multi-rod bundle — giving you two playing options in a single stick. Useful for gigs where you need to switch between full-volume stick playing and a softer rod sound without changing sticks entirely. UK next day delivery available at Into Music Store.
Yes — cajon brushes like the Meinl Jumbo Cajon Brush are designed with a wider fan and different bristle arrangement to suit the larger playing surface of a cajon.
