In our exclusive lesson series, world renowned composer and performer Ney Rosauro demonstrates the grip that he uses on both Marimba and Vibraphone. Developed during an extensive performing career, Ney's "Extended Cross Grip" combines the advantages of the Burton grip (power, speed and ease of learning) with the Musser/Stevens grip (independence, flexibility and wide interval range). In addition, the Extended Cross Grip applies instantly to all keyboard and multi-percussion instruments, making it the most effective way to play with four mallets.

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Ney has developed a successful international career as a percussionist, composer and pedagogue. He is an immensely popular composer of percussion concerti with an average of 150 performances each year by distinguished orchestras and wind ensembles worldwide. His numerous compositions and method books have become standards in the percussion repertoire and his CDs have been hailed by critics, percussionists and general music-lovers alike.

As soloist and pedagogue he has presented courses, solo concerts and performances with orchestras in around the world.

STEP 10: After grinding, sticks move to the finishing room to have clear finishes, paints or Vic Grip applied before printing.

Ney Rosauro demonstrates his signature M221 Marimba Mallet

M221 - Soft - For rich bass and well defined fundamental in the lower register.

Internationally renowned composer and percussionist, Ney Rosauro, designed this special series of marimba and vibraphone mallets to reflect the sound he desires for his award winning compositions.

All of the models feature rattan shafts and rubber cores coupled with special yarn and cord choices. This assures the player a pure and natural sound that projects the full capabilities of the instrument. Unique to this series are 2 "hybrid" models designed to cross-over between marimba, vibraphone, and xylophone.

In STEP 9, sticks pass through the second grinder to shape the top half (tip end) of the stick.
