Up for sale is a rare "time capsule" find for the marching percussion collector: an original pair of Planet Percussion Adjustable Tenor Mallets.
These hail from the legendary original shop on West Imperial in Las Vegas, which served as the premier hub for professional percussionists and elite drum corps during the 1980s. Finding unplayed, factory-sealed "New Old Stock" implements from this specific Vegas era is exceptionally difficult.
Original Craftsmanship: Planet Percussion was famous for their precision engineering, specifically catering to the high-performance needs of the DCI and professional show communities.
Adjustable Balance System: These mallets feature a specialized hollow-shaft system (Batch/Model #2024) designed to allow percussionists to customize the balance and "throw" of the stick.
Premium Materials: Built with durable aluminum shafts and articulate white ball heads for maximum projection and clarity.
Please Note: This listing is for one pair of mallets. I have three pairs available in nearly identical condition. By purchasing from this listing, you will receive one of the three pairs shown in the photos.
Mallets: All mallets are New Old Stock (NOS), mint, and completely unplayed. The aluminum shafts are bright and the blue "PP" branding is crisp.
Packaging: The original factory header cards show typical vintage shelf wear from 35+ years of storage, including age-toning, light fading, and some creasing/bending. The original factory plastic bags remain intact.
