The Vintage Bomber was designed in collaboration with Otis Brown III, drummer for Jazz great Joe Lovano. The Vintage Bomber is designed to replicate the soft yet rich tones of the bass drums from the golden age of jazz. The cork center of the Vintage Bomber is surrounded by a soft and fluffy synthetic covering, reminiscent of the look, feel, and sound of the authentic felt mallets made from pure sheep wool that were used many decades ago.
