Tim Genis demonstrates his signature GEN1 Timpani Mallet GEN1 - Roller - Produces a beautiful roll quality without attack in the stroke. Felt core. Tim Genis has been a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 1993, when he won the appointment as Principal Percussionist - a position which he held until winning the timpani position, a role made vacant with the retirement of Vic Firth after a 50 year tenure. Currently head of the percussion department at Boston University, Tim also runs the BUTI percussion program at Tanglewood. Mr. Genis has recorded for Sony, London Decca, and Philips recording labels and has been a guest performer with the Vienna Philharmonic and New York Philharmonic. This versatile line of timpani mallets is tonal in character and designed to create different colors and qualities of articulation. Persimmon shafts provide a darker sound. The balance and weight of each model make articulation effortless.
