The Vic Firth Emil Richards Super Rub Mallets were created in collaboration with legendary percussionist Emil Richards, also known as “Mr. Hollywood Percussion,” originally designed for studio use in TV and film scoring. These unique mallets are built to produce distinctive rubbing and swelling textures across a wide range of percussion instruments.

Designed especially for creating smooth, atmospheric effects, the Super Rub Mallets are ideal for cymbals, gongs, and chimes, delivering rich, evolving soundscapes perfect for meditation, yoga, and cinematic applications. Their specialized construction allows players to generate controlled friction-based tones and expressive swells that are difficult to achieve with traditional mallets. Available from Sky Music Australia, they are a creative tool for sound design and experimental percussion.
