Mallets produce a much more defined attack and higher volume. They become useful as soon as you play fast melodies, where the finger does not have time to bounce properly, or when playing outdoors, where the sound produced by fingers is quickly drowned out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet them bounce\u003c\/strong\u003e: the head must leave the tongue immediately after impact.
