Associate Professor Jon Metzger has completed the design and development of a new, signature mallet with the Pro-Mark Corporation, a leading manufacturer of sticks and mallets based in Houston, TX and exporting to over 100 countries world-wide. The Jon Metzger Autograph Mallet will be released this week at the Percussive Arts Society’s International Convention in Columbus, OH and be featured in Metzger’s clinic/performance there. Metzger joins other autograph endorsees at Pro-Mark including current stand-outs Joe Locke and Evelyn Glennie and vibraphone legends Lionel Hampton and Milt Jackson.
