Benjamin Forster's orchestral career began in the Zurich Opera. In 2006 he was appointed principal timpanist
in the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra.
In 2013, Andreas Steiner met Benni Forster in Vienna, where Steiner was producing all the Fromme brand timpani mallets for the Viennese timpani workshop. They soon decided to produce German models
to Benni Forster's specifications, and developed the Benni Forster Signature series.
The Benni Forster Signature series, with its sound concept, top-quality materials and meticulous workmanship, represents a new benchmark
in handcrafted timpani mallets for professional use.
