What mallet selection do you have for this piece? Burritt 13's in all four positions?

[dfuhrman]

@scifidrummergeek I think it was an 8 in the bottom and 13s for the other three.

Do you have any of the other movements? Or is there any information on how to purchase solo and piano accompaniment practice parts? I want to use this for my school's concerto competition.
