They were great until I used them in a performance. Both heads came off the shaft. Good thing I had my handy dandy 30 year old Deagsn's handy. I have never had this happen. These mallets are too expensive to fail on first use.

Awesome!!

Comments:

Malletech needs to make these types of mallets more often. Nice round tone and great for solos. If you're buying your first set of xylophone mallets, you should definitely get these. Words can't describe how I feel about the them!

Son LOVES them!

Comments:

This was a purchase for my high school son. They were recommended to him, so he asked for them. When he tried them, he was impressed. They handled well, and produced a nicer sound than the old mallets he was using.

Eh.

Comments:

Good mallets but too light.... great for speed but they dont cut through and theyre pretty damnnnn short. Good mallets to have but only if accompanied by a pair of heavier stronger xylo mallets.

Becker Blues

Comments:

Great mallets! They are great for those fast runs. They work best on rosewood xylophones. I would recommend these to anyone!

The Standard Xylophone Mallet

Comments:

This Mallet has become the standard for xylophone playing. Every serious percussionist should own a pair of these mallets. They produce excellent sound quality that all conductors love. However, for me the mallets are a little too light and the handles are a little too thin, but these issues are just personal preferences and fall into the shadow of these mallets great sound quality.

Great

Comments:

These are good all-around sticks for xylophone playing that will not disappoint in any category of playing. They can fly, maybe too fast - maybe a little too light, but even so, any lick or run on the xylo is made a lot easier with these sticks. A nice clear sound with them too - loud enough to be heard in the band, but not that ear-piercing kind of sound.

Bright sound, clear articulation in all registers. VERY light in the hands; almost top-heavy. Good for solo work or ensemble.
