Great feel, just enough flex in the rattan to make dampening on the vibraphone bars easier.

My son is a Junior percussionist in college with a major in Music Education and needed a harder mallet and highly recommended these specifically from this web-site. I searched the web to compare prices and these were by far the most cost-effective. He has used them and said they work perfectly for his application (Marimba if I'm not mistaken).
I ordered a pair of mallets that came to me with uneven sized handles. I contact Steve Weiss music via email and they then contacted the supplier. They kept me informed that they were following up with the supplier and within a couple of weeks the supplier sent me a replacement pair at no charge. I was super impressed that Steve Weiss Music had been so thorough with something that could've easily gone unhandled.
These mallets are pretty good for percussion ensemble parts (could be vibes or the higher register of the marimba). They provide the ability to play soft passages without sacrificing articulation. Up to mezzoforte they are great. However, after that dynamic level they become very incisive. With proper technique, this mallets will do wonders. They are very well suited for solos or accompaniment, as well. Finally, this mallets will last a significant amount of time. Worth the buy.
Great mallets for vibes or multiperc with vibes when articulation on all instruments is needed.
