Model DS11 brings out more of the dark tones of the marimba and vibes. The attack tone is free of yarn noise and slap, great for recording or chamber use.
The original Dave Samuels DS11 and DS18 mallets have a unique small bronze core that increases the mass of the rubber head and “kicks-in” at high dynamic levels for even greater projection. They are medium weight mallets with medium thick rattan handles.

I bought these back in college. It's a rubbery soft vibraphone mallet, it's great as an extremely soft vibraphone mallet, a medium soft marimba mallet, but it real strength lies as a suspended cymbal mallet! It's perfect for cymbal rolls! I highly recommend!
hands down, the most durable and most consistent pair of mallets I own. I know some people don't like the rattan feel, but it works great for me. I have subjected these mallets to YEARS of high school abuse and hey have outlasted every kid.
These are very nice mallets. But truthfully, I returned them to the seller, because they are simply too soft and lacking in definition. I could see possibly using them in certain limited situations, but never as a general purpose mallet.
Exactly what I needed.
I love the sound, feel and weight of these mallets. They work well on both vibes and marimba for a clear concise sound. The mallets arrived so soon after ordering I could hardly believe it! Very pleased with my Steve Weiss experience.
