These are some very nice mallets, but I found them to be too soft and lacking in definition to be a general purpose vibes mallet. Honestly, I think that the "medium" designation is a little misleading. Should probably say "soft."

These are great vibe mallets with a nice sound and nice feel, but the rattan is ridiculously too thin. Bad job innovative percussion

There mallets were recommended to me by the great vibraphonist Tim Collins. They are heavy and require a little time to get adjusted to how they feel. The RS251's have a lot of bounce and help project a bright sound from my vibes. I highly recommend them. (I play jazz and use 4 mallets).

I really like playing vibes with these mallets. The heads are heavier than others and that take some getting used to. They are well constructed; flexible shafts, the yarn holds together well and they feel nice in the hand with a forward weight to them. They really bring out the fundamentals and sound wonderful across the dynamic range.

Love these mallets. They have that spongy punchy sound that isn't overpowering but articulates enough to create a distinct sound. I also like the way they sound on marimbas.

these mallets can achieve a wide range of dynamics. you can get very loud and very soft. little contact noise is a huge plus and the shafts are flexible for fast playing. I'm a percussionist with eleven years of experience. 7 professional, and i wouldn't choose another mallet for general use. If you are a beginner who has been told by your director to buy your own mallets, i recommend 2 pairs of these for your stick bag. They also work very well for suspended cymbal rolls!
