These do a good job of creating a very hard, bright sound, but the rattan shaft is a little too flexible which affects my accuracy. I WANT to like them but they just aren't working out for me. So, sadly, they're going to sit at home in favor of other options.

I like these mallets. They are hard and bright as described. I have an older set of the DS11 which I love, but needed something harder and brighter to cut through. They are a little heavier than the older version but still good nonetheless. They have a stronger bite when you dig in and clear articulation at soft and medium dynamics.

Disappointed that this line of mallets has switched to much thinner shafts than previously. Had to apply multiple layers of grips to meet my needs. Working fine now; do like the hard heads.

These are just top notch! Mine have lasted me two years and are still holding strong. You can get clear articulation when needed, and you can still have a warm and sweet sound. Even on the marimba it has a substantial sound, though use with caution on the low end of a 5 octave marimba. Perfect for players who use stevens and burton techniques.

I've played many concerts and many solos, and these are probably my favorite mallets. I've used them more on marimba than on vibes, and I love the weight balance because I feel that it lends to better note accuracy. Wonderful pair of mallets, a must buy for any serious percussionist.

These not only get a full tone from the vibraphone but they feel really nice. They transition great to marimba as well but watch out in the lower registers on a 5-octave.
