Salyers Percussion Marching Arts Collection Soft Vibraphone Mallets are designed specifically for the high physical demands of front ensemble use in marching band, drum corps, and indoor drumline. The extra-durable cord wrap on these mallets can withstand an entire season's worth of reps.
These soft mallets are useful for delicate or nuanced moments in a show that highlight the front ensemble - like a ballad - when you want beautiful vibraphone tones to just appear in the music without hearing that initial attack sound.
Flexible rattan shafts make mallet dampening much easier than birch.
As a very handy bonus, these mallets have color-coded butt ends so you can tell which ones are which even when you put them head-first into a mallet bag!
