Salyers Percussion Performance Collection Soft Rubber Xylophone Mallets are pretty much as soft as you can go while still getting a sound out of the bars. If you need quiet, warm, round tones to come out of your xylophone bars (particularly in the lower octaves), these are a good choice.
These mallets can also be used to practice your licks in quiet environments or on stage without bothering everybody else.
Flexible rattan shafts absorb some of the shock that occurs when the mallet hits the bar.
Performance Collection mallets are designed to be workhorse models for students and professionals alike.
