Salyers Percussion Performance Collection Soft Vibraphone Mallets are best used to make lush, round sounds on the bottom range of the instrument. They're particularly useful when you want the bars to sing out their notes, but without any attack up front.
Flexible rattan shafts, preferred by most vibraphonists, absorb some of the shock that occurs when the mallet hits the bar. They also work excellently for mallet dampening.
Performance Collection mallets are designed to be workhorse models for students and professionals alike.
