These have slightly shorter, thicker handles, that feel GREAT, pull the balance point back towards the player slightly, and cushion the hand nicely with big motions. They cut quite a lot, and can play over the top 3.5 octaves of a marimba or the full range of a vibraphone with ease. They do have a mellower bottom end if needed in quieter passages. The tone is warmer than you'd expect with a lot less "slap" than similar mallets. You can play octaves with these on the narrow upper bars just fine. I wish they had a "2.5" hardness to fill the gap from this to the #3

Absolutely Awesome

I have been a band director for 30 years and the Marimba One Front Ensemble series mallets are without a doubt the best mallets I have ever used with my students! The depth of tone and minimal contact noise make them perfect for an amplified front ensemble!

Very good

Very good mallets with a unique finish. It still has birch shaft but it has a finish that makes it seem similar to a rattan shaft. The durability is very great. Because of the shaft's finish, chips and cracks don't show up as much. For those used to Vic Firth marching mallets (multi-application series, Ian Grom, Iain Moyer), the shaft is considerably shorter by around an inch, so hitting octaves will take some time to get used to. This mallet series is also nowhere near as heavy as Vic Firth marching mallets, so they are far easier on the hands. This isn't mean to be a comparison to see which is better, but to give others an idea of what they're purchasing using already familiar brands. Tl;dr: these medium weighted mallets feature great durability, but their shaft length is shorter than expected. You will have a lot a fun experimenting with their sound and are very much worth the price.

10/10 Reccomended

I bought these mallets for marching band front ensemble and they're perfect. Just what I asked for. This is my first time buying mallets so I didn't know what to expect but these exceed anything I've had before. Will buy from here again.
