Vater VCEV51H Concert Ensemble Vibraphone Mallets (Hard) (Pair)

Crafted for the discerning percussionist, these Vater Concert Ensemble Series mallets combine precision engineering with premium materials to create an exceptional playing experience. The oval-shaped design features hard rubber cores wrapped in 100% wool yarn or multi-ply cord, producing the rich, resonant tones that serious musicians demand. Each mallet is built with a 5/16" satin-finished birch handle, offering both durability and the smooth feel required for extended performance sessions.

The graduated head sizes and proportionate weights have been carefully calculated to provide effortless projection across the entire instrument range, whilst maintaining the speed and control necessary for complex passages. This particular model features rattan construction with mushroom heads, utilising hard multi-ply cord wrapping in classic black finish - a combination that delivers both visual appeal and superior acoustic properties.

The Vater legacy began long before the company’s official establishment in November 1991, with the family’s drumstick craftsmanship roots tracing back to Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop basement workshop. Today, operating from their Holbrook, Massachusetts headquarters, Vater has built an impressive roster of world-renowned artists including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze, whilst maintaining their founding principle of producing the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available worldwide.
