Vater VCEXB12RS Concert Ensemble Xylophone Mallets (Soft) (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 that professionals expect.

The graduated head sizing and proportionate weighting system ensures effortless projection across your entire instrument range, whilst maintaining the speed and control necessary for complex passages. These soft mallets feature 1 1/8" rubber heads in an elegant grey finish, making them ideal for ensemble work where tonal quality and consistency are paramount.

The Vater story began long before the company’s official establishment in November 1991, with the family’s drumstick crafting roots tracing back to Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop basement. Today, operating from their Holbrook, Massachusetts headquarters, Vater has built a reputation that attracts world-class artists including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze. Their commitment remains unchanged: producing the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available anywhere in the world.
