Vater VCEXB60EH Concert Ensemble Xylophone Mallets (Extra Hard) (Pair)

Crafted for the discerning percussionist, these Vater Concert Ensemble Series mallets combine precision engineering with premium materials to achieve exceptional musical expression. The oval-shaped design features hard rubber cores wrapped in 100% wool yarn or multi-ply cord, creating the rich, resonant tones that serious musicians demand. Each mallet is built with a 5/16" satin-finished birch handle, offering the perfect balance between durability and responsiveness.

The graduated head sizes and proportionate weights ensure effortless projection across your entire instrument while maintaining the speed and control needed for complex passages. This particular model features rattan construction with an extra hard rating and a 3/4" brass ball, making it ideal for applications requiring maximum impact and clarity.

The Vater legacy began long before the company’s official establishment in November 1991, with the family crafting bespoke percussion items in the basement of Boston’s legendary Jack’s Drum Shop. From their Holbrook, Massachusetts headquarters, Vater now produces hundreds of different models trusted by world-renowned artists including Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze. Their unwavering commitment remains focused on producing the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available anywhere in the world.
