Best Vic Firth M266 Vibraphone Mallets Alternatives

Based on 1 reviews

this company makes really high-quality sticks. the mallets are quite well balanced, these mediums have a beautiful color and a great tap at the beginning of the note. I definitely recommend and especially at this price. I want to try other hardnesses as well. very lively open sound.

In my search for mallets that produce cutting edge without the sound getting too clanky, and mallets that have the weight and power to carry the fundamental tone of my bars, I have experimented with a lot of different mallet types and brands. The mallets I've played from Vic Firth (Gary Burton, Stefon Harris), ABC, Malletech (Mike Mainieri, David Friedman, David Samuels [R.I.P.]), Musser (Mike Mainieri, Gary Burton Good Vibes), Mike Balter and even old Deagans all seemed to get close to ideal but lacking the last bit of bite, power and depth. Now I've discovered these mallets from Innovative Percussion, designed - I believe - by Anders Åstrand, and I absolutely love the entire range (well I've only bought the three softest sets) but they all sound fantastic on my old Deagan bars....
