These mallets are good for general playing, and can be used for a light sound on Glockenspiel, quality sound on Xylophone, and a dark sound on the Marimba, if used correctly. They can also be used for a number of drums, but don't get a good sound on them.

These mallets are good because they can be used for a light sound on bells, xylophone, and a full sound on marimba. They are also very sturdy. I have found that the shafts do not break on these mallets very easily at all. These are good general mallets for beginners
