These mallets are very well made and make a great sound on all the cymbals I tried! Do everything I need them to!
However, I wouldn't necessarily say for the price they make as big of a difference as expected to a standard vibe mallet, but the difference is noticeable!
To sum up, if you're willing to spend the extra money and really care about that extra difference in sound, buy these! If not, a Mike Balter Blue or similar would do the trick!
