ProMark DV5R marching keyboard mallets feature a mushroom-shaped rubber core to achieve the articulation needed on the vibraphone with the tonal warmth of a rubber core. Triple forte dynamics cut through in the stadium while pianissimo dynamics are delicate on stage. Synthetic cord wrap covers the head. The DV5R provides the softest articulation and maximum tone. Rattan handles offer the necessary flexibility while remaining durable enough for demanding performance.
