ProMark DV8R — Keyboard Mallet for Vibraphone & Marimba

The ProMark DV8R is a keyboard mallet engineered for percussionists who demand clarity and tonal depth from the same stick. Its mushroom-shaped rubber core sets it apart: the shape promotes articulate attack on the vibraphone while the rubber material preserves the tonal warmth that keeps chords resonant and singing on the marimba.

Key Features

• Mushroom-shaped rubber core for defined, articulate response
• Synthetic cord wrap over the entire mallet head
• Natural rattan handles for controlled flex under fast passages
• Extended dynamic range from pianissimo to triple forte
• Blue colourway for quick identification in a multi-mallet setup

Ideal For

The DV8R suits orchestral and jazz vibraphonists who play at volume extremes — from whisper-quiet solo passages to full-stage projection without losing tone. The rattan handles hold up through extended rehearsals and touring schedules, making these mallets a practical choice for working percussionists.
