Schlagkraft Vibraphone Mallets: A Jazz Musician's Review

Schlagkraft is a Vienna based mallet company owned and operated by renowned percussion soloist Nebosja Zivkovic.
The company has been known for producing excellent quality marimba mallets, and now they have begun producing vibraphone mallets. In this video, I demonstrate the models, of which there are four:
1) Blue Medium Soft SV-10
2) Burgundy Medium SV-20
3) Orange Medium Hard SV-30
4) Yellow 'Clear Cut' SV-40
I compared these mallets to several other mallet brands you might already have in your collection: Innovative Percussion DF30 (Friedman), Malletech ELS16 (Ed Smith), Mike Balter 49R (Joe Locke Deep Tone), and Malletech Medium Albrights (Stefon Harris).
I played both solo and with a backing track so you can get a sense of the sound of each set, plus I tried to give you as much information about how they feel and how they are constructed.
This review is my %100 honest opinion, so I hope you will find it helpful!
