Bro I don’t know why this doesn’t have more views
Great video 👍
Thanks for the tutorial!
Happy Drumming!
@@diydrummer235 omg I didn't think you would respond! I have a quick question. How durable you would say the DIY mallets are? (Or does that depend on how good my DIY skills are lol... 😅)
@@specialsauce. Thanks for comments and questions! I guess it partly depends on your materials and what you’re using the mallets for. Generally coated heads are tough on mallets. I used upholstery thread when sewing mallets for durability. I have had that pair from the video in my stick bag since I made them. Gets moderate use and you can’t tell they’ve been used. I am a gentle player though :). Good news is they’re cheap to make! :)
@@diydrummer235 Thank you so much for the quick response! You've been so helpful!
good one! I just wrapped wool around and around the end of the drumstick; this method might last a bit longer. Thanks for the info.
That works too! I have made vibraphone mallets with that method with relative success. Thanks for commenting!
