Yes, I'm currently side-tracked on a few projects, but I'll be back with videos soon, and I can include my hand-wrap method in a future release. Thanks for checking out the videos!
This is why most orchestra musicians, musically look down on percussionists. Because we do so much unnecessary stuff while leaving the important things undone. It takes so much time to learn technique, hand sensitivity on vastly different instruments, fine dynamic control, develop ear, musical communication, accurate reading and so much more, and control it all while weaving a meaningful artistic sense through it, that if you want to do it well, that leaves no time to fool around with making your own mallets. Pianists could learn to tune their own pianos, but why waste the time? What you are talking about here is a massive learning curve to reach the point where you can make quality mallets. Why waste time when there are so many good mallet options to buy? So many, in fact, that one can not ever hope to try them all. You've got to be pretty arrogant to think you're going to buy a machine and make your own mallets, better than what's already available. And if instead of spending your time honing your musicianship you want to tinker with stuff, go ahead! But when that trumpet player or violinist looks towards the percussion section and simply shakes their head at your sound, you can show them your machine-wrapped mallet and smile insensitively-like: "I don't care dude. I don't gotta be musically sensitive to your level, because I'm a percutionist. Can you make mallets, huh? Can you handle a pliers and get under the hood of a vibraphone, huh? No you can't, you silly musical musician!"!~!!!!!! For the price of this machine I could buy all the marimba/vibes mallets I could ever need, but most importantly, - I would stay on my instrument and practice the multitude of instruments we have to master and leave the mallet making to those who've dedicated lots of time to designing and making mallets professionally. And if I'm wrong, I'd like to know. Show me all the top mallet artists who make their own mallets. Uhm, last I checked the overwhelming majority of well-known mallet artists endorse professionally-made mallets. I wonder why? But then again, if you can't play at that level, you can always brag about how you made your own mallets. That's not who I want to be. Do you? Aspire to become a better musician. A lifetime is not enough to really excel at music, for most people. Why waste time making side things, especially when they are already available and you're building nothing new???? I'm just challenging you to be better!
Could you teach us how do you hand wrap your mallets? your mallets looks amazing!
