Homemade Percussion Mallets

Homemade Percussion Mallets
I made some percussion mallets myself in this video. These mallets can be used for playing on xylophones, marimbas, vibraphones, cymbals and other percussion instruments.
Materials needed:
- Drumsticks
- Yarn
- Scissors
- Tape
- Needle
Step 1
Tape the stick to form a core for the mallet
Step 2
Wrap the core with some yarn
Step 3
Cut the yarn while keeping it under tension
Step 4
Thread the needle
Step 5
Stitch the top and bottom of the mallet
Step 6
Cut off the remaining bit of yarn
Hope you enjoyed the video!
I used a drumless track for this video to drum along to. You can find that track here:

What's wrapped around the top of the drumstick before the electric tape was added?

[@andrewdelrusso4951]

Great video! I’ll definitely be making my own mallets now that I’ve see how easy it is 👍🏻

[@Mart_402]

Awesome, glad this video helped! I would suggest watching more videos about this that are more instructive. This is more like a show-off, not a tutorial.

That,s really cool i play xylophone but i think this work on xylophone👍

[@adilsarbay3181]

Thanks for this. I am halfway done and tried them on my metallophone but it wasn't like I thought. They ended up being too tough I think so they make a loud sound. I will try it on some other instruments and for sampling weird sounds around the house.

Hah. Jokes on you. I made mallets using only crumpled pieces of paper. glue and drumsticks.

[@abrupt_opportunities]

Jokes on you, i made mine using plastic food wrap.

[@bhartilad7652]
