Behold! Eve's She-Ra is real now!
I built this beauty with my FIL in his woodshop. She has a lovely oak handle and a head made from a boxelder tree.
She weighs 12 lbs (5.4 kg) and is 3'9" (114 cm) long. (Banana and Blahaj for scale)

Scrimshawed sailor's mallets in graduated sizes, used in rope working, these all are marked 'HBE', 7" to 3" long, 14" in a handmade dittybag with macrame loop
my band has a mallet warm up called "roller blades" and it was made by one of the seniors who just graduated. it's a hell of a lot of fun. it's a faster version of an old warmup, which was called "rollercoaster", but roller blades is also harder. yeah, i can play rollercoaster, but roller blades is so much more fun!!! also, the guy who made it? he was the one who taught me how to play mallets. i was taught roller blades by the master himself, so i know the best way to hit the pattern!!!
if i were to do it on c major, this is what it would be like-
(sorry it's so long it really only takes about a minute to play lmao)
Went down a new age rabbit hole the other night on a site selling singing bowls and reiki crystals. "Bags (easy to carry)" is funny, and I know they mean small soft mallets to ring bowls with, but "Mallets (comfortable)" just took me out at the knees.
[ID: A screengrab of an in-site sales ad reading "Our healing gift: Receive a free gift with your order" and showing three offers: A bag marked "Free bags, easy to carry", a graphic of a tablet marked "Ebook for beginners", and an image of several small "musical" mallets reading "Mallets, comfortable".]
It's OK, I’ve taken percussions
Enjoy "TumbL" our latest offering. 3rd in the Universe 25 series, this cyclonic instrumental tumults musical strength in 3's amidst guitar & vibraphone arpeggio trade-offs, battling over minefields of churning bass, synth triplets & pummeling drums. Bandcamp has it free here:
