Drones - Friction Mallet

Click here to see a demonstration video

Cooperman "Drones" - our take on a friction mallet - facilitate players in a creating a  haunting, droning, accent sound.  The effect can be controlled by allowing the ball-end to drag loosely across the surface of the drum head,  or by adding pressure along the length of the linkage - in this case a length of instrument grade snare "gut" - to create a higher pitch "drone."

• approximately 6" long.
• a colorful variety (let us choose) of synthetic polymer balls.
• natural, snare "gut".
