A $7.49 mallet with an 8-inch handle, sized for children playing hand drums. A classroom and home consumable, not a performance beater.

Detail 01
Short enough for a child's grip and reach. An adult hand will feel cramped and lose leverage.
Detail 02
The soft head pulls a rounder, quieter tone from a drum and is gentler on heads than a wood tip.

Meant for frame drums and hand drums played on the lap or held, not for a mounted kit.
Detail 04
Priced as a replaceable item. Buy several at once for a class rather than one at a time.
