Key Features
• Soft-Wrapped Ethereal Sound Heads: The custom rubber tips are meticulously wrapped in a premium blend of soft polyester and polyacrylic fiber. This unique coating completely absorbs the harsh, metallic ‘click’ of initial contact, producing an incredibly smooth attack and an ethereal, heavenly echo.
• Optimized for Octave Tongue Drums: Specially voiced to work harmoniously with Meinl’s OSTD (Octagonal) and MOSTD (Medium Octave) families. They smoothly activate the sensitive dual-reed systems of these drums, blending the fundamental tone and its higher octave into a seamless, therapeutic wave of sound.
• Ergonomic & Lightweight Design: At just 46 grams per pair, these 10-inch mallets offer a swift, effortless rebound. The balanced weight distribution lets you play rolling, low-volume ambient swells and slow meditative patterns for hours without facing physical hand fatigue.
• Included Protective Cover Set: This professional package comes complete with a dedicated protective cover/case, ensuring your custom soft heads stay clean, safe from dust, and performance-ready during transport to external sound baths or classes.

Create an Ambient Blur for Deep Healing

When swiped across your drum, they blend separate musical notes together into a warm, continuous drone—gently guiding your listeners’ brainwaves away from daily stress and deep into alpha or theta meditation states.
