Crazy Mallets

Many years ago I heard a recording of Joel M. Ross on Youtube where he had taped his mallets. I found the subtle noise when playing very interesting, but the mallets were always too expensive for me to ruin the winding with tape. 
With my mallet winding machine, I was able to take up the idea from back then again and made my first test mallet with a "striking sound".
The video contains a first quick & dirty test and describes how I made the mallet.
