Later, I adapted the 4 mallet technique for use on the drumset. I've seen Billy Cobham do something similar. Has anyone ever tried something like this on the kit? If so, what did you think of it? -------------------- Tiger Bill Meligari Tension Free Drumming Post Extras:       17drums Tiger Talk Pro Reged: Aug 15 2008 Posts: 263 Loc: New York, USA Re: 4-Mallets on a Drumset?

I'll hold two sticks for playing the kit, but I'll also hold two vibe mallets for (for instance) a mallet roll on a suspended cymbal...or two bell mallets plus drum set sticks, etc. -------------------- moderator, mallet forum Post Extras:       Pages: 1
