ABSTRACT:
A special effects mallet for production of a variety of unique sound effects when used with percussion instruments. An ellipsoidally shaped mallet head of semi-rigid material having a high coefficient of friction when in contact with a percussion instrument such a drum head or the like, produces sounds imitative of an extremely uniform drum roll when drawn across the drumhead or the like. The frequency of the roll may be varied by varying the speed of movement or the angle of orientation of the mallet head.
