#168601 - 08/02/08 03:29 PM Cleaning Bass Mallets?
DrummerRunner Registered: 07/26/08 Loc: NJ	The mallets that my bass line use at school have a dark dirty looking patch on the mallet head because of use. Is there any way to clean them or would it be better off to replace them? _________________________ 9th(06-07): Snare 10th(07-08): Snare/ Drumline Section Leader 11th(08-09): Snare/ Drumline section Leader

Insomniac Registered: 09/24/03 Loc: Ann Arbor, Michigan	Dont worry about it, mallets get dirtier with time anyway. If you use any sort of liquid (soap, water anything) on the head, then it will swell up, and be even less usefull than before.

maskeddrummer Registered: 06/17/05 Loc: Florissant,MO	Why not just use some dark mallets like Inovative's. They are kinda a gray color so they don't really look dirty. lol. _________________________ If you ain't having fun, you ain't doing it right.
