<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 4471085, member: 76316&quot;]Made of ~1⅛&quot;bamboo, they&#039;re 53.5 cm long; 19 cm of that are the grips. Each has 19 saw-cut &#039;fingers&#039; about 34 cm long. Each are about 3½ oz, or ~100 gm. They show no age, wear or soil; they may be quite new.</p><p><br /></p><p>What comes to mind is what early American jazz drummers called flyswatters, now just brushes. Used against a drumhead, they produce a softer, quite distinctive sound. But I doubt these were used against a thin-membrane drumhead. More likely (to me, anyway) would be against a) each other, b) something multiply ridged or corrugated, c) some (cylindrical?) hollow object,</p><p>or d) various areas of the human body.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a musician however: so all above is speculation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever they may be I&#039;ve never seen another, therefore <u>had</u> to have &#039;em.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please enlighten me! I&#039;ll be promptly grateful...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]387053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]387056[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
