Rolling pins cost only $2 each in Daiso.
So rolling pins are cheaper. Unless you sand the rolling pin edges, the taiko drum skin will be damaged.

ya rolling pins cheap, but nice to use??
muz have gong de xin oso mah.. if not the drum got hole ltr, got hard time playing. haha..

Please, no rolling pins. Unless you file or sand them down until round like some of us did.

Otherwise we will end up with another lobang *somewhere* in the drum like Iluma's.

yea lor... the amk hub drums looked so freaking EWWW~ that time even got dried bloodstains somemore. its better to spend a few more dollars to save the effort of sanding and sanding. i bought my bachis for $7 only. not that ex ma.

Wow, it's been 3 years.
Here's the site for the CO drumsticks in bugis area, near iluma (to be called bugis+ in the future):
http://www.eason.com.sg/products/products_drumsticks.jsp
((I didn't know it has a site until 3yrs later))

Most of my numerous sponsored pairs of bachi and the two pair I've bought are 六道木鼓棒.
As the webbie says:

These sticks are hand made from a type of small plant called Abelia biflora. Each stick is painstakingly fashioned from the stem of the plant. These sticks are especially resilient and they feel very comfortable in your hands.

Indeed. It's really really resilient and comfy compared to self-made bachi as far as I know.
Although I have used lots of different pairs & types of bachi for CO + taiko, nothing comes close to the two pairs 六道木鼓棒 I've bought and choose carefully.

Choosing bachi is like choosing your good spouse.
Choose it well because you can only play well when it feels like part of yourself.

That's what I always tell others. So, time to choose your bachi well~ ^-^
