About Coach Music

Coach Music is a craft business based in Ravensburg that has been producing timpani mallets, drum sticks and rods for over 20 years. The company was founded by Markus Feldmann as a one-man operation in a small workshop and is still run personally by him today. Every mallet is individually handcrafted – from the selection of woods, predominantly beech, through the processing of high-quality felts to final inspection. The range includes four felt-based timpani mallet models (HT-1, HT-3, MT-2, MT-3), beech drum sticks such as the Guggaprügel for Guggenmusik and marching drums, as well as bundled wooden dowels as rods. Custom-made pieces with wooden heads for baroque and contemporary music are available on request. Sales are handled through the company's own Amazon shop with shipping within Germany; in addition, the business offers personal product advice. The products are developed and manufactured in Germany.
