ただのたかしよ かもね

There's no guides in English, and sometimes its just people going by word of mouth. I was self taught by watching hours of Japanese tutorials and have been making bachi for as long as I've been playing, even then, the technique can always change, and Im still improving mine. First step is you definitely don't want to use a knife, look for a "block planer" or "block plane". If thats not an option for you for some reason, try buying a GOOD rough metal file, or metal rasp. These will not carve, but will be strong enough to get the job done with enough time, and so it's more of a last resort (some countries can't easily buy planers). To explain the purpose of the line markings, it's more for consistency between both sticks. You use that line to start your carve on that spot, then you mimic the same thing on the other stick. As you go, the carving line goes further back and the carve will be longer. Doing this step process creates a pointed taper. These days I still do line marks but I do less and WILL go off course, since I can eyeball the bachi, so both match much better. One of these days I would like to make a video so others can learn too

how would that’s work? you’d just break your screen lmao

That's a difficult question, there always has to be a balance. You can bachi lighter by carving them thinner, but then they will become handle heavy and uncomfortable to use. So you need to consider the density and weight of the stick before carving too thin.

Thanks! Do I just have to find a good weight and density of a stick?

@@user-br3uf9cj2g well, there's not many sizes available of acrylic rods. What I mean is; while working, it might not be possible to make them as light as you'd like, since it's naturally heavy, and you need the bachi to be balanced where your index finger lays

In your other video ( the clear bachi) was the bachi heavy? I might try that type of material (it also looked like a pain cutting the bachi) and can I use wood?

@@user-br3uf9cj2g Both these and the acrylic ones are heavier than wood. And wooden tools? Yes you should be able to use that, your blade needs to be very sharp however

It would be incredibly difficult to only use sandpaper, I'm talking multiple hours. Using anything to carve would immediately be better, that's why investing in a block plane is important. You could use a knife to carve away, but it's really dangerous so try it at your own risk.

@@Kev2o2 Yeah, but unfortunately Amazon isn't really an option in Singapore and most hardware shops don't seem to have block planes. Knives seem dangerous and fairly inconsistent from my personal experience, any idea what other tools I could use for wood?

In that case I think you should look for a Metal Rasp or Metal File. You'd still be sanding away wood, but solid metal will scrape away wood MUCH faster.

@@Kev2o2 Ah i see, thank you for the swift and VERY detailed response. Hope to see you make new bachis in the future. Left a sub on your channel!

Thank you! I hope your bachi project goes well!

Would you rather spend $70 or $500? Grab the Tatacon if you're just trying out the game and want to get a feel for it. If you can personally justify buying a $500 video game drum, get the Taiko Force lvl5 for the closest arcade experience possible.

Tatacons work fine even without modding, but buying one can kinda be a shot in the dark, you never know how it will be until you've already thrown your money at it.

@@Kev2o2 Yeah thats true. I got Taiko like a month ago and its taken over my life, lol. I got the Hori drum yesterday and was kinda disappointed. It would be a hefty cost but I'm think of creating my own taiko set up to almost mimic the arcade experience.

@@Kev2o2 Also big upps on the planet wisp OST :)

@@bristow4784 How is it going so far did you quit or are you still playing, kinda curious

Definitely not as much. Though, wiith it being a dense polymer, it's still too heavy to use realistically, but that's okay since I only made them for the video

Oh... cause I was thinking to make my own maibachi with plastic and wood after watching your video

I don't recommend making plastic bachi at all ^^' you might want to read the video description

I know, they look cool and by the way , can the plastic bachi roll?

Yes of course, they roll a lot more than normal wood, but the plastic absorbs a lot of the impact so the hit may not register

Link is in the description Sonic Colors - Planet Wisp Act 1 & 2

@@Kev2o2 thank you!
