    Looking to cop the Braymod but I heard it is really light. Does anyone have any insight into the weight of this ken?

    I have a Bray Mod, and it is light weight(63-68g for the ken and the same for the tama), and plays well

    It's bamboo wood, so whatever that entails

    I have one I can weigh next time I'm in the workshop and remember this thread, I think it is about 70-73 g per side if I remember correct

    That's not too light. I want to get one but I'm not too into lighter kens. Trying to convince myself to take a risk here.

    I actually think I'm going to pass on it. I just can't convince myself to get a lighter ken

    I've jammed a couple different ones and they weren't that light surprisingly. I didn't weigh them but I (usually) know what a ken less than 70 g feels like cause I have a couple that I jam regularly

    I just don't play it. I'm keeping it fresh because the man himself (wyatt bray) signed the box.
