Micro Hydra Beads (mixed 6-pack)
Micro Hydra Beads (mixed 6-pack)
NOTE: The Micro Hydras were originally developed as an “accessory” to add weight to our hardcore compatible shells. As begleri play has evolved, preferences for smaller and lighter sets have evolved to the point where these are now considered a legitimate stand alone set among intermediate and advanced players. For new/ beginning players, it would be advisable to start with a larger set, or to pick up some hardcore compatible shells for these.
Micro Hydra Beads (6-pack)
This is a 6-pack of "micro-hydra" beads, including 2 copper, 2 brass, and 2 stainless steel. These beads are part of the Hardcore Gut System, which allows players to customize the weight and feel of their begleri. While it is possible to string these up and play with them as begleri, it is not an optimal experience and is not recommended. These have been designed to be used with the larger begleri beads flagged as "Hardcore Compatible". This currently includes: Everyman Copper, Everyman Brass, Everyman Stainless, Everyman AL Hardcore series, as well as the Everyman Delrin and Everyman Silicone beads sold individually.
Weights of the Hardcore Gut System beads are as follows:
Micro Hydras
Stainless Micro Hydra 3.1g
Brass Micro Hydra 3.3g
Copper Micro Hydra 3.4g
Stack of all three Micro Hydras 9.8g (total weight of 6-pack is 19.6g)
Micro Standards
Stainless Micro Standard 7.6g
Brass Micro Standard 8.1g
Copper Micro Standard 8.5g
End Caps
Stainless end cap 9.3g.
