Mallet triggers?

Does anyone know of a set of MIDI triggers embedded in mallets? Not in the pads, but in the sticks themselves?

To what end? Could you hack/build your own?

MIDI drum pads are just contact microphones with some rubber.

You could imagine putting a small contact mic in the mallet, but I'm afraid the simple fact of taking the mallet in your hand would be enough to trig.

Maybe a couple of wiimote could replace the mallets?
