This set includes a Paiste M5 Mallet, Legendary Classic Mallet, Pair of Unlimited Roller Coasters, and the option to add a pair of Ollihess Lava Friction Mallets (40 and 50 mm).
We put together this heavier mallet set for sound therapists, percussionists, composers, and yoga instructors using 32" to 34" nickel silver symphonic gongs made in the European gongmaking tradition.
We included a range of heavier mallets, sized specifically for 32" and 34" nickel gongs, meant to draw out the full range of sounds and subtleties these types of gongs can offer. Read about each of the mallets included below to find what each one provides.
The Paiste M5 Mallet has a weighted core, wrapped in soft, synthetic wool. It has a light, metal handle, perfectly balanced for the player. It brings a nice, deep fundamental tone while also highlighting harmonics and overtones, all without too much attack or "thunk" up-front or too much crash on the finish.
The Legendary Classic Gong Mallet has a medium-hard yarn-wrapped head and a sturdy wooden handle. With a gentle tap, it will bring you clean, deep tones with fast response. When played harder, the harmonics will expand over the top of a deep fundamental note.
The Unlimited Roller Coasters are a lightweight pair of rollers built with an elongated core that increases the surface contact with your gong in order to create gentle, slow controlled builds.
The Ollihess (40 and 50 mm) Lava Friction Mallets have textured black rubber heads, designed specifically to prevent leaving rubber residue on the gong. These mallets are perfect for creating mysterious whale noises.
