This package includes an Ollihess M305 Mallet (with three color options), Innovative Percussion CG2 Mallet, Dragonfly Resonance Sound Bath Pair, and the option to add a pair of Ollihess Lava Friction Mallets (40 and 50 mm).
We put together this lightweight mallet package 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 lighter 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 Ollihess M305 Mallet has a soft, synthetic wool-wrapped head. It has a light, wooden 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. Available in Turquoise, Berry, or Black.
Innovative Percussion's CG2 Mallets have a brass ring and solid rubber core that gives it the added weight needed to get your big sonic metal going with minimal effort. The long-lasting synthetic felt covers of the CG2 allow you to get a complete tone spectrum with a little more attack.
This Pair of Dragonfly Resonance Small Sound Bath Mallets have soft, lightweight heads, with a soft layer of faux-fleece wrapped around a rubber core. They have lightweight, hickory wooden handles. They offer lots of control to the player, making them perfect for gong rolls that build resonant swells to a wash without too much attack (or "thunk").
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.
