This set includes a Dragonfly Percussion Cynthia Yeh Fuzzbucket Mallet, Acoustic Percussion's GB1 Mallet, a pair of Unlimited Space Grapes, and the option to add an eGong Wand friction mallet.
We put together this mallet set for sound therapists, percussionists, composers, and yoga instructors using 26" to 28" Chinese and similar bronze-style gongs.
We included a range of mallets, sized specifically for 26" and 28" gongs, meant to draw out the full range of sounds these types of gongs can offer. Read about each of the mallets included below to find what each one provides.
The Dragonfly Percussion Cynthia Yeh Fuzzbucket Mallet features a soft layer of faux-fur wrapped around a rubber core, and a lightweight handle. The balanced weight provides great control for the player. The huge, very soft core is ideal for the softest single notes with virtually no attack.
The Acoustic Percussion GB1 Mallet features a hard, yarn-wrapped head, providing fast attack and a clear fundamental tone without much crash or resonance. This mallet is great for tapping the gong to get deep tones.
Our Unlimited Space Grapes have small, furry heads, with long, lightweight handles, making them perfect for doing gong rolls that build resonant swells without too much attack (or "thunk").
The eGong Wand has a silicone rubber "e" shaped head, perfect for dragging across the face of your gong to create mysterious whale sounds.
