These gong mallets feature a double-head design with a friction ball on one end and a friction rod on the other, and both ends can be used. Made from metal and silicone for durability and long life. They provide the grip and pressure needed to make gongs sing with a rich, whale-like resonance. Dragging the mallet across large gong surfaces can produce a range from a soft tone to a loud resonance. - Double-ended versatility: use either end on gongs for different attack and timbre. - Durable construction: metal core with silicone components for lasting performance. - Dynamic control: precise grip and pressure to sculpt tone and sustain. - Wide tonal range: from subtle sounds to full, shimmering resonance by varying force and stroke. Use scenarios: - Live performances with large gongs to create dynamic textures and crescendos. - Studio or score work for sustained gong tones and sound design. - Meditation sessions or sound baths for gradual, calming resonance.
