Gong Mallets

Activating the Voice of the Gong.

The mallet used to play a gong has a profound effect on how the instrument responds. Different sizes, weights, and materials reveal different tonal layers within the metal. Soft padded mallets often produce deep, warm resonance, while firmer mallets can activate brighter harmonics. Many practitioners explore several mallets over time to discover the full range of voices within a single gong.
