Detail 01
Large size (TT-1)
A bigger, heavier head moves more of the plate, so you get low fundamental and a slow bloom rather than a fast attack.

Grover ProGong / Tam-Tam Beater Tt-1 Large
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A large beater for gongs and tam-tams. For percussionists who already own the instrument and need a mallet sized to drive it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and band players striking large tam-tams
- Pulling a full, slow swell out of a big gong
- Replacing a worn or undersized beater on hand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting bright, articulate crashes from a small gong
- Drum set players — this is not a kit stick
- Anyone shopping for the gong itself
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Gong / tam-tam specific
Built to excite a hanging metal plate, not a drumhead. On a drum it will feel dead and control poorly.
Detail 03
Beater, not a mallet pair
Gong work is single-implement. You strike with one hand and damp the plate with the other or with the beater body.
Detail 04
$66 price point
This is a single dedicated implement, not a set. Budget separately if you need a second size for softer passages.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01The gong or tam-tam itself is not included
- 02No stand, hanger, or mounting hardware comes with a beater
- 03Large size can overpower small gongs — match it to the instrument
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a regular gong, not a tam-tam?
Yes. Gongs and tam-tams are both struck metal plates and take the same beater. Match the size of the beater to the size of the plate.
02Will this work on a bass drum?
It is not intended for one. A gong beater is shaped to excite a metal plate; on a bass drum head you lose attack definition and control.
03Do I need more than one beater?
Many percussionists carry two sizes — a large one for full swells and a smaller one for quieter, more articulate entrances. One large beater covers most loud orchestral writing.
04Is this the large or small version?
This is the large. It is the heavier option, meant for full-size tam-tams and big swells rather than delicate soft playing.
