Detail 01
Medium weight
The middle option. Enough mass to bloom a large tam-tam, still controlled enough for quiet entrances.

Grover ProGong / Tam-Tam Beater Tt-2 Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A medium-weight beater for gong and tam-tam. For orchestral and pit percussionists who need controlled attack across a range of dynamics.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral percussionists covering standard tam-tam parts
- Pit players needing one beater for varied dynamics
- Schools buying a first proper gong mallet
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing the deepest possible roar from a large tam-tam
- Anyone wanting a soft roll beater for sustained swells
- Drum set players — this is not a kit mallet
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 large flat metal disc. Head size and mass are wrong for drums or cymbals.
Detail 03
Around $66
Real orchestral mallet pricing. Well below a tam-tam itself, and it lasts years with normal use.
Detail 04
Single beater
One mallet, not a pair. Gong and tam-tam parts are played one-handed.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One beater only — no gong, stand, or second mallet included
- 02Medium sits between soft and hard; heavier tam-tams may want more mass
- 03Store the head away from hardware so the surface stays even
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between medium and other weights?
Weight controls how much of the instrument you excite. Medium gives a full sound on most tam-tams without losing control at quiet dynamics.
02Is this one mallet or a pair?
One. Gong and tam-tam writing is one-handed, so a single beater is the standard purchase.
03Will this work on a large tam-tam?
Yes, though the very largest tam-tams respond better to a heavier beater when a part calls for full volume.
04Can I use it on cymbals or drums?
It is built for gong and tam-tam. On cymbals and drums the mass and head are wrong, and you risk damaging both.
