Detail 01
Large size
More mass sets a big gong or tam-tam into motion, which is what produces a full sustained wash instead of a thin ring.

Innovative PercussionGong Mallets Large
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Large gong mallets for tam-tam and gong work in concert percussion. For a percussionist who needs full sustained tone from a large instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and concert band tam-tam parts
- Large gongs where a smaller mallet cannot move the metal
- School and community percussion sections adding a gong mallet
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Small gongs or opera gongs, where a large mallet overpowers
- Drum, timpani, or keyboard percussion use
- Players needing bright, articulate gong strikes
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-specific build
Made to strike metal, not drumheads. Head material is chosen to pull sustain from a gong without harsh clang.
Detail 03
Concert percussion category
Aimed at orchestral and band setups where the gong is a hung instrument, not a hand-held or set-mounted one.
Detail 04
Mid-range price tier
Above the cheapest general mallets, at a level typical for a dedicated single-purpose concert accessory.

- 03Confirm quantity before ordering if you need a matched second mallet
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size gong is this for?
Large gongs and tam-tams. On a small gong the extra mass will overpower the instrument and muddy the tone.
02Can I use a bass drum mallet on a gong instead?
It will make sound, but a gong mallet is built to strike metal and draw out sustain. A bass drum mallet gives a duller result.
03Does this come with a stand?
No. Mallets only. The gong and stand are separate purchases.
04Will this work for a suspended cymbal?
It is built for gongs and tam-tams. Suspended cymbal parts usually call for yarn mallets or sticks.
