Detail 01
Thinner diameter than the General Gong Mallet
It is intended for lighter playing, including splashes on smaller gongs and more articulate results on larger or deeper-profile gongs.

Independent shopping perspective
For lighter gong parts, the Zildjian Wind Gong Mallet favors a delicate approach. Its thinner diameter, compared with the General Gong Mallet, can create splashes on smaller gongs and yields a thinner, more articulate result on larger instruments or those with deeper profiles. The yarn-wrapped head is paired with a U.S. select hickory handle, described as offering excellent balance. It suits passages where a less heavy gong voice is called for.
