friction mallets

Unlike the gong mallet, the friction mallet is smaller and easier to handle. Rubbing the gong creates completely different sounds than striking it. While the sounds produced with a mallet are usually vibrant, the gong can be made to resonate with sustained tones using a friction mallet. Depending on the head size of the mallet, you can create brighter and deeper sounds. In this way, friction mallets create a fascinating soundscape that is reminiscent of the singing of whales or dolphins. A characteristic of our mallets is that they leave no marks on your gong when played.
