From PAISTE on their Mallets:
"The Sound of the Gong with respect to the Mallet
The sound and reaction of the Gong are determined by the size, weight and the material the mallet is made of. The mallets listed in the mallet section, are in accordance with the proper requirements. If you will use other mallets or tools, please make sure that the materials used are not too hard or sharp in order to avoid damaging or distuning the Gong. However, it is quiet possible you may be able to create interesting and fascinating sounds through the use of various materials and objects while utilizing appropriate care. Paiste mallets are manufactured to Paiste’s specifications, standards for top quality and durability."

Andrew from Gongs Unlimited here.
We know it can be difficult to find the perfect gong for your needs via the Internet. After all, how many times in your life do you buy a gong? If we're lucky, once! If we're super lucky, you have a house full of gongs.
BUT we can help you figure it out! We have lots of sample sound files and videos for you to listen to. AND if you have questions regarding the right size or style of gong, or if you want to mix and match various stands and gongs, send us a message or call weekends are ok!
THANKS!
