Zildjian Company are enhancing their product portfolio this year not only by new instruments of all kinds, new accessories and gadgets, but also by introducing drum sticks and mallets.

ZGM General Gong Mallet

This Zildjian gong mallet is yarn-wrapped in a large diamond shape, and is most suited for playing gongs in a range of 20″ to 40″ sizes. With a handle made of US select hickory, it is an all-around balanced mallet for gong playing. General strokes will easily pull more volume out of smaller gongs, and allows for great control and nuance when playing larger sizes. Comes with lanyard strap for hanging on the Zildjian Heavy Duty Gong Stand.

ZGRM Gong Rollers

The Zildjian Gong Rollers are designed for sustaining long notes on a gong, whether quieter, low-pitched drones that rumble beneath the orchestra or ensemble, or crescendos that build to sharp, explosive accents. Rollers are yarn-wrapped in a large diamond shape, and come in lighter maple for easy movement around the face of the gong. Sold in pairs.

ZWGM Wind Gong Mallet

The Zildjian Wind Gong Mallet is designed for lighter playing, when the music calls for a more delicate sound. A thinner diameter than the General, this mallet can create splashes on smaller-size gongs, and thinner, more articulate sounds on larger sizes or gongs with deeper profiles. Wind Gong mallets are yarn-wrapped, with a handle made from U.S. select hickory.
