Dragonfly Resonance Series RSF Series Gong Mallets

Om Chau Gong Highly Recommended

I was looking for a portable gong that had minimal "clash/ cymbal" or shrill sounds, and looking for one with a deeper, resonant and reverberant sound. I thought that would be limited by a portable gong size, such as the 28 " one that I purchased. I listened to the sound samples from the videos on the gong shop website. The Om Chau gong had the closest to the sound I was looking for. When I used it for the first time, I was shocked in a great way. I never thought a 28" gong could have such a deep, reverberant sound that was exactly what I was looking for. It was better than I expected! Using the Dragonfly Resonance RSF2 Mallet also made a huge difference in the depth of sound achieved as opposed to the mallet that was included. No high clash/ cymbal sound at all (although with different mallets and struck at the right spot, I'm sure that's possible too). The Tone of Life Flumies Friction mallets gave that echo whale sound that I never knew a gong could produce. The Chronos Gong Stand CA32, as recommended, was easy to set up and affordable, perfect for mobile use. I'm very happy I went with the 28" Om Chau gong! An amazing sound at a great price, and also has a very cool look to it.
