Yes, this Gong comes with a Mallet. Lovely Holly is a buddy, yes a Buddy Holly to this amazing Chinese Gong that we call the Chocolate Drop gong. Because you see, she is super sweet, if she had gotten the golden ticket instead of Charlie, Willy Wonka would've chosen her to be his successor. And she would've named a candy Holly's Lollys! The sucker not for suckers! You cannot get the Chocolate Drop gong anywhere else but Gongs Unlimited because we designed it with our happy gongmaker in Wuhan China.  Based on a Chau Gong, that is the bullseye design with a rim, we removed the outer ring. What this does is give you a bit more response and shimmer and splash. It is not a crash like a Wind Gong, but more It a version of the classic Chinese Chau Gong, but because we have had the outer ring area lathed, it has a bouncier, more lively tone, and faster response when you strike it. Strike it lightly and you get gentle clean depth. Depth to exultant flourish in one gong. Strike it harder and you get some splash and shimmer! But try not to be self conscious in front of the camera Holly! Of course, if you hit it harder you get brighter sounds. Men like Chocolate too.  |
