Oh that crazy Mike Balter, making all kinds of mallets for all kinds of percussion, and here he goes again with his special Emil Richards Rubber Mallets for the gong player who likes to make her or his gong get a nice long moaning tone. The Malletheads have used these fine mallets and we have to say, Excelente! From one of our customers: Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how crazy good those super rubs are. They have just opened a new door to my gonging experience. Thanks. Here is a mallethead helper, in video below, making some sounds on a 28 inch Chinese Chau Gong. The difference between these Super Rub and other Superball Mallets is the quality of rubber. This is softer and so you can get a easier moan and whale noise on your gong. However, you do need to remember to clean off the residue from your gong after repeated use. See Emil Richards here. The man who developed these mallets. A great jazz percussionist, he was the percussionist for Lost. About 6:18 in the video his portion starts. |
