This versatile and attractive gong produces a huge range of authentic tones. Whether you want to add a unique trashy-splash effect to your drum kit use the soft mallet to produce calming sweet shimmers or simply add some interesting decor to your home or studio this petite Wind Gong has it all. This gong is tuned to G. The Wind Gong also known as the Feng Gong or Lion Gong is a flat bronze disc which is lathed on both sides producing a high pitched quick attack with bright aggressive overtones and a long sustain. Due to its smaller diameter this particular gong sounds less abrasive than many larger gongs producing a sweet bell-like tone with great versatility. Dont let the size fool you though this wind gong can be a monster! Its not as dark in timbre as the larger models but when struck hard it produces a trashy-splash effect used by many rock drummers. Strike the gong with a nylon tip drumstick and youll get a crisp ping sound similar to that of a big heavy ride cymbal. Alternatively strike the gong with the included soft mallet and youll hear an exhilarating yet calming shimmer. This Wind Gong can be used as a hand gong or is easily attached to a small gong stand using the hanging strap provided often for incorporation into a large drum kit. Due to the relaxing nature of this gongs tone it can also be used in meditation spiritual events or even simply for decoration as it looks every bit as good as it sounds.
