Raven Sounds

Gong Mallets

Strike, rolling, and friction mallets for gongs from handheld to 32", from Grotta Sonora and Ollihess plus our own Cosmic Tones and Mid-Tones, designed and hand-assembled in the USA. A complimentary Cosmic Tones Mallet is included with every Raven Sounds gong purchase.

Friction mallets — the Ollihess Crazy Egg, the Intense Edition+ in 50, 60, and 70 mm, and the Grotta Sonora Friction Ball Set — are drawn across the face of the gong instead of struck, for a continuous singing tone. Strike mallets are sized to the instrument, and each product page lists the gongs it’s matched to. Free US shipping.

Strike, rolling, and friction mallets

We carry gong mallets from Grotta Sonora, Ollihess, and B Love, plus our own Cosmic Tones and Mid-Tones. Strike mallets are swung against the face for a defined attack and decay. Rolling mallets are played as a matched pair to keep the gong sounding and let it build. Friction mallets are drawn across the face for a continuous, singing tone. Each product page lists the gongs it’s matched to.

Not sure which mallet fits your gong? Our guide to choosing a gong mallet sizes the main mallet to your gong and covers what to add for quiet playing, rolls, and friction.

Which gongs include a mallet

A complimentary Cosmic Tones Mallet is included with every Raven Sounds gong purchase. Grotta Sonora gongs ship without a mallet, and each Grotta product page lists the mallets we recommend for it. Free US shipping, hassle-free returns.
