These are great combos for gong players on a budget. They include a gong, a sturdy Paiste "C" stand, and a basic mallet. The size of these gongs allows them to be carried around as a hand-held gong or played upon the stand.
We can also custom configure any of these gongs on other stands for you--we just love the "C" stands most so chose to put these combos up on our site.
We recommend adding a gong bag and a heavier mallet.
Chau: The iconic Chau yields a balanced sound with a concentrated, deeper tone up front, building to a controlled crash of a range of overtones and harmonics.
Wind: This gong is fully lathed with no rim on the back, creating a crashing, celebratory gong with an emphasis on the bright wash of overtones and harmonics.
Solar Flare: This gong has no rim, like the Wind gong. The overall crash has a more drawn-out, concentrated range of tones. It brings a beautiful aesthetic to any room.
White: The lathing creates a bright, airy sound with a quick crash. The rim helps to control some of that crash, giving a bit of clarity to the overall sound.
Atlantis: Dark and mysterious, each instance of this gong will have different coloration and random, varying harmonics and overtones.
Mother Tesla: Very dark and fundamental-tone focused, this gong is completely unlathed with dark, mid-range harmonics and overtones.
Dark Star: With the weight and depth of the Mother Tesla but with a more clarified, clean tone and musicality, yet maintaining the same moodiness.
Subatomic: Deep and balanced, this is the cousin of the Chau, with more complexity on the harmonics and overtones and a clarified, musical finish.
Chocolate Drop: With depth and clear simplicity, this gong is similar to the Chau, only the outer ring is lathed away, adding cleanliness and clarity to the balanced fundamental tone.
Galactic Ring: Dark with touches of light, the Galactic Ring mixes the lower tones of unlathed bronze with higher pitches gained from its two lathed rings.
Lunar Flare: Unlike its cousin, the Solar Flare, the Lunar Flare has a rim that focuses the lighter tones that emanate from the concentric lathed rings.
Mother Tesla: Very dark and fundamental-tone focused, this gong is completely unlathed with dark, mid-range harmonics and overtones.
