Description: Professional gong mallets; felt (yarn) heads; hard head, quicker response than Cannon wool-headed mallets & Paiste wool-headed mallets; almost the same response as Sabian felt-headed mallets (the Balter medium & light mallets have a very slightly quicker response, and are slightly brighter, than the Sabian mallets.) The Super Rub mallets produce whale & dolphin-like sounds, & thus expand the pallet of sounds you can get on your gong.
