Paiste Gong Mallet M6

Paiste GM49006 Gong Mallet – M6

Product Description

The Paiste Gong Mallet M6 is engineered to activate the full sonic depth of large gongs. Constructed with a solid internal core wrapped in felt and cloth, and finished with synthetic lambswool, this mallet produces a deep, expansive tone with strong low-frequency presence.

With its increased size and weight, the M6 is ideal for drawing out massive swells, sustained resonance, and powerful fundamental tones. It allows the player to fully engage the gong’s body, unlocking a wide spectrum of harmonics and immersive sonic textures.

Whether used for sound baths, performances, or ceremonial settings, the M6 offers maximum depth, projection, and dynamic control for large-format gongs.
