The Large Nipple Gong mallet is constructed with a low-profile 100mm rubber core on a ¾” maple handle with a foam grip.  The core is sandwiched between two steel weights, resulting in a rich, full-bodied response from your largest tuned gongs.  This stick is also a fan-favorite on Chau gongs for a lightening-quick response on rolls and loud notes and cleanly articulated soft notes.
