Description

Vic Firth Soundpower Gong MalletsThis listing includes one gong mallet. Yes! We do like Vic Firth Gong Mallets. WHY? Because the large GB1 and GB2 Gong Mallets have soft heads, and are great to use on Paiste Gongs and Meinl Gongs, where you don't want to injure the thinner metal, and yet want a deep tone. We like the GB3 and the GB4 for the heavier metal of the Chinese Gongs and even for Thai Gongs and Vietnamese Gongs. The GB3 and GB4 have the weight you need to get them sounding

Yes! We do like Vic Firth Gong Mallets.

WHY? Because the large GB1 and GB2 Gong Mallets have soft heads, and are great to use on Paiste Gongs and Meinl Gongs, where you don't want to injure the thinner metal, and yet want a deep tone.

We like the GB3 and the GB4 for the heavier metal of the Chinese Gongs and even for Thai Gongs and Vietnamese Gongs. The GB3 and GB4 have the weight you need to get them sounding meaty and fierce!

GB1 Mallet Measurements:
Total Length: 17"
Handle Length: 13"
Mallet Head Diameter: 5"
Mallet Head Height: 4"



Sasha Mallethead was very young once, and she really loved her Vic Firth Gong Mallet back then! She knew it was a great inexpensive mallet to use on large Paiste Gongs.

The surface area is big and the softness brings out the deep tones gently and easily! Sasha was so smart as a young girl. Just see how happy she is with her new Vic Firth GB1 Gong Mallet!

If your gong is 28" or larger, embrace this mallet, and then bang your Paiste Gong without fear, and with a lot of money in your wallet.

GB2 Mallet Measurements:
Total Length: 16"
Handle Length: 14"
Mallet Head Diameter: 4"
Mallet Head Height: 2"

The Vic Firth GB2 is another great gong mallet that is a low cost substitute for the Paiste Brand Gong Mallets.

Synthetic Wool Head and Wooden Handle - How many men do you know who fit this description? Well, it may be a bit of a zinger when directed to a human, but when you are talking gong mallet - it's a great description!

The soft head makes this gong striker soft enough to work with the thin nickel-silver of a Paiste Gong, or when you want to build the sound of your tam-tam slowly and gently.

GB3 Mallet Measurements:
Total Length: 18"
Handle Length:12"
Mallet Head Diameter: 4"
Mallet Head Height: 6"

The Vic Firth GB3 Gong Mallet is what you need when you want to get all the sound you can out of a larger (36"+) gong.

The weight of the specially designed mallet head is enough to bring out all the great resonance and harmonics from your instrument. The softness of the fabric not only protects the metal but it gives a little when it strikes the gong, and brings more depth.

Hitting a large gong without the right mallet, is like driving a Ferrari in a school zone. You just aren't using it to its potential.

If you have a large gong, or are buying one, don't cut corners on the mallet. Go with the SoundPower and you won't be disappointed.

GB4 Mallet Measurements:
Total Length: 17.5"
Handle Length:13"
Mallet Head Diameter: 3.5"
Mallet Head Height: 5"

The Vic Firth GB4 is not as heavy as the GB3, but it still has that SoundPower trademark punch. It's just a little lighter to play and use.

The head of the mallet is not as much of a block, so you can get more levels to your sound when you hit your gong. You can ROCK, but you can also ROLL. You can HIP, but you can also HOP. You can COUNTRY, but you can also WESTERN. The The SoundPower GB4. It's here, waiting for you. Vic Firth Mallets are the Firthiest. And the Vickiest as well.

“Indestructible”? Not even close.
Color: Carrot Orange, Color: Carrot Orange
I bought this because it was advertised for large aggressive chewers and claimed to be indestructible. Unfortunately, that couldn’t be further from the truth. My dog destroyed this toy in about two minutes. Seriously. It took me longer to get it out of the Amazon packaging and the manufacturer’s box than it did for my dog to rip it open. Once he got going, the seams popped and stuffing was everywhere. Then I got the joy of cleaning up the mess, which took longer than the toy lasted. If your dog is actually a strong chewer, this toy probably won’t survive very long. I wish I could recommend it, but honestly it just didn’t hold up at all. Save your money and keep looking

UPDATE TO MY REVIEW / It's NOT indestructible!
Color: Carrot Orange
UPDATE: I stand by my review for the original "Plush Toy". BUT ... the seller contacted me and offered to help, because they don't want their customers to be unhappy with their products. I described the problem, and they said they'd contact their supplier to correct things. AND ... they offered to send another dog toy that actually was indestructible. My dog, a Border Collie - Retriever mix, loved the replacement they sent, an Orange Peanut. (He even took it to bed the first night.) This was much appreciated. But what I most appreciated was their Customer Service and Care. They don't just say they want their customers to be happy, they actually demonstrate it by their actions. This type of care is rare these days, and I commend them for it. Notice I've changed my rating from 1-star to 5-stars, this is in recognition of their Customer Service. To me, this type of care is more important than any product. So I now fully endorse this seller. If you have an issue with a product, just contact them (through Amazon), and they will do their utmost to make things right, and to make sure you're happy. ****************************************** I bought this because it was described as "Dog Plush Toy for Large Aggressive Chewers, Indestructible Dog Squeaky Toy" (from their listing on Amazon). My dog is a Golden Retriever mix, and he's only a "medium size aggressive chewer". And yet, this toy lasted 10 minutes at the most. Very disappointing ... save yourself a "dog toy heartbreak".

Not indestructible however not terrible.
Color: Shocking Pink
Not indestructible however not terrible. My strong chewer had quickly devoured the plush stomach and eaten the squeaker. But the rope parts and rough face pieces are holding up well. Not a disaster.

Good toy but not indestructible
Color: Royal Blue
The toy is nice, but my dog killed it in about 30 minutes. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because it says indestructible Toy in the description. Other than that it is a nice chew toy.

Dog loves it. So 5 starts
Color: Carrot Orange
A great value toy that is very hard to destroy. Our dog usually runs through softer toys and this one has lasted a long time. Its not chewable like a plushy but harder fabric that doesn't rip apart. The dogs are having a blast with it. And so are we. The colors fit the description. The size was idk 2ft ish. It met all expectations. I wouldn't expect to need more than one of them unless your dog is a super destroyer.
