Three friction mallets, a complete sound spectrum

We put together the Friction Mallet Starter Set because these three friction mallets complement each other perfectly. Each has its own character, its own surface, and its own sound. Together, they cover almost the entire sound spectrum you can create with a friction mallet. Whether you're just starting out or have been playing for years: with this set, you have everything you need to play truly amazing sessions.

Intense 60 – Powerful and Resonant

The Intense 60 delivers power. Its finely textured surface immediately produces intense, mid to low-range sounds that leave a lasting impression. With its 60 mm diameter head and 136 g weight, it feels balanced in your hand, allowing you to immerse yourself in impressive soundscapes. If you want to draw truly rich frequencies from your gong, the Intense 60 is your friction mallet.

Smooth Lava 50 – Gentle and Flowing

The Smooth Lava 50 is the counterpart to the Intense. Its delicately textured surface, made of super-soft natural caoutchouc, allows for smoothly flowing sound progressions that are particularly easy to control. From bright to deep tones, you can coax out the finest nuances with this friction mallet. Perfect if you want to create gentle transitions and sensual sound textures.

Crazy Egg – Versatile and Surprising

The Crazy Egg is a friction mallet like no other. Its unique egg shape provides you with various contact surfaces on a single friction mallet. This means bright, mid-range, and deep timbres with just one tool. The soft surface, made from a sustainable rubber-corn starch blend, makes playing intuitive and effortless. And with a little practice, you can even create sounds reminiscent of whale song. Plus, the brightly colored egg simply looks fantastic.

Perfect for beginners, exciting for professionals

What makes this set so special: You don't need any experience to get started. All three friction mallets are intuitive to play and allow even beginners to immediately produce great sounds. At the same time, they offer enough depth and nuances to captivate experienced gong players. No matter where you are on your journey, with the Friction Mallet Starter Set, you'll constantly discover new facets of your gong.

Handcrafted from a family business

All three friction mallets are handcrafted in Germany. The balls are hand-cast and then refined with special tools until the desired surface is achieved. Small irregularities are completely normal and a sign of genuine craftsmanship. They have no impact on the sound whatsoever. As with all our products, we prioritize sustainable materials and fair working conditions.
