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.

Better than many expensive options
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am shocked at how good this mineral sunscreen is. I am a mineral sunscreen junkie and have so many expensive ($50+ a bottle) high end versions. I have fair/light combo skin and hate greasy, pasty sunscreen. This mineral sunscreen rubs in quickly and isn’t greasy. It out performs MANY high end sunscreens. I love that it has 19% zinc (substantial compared to some others) and is waterproof 80 mins. One thing I found interesting (and awesome) is that iron oxide is listed (last) in the ingredients, which means it has a *very* slight tint. Iron oxide is shown to help block visible/blue light which can be important to people like me with discoloration. This sunscreen is pretty robust for a “basic” drugstore brand. The color is more of a (very pale yellow almost?) off white, not stark white, I think due to the iron oxide listed. I wouldn’t call it tinted, but at least it’s better than paper white sunscreen. In comparison to other thick, heavy, greasy stark white mineral sunscreens, this one is a breeze to rub in! I cannot find anywhere if this sunscreen is nano or non nano, so that’s something to take into consideration if you care, which I really do not. If nano sunscreen is a big concern of yours I would reach out to banana boat to confirm. I purchased this so I don’t have to use my expensive face mineral sunscreens on my body but shockingly this may end up being my new favorite mineral face sunscreen. It isn’t drying on me personally (combo skin leaning oily) and it also wore fine under makeup. The finish is a soft satin after dried down. I’m pretty blown away! It preformed perfect at the pool, even in humidity. I will most likely repurchase. I’m glad to not have to repurchase the more expensive MDSolar science mineral sunscreen I was previously using on my body. I purchased with my own money no paid review! 10 out of 10 for the value and performance from me!!!

Good but left white cast on my skin
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Overall, I bought this because of the zinc oxide; it is very easy to use, no strong odor, non-sticky. However, it still left white cast on my face. (The intensity of the white cast is still lower compared to other more expensive brand.)

Non greasy, not much white cast compared to other mineral sunscreens
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The only one my 13 yr old will tolerate. Its the least greasy feeling of any mineral sunscreen we've tried. At 19% zinc oxide, I'm happy. Its also the least "white" cast of any we've tried. My Fitzpatrick III daughter is happy about that
