Low-volume Gong with Superb Sustain Management
Often referred to as a Hmong Shaman gong, the Gou Gong has deep roots as a medicinal tool in the realm of healing traditions. Keeping in mind this rich history, Zildjian crafted this gong to sound both heavy and thick, with a turned edge that allows for clear and warm tone production to supply less spread and overtones than you'd find in more traditional wind and chao gongs. Sweetwater percussionists love how you can manage your preferred sustain lengths, which allows you to stretch notes with ease through repeated strokes while unlocking the beauty of the Gou Gong's higher fundamental pitch. At 17 inches in diameter, this gong is the ideal choice for low-volume settings such as in smaller ensembles, private rooms, or intimate performance spaces. The Gou Gong's beautifully rugged finish is complemented by an etched Zildjian logo on the front side with an additional black printed logo on the back. Plus, the attached black hanging rope makes for quick setup and easy usage wherever you need it.
