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.

Excellent value for an automatic watch, keeps VERY good time.
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I've only had the watch for a day but wanted to leave a quick review on it to share a couple of notes. So far it keeps VERY good time, better than any of the automatics I own (including a Rolex Submariner, Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Tag Heuer Formula One, and several other sub $1k watches). I set it to an atomic time app on my phone yesterday and 24 hours later it's still SPOT on - hasn't gained/lost even a 1/10 of a second. I was shocked to see it's kept PERFECT time for the last day, I'm really blown away so far. I've worn it the entire time, we'll see how well it keeps time while being stored in a winder. This picture shown is the watch with a 22mm leather band on it, fit's without any issues (just need to squeeze in the leather a tad). I doubt it would work with a 22mm metal bracelet, but leather works great. Just FYI since the 21mm lug width is kind of odd. The face isn't quite a lustrious as the images make it look, but it's still a great-looking watch. For a sub $1000 automatic you can't go wrong, this is a fantastic watch at a great price. It'll be my daily driver for some time I'm sure. If I have any issues in the future I'll update the review.

It looks really cool and striking.

Really cool and beautiful watch. Although my specific unit runs 5 seconds fast every day—at first it’s annoying, but eventually you stop caring. 🤣

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775. The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather." Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars. My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like. This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.
