Solid steel core on ½” aluminum handle.  Covered in numerous layers of felt and fleece with a harder and softer side.  This diminutive stick packs a surprising amount of punch.  The double sided design gives it a huge dynamic range—hard side is ideal for soft notes, providing lots of lows with great articulation and projection; soft side is great for loud notes, giving even finicky tams excellent “bloom.”  Great go-to stick.

What do Dragonfly mallets sound like?

Did you know that most gong owners own a large collection of mallets. That is because each mallets brings out different tones in the gong.  A big soft mallet dampens the tiny sound waves so you hear the really low tones. A big mallet with a hard core still brings out the deep tones but also lets you hear the attack.   Tiny mallets allow the higher tones to sing stronger.   Check out this vide and hear how each mallets sounds.
