Has a great explosive tone, hit it in the middle or around the edges. I use it as a ride too, has a very distinctive ping!! Buy the Wuhan gong adapter to help stabilize it when mounted on a stand, it REALLY helps to keep it sturdy.

We needed a gong to spice up our high school techno parties. We shopped around and discovered this gong. It is the best piece of instrumental glory I have ever witnessed. The sound is that of angels rocking hard core to techno music. If ANYONE wants a good BOINGOINGOING sounding gong, this is it.

I've owned this gong for about 2 years now, and I've never had any trouble out of it. It's got a great deep sound. I bought it for use in a couple Fleetwood Mac songs that require a gong, and I don't regret it. It's great for the money, and it is not a crudy gong that will crack at frist strike. Buy one today!

Great gong for bands and alternative groups. We use it in our band and my own and boy does it sound great. I used in a talent show and people loved it. Good for traveling also and fits in most cymbal bags/cases. Great sound!

This is a great deal. A freekin gong for this low price! Let me tell you, I use this all the time. It has a surprisingly good sound. It is great for cymbal swells. Great to use to add a dark effect to your music.
