Gongs / Effects

Embrace the power of the Zildjian 40" Wind Gong, recognisable by its black logo and supplied with a suspension cord. From deep buzzes to brilliant explosions, this B20 model is just as suited to orchestral playing as it is to rock or meditation. A massive instrument with a huge response under the mallet.

ARTICLE N° 121940
The 40" Zildjian Wind Gong is not just an impressive piece of percussion, it's a mass of sound in motion. With its flat profile and 'thin' thickness, this B20 alloy monoblock reacts to the slightest touch. Where some gongs simply make noise, this one sculpts the air. This is a traditional Chinese instrument that has found its place in the pits of symphony orchestras as well as on the most saturated rock stages.

The major interest for the musician lies in its colossal dynamic range. If you work it gently, you get a layer of low frequencies, an organic drone that supports the deepest instruments. But as soon as you hit the crescendo, the metal unleashes its full spectrum: the harmonics soar to offer a brilliant, almost electric shimmer, capable of piercing any mix.

You can even have fun hitting it with a drumstick to get ultra-precise bell tones. It's the ultimate tool for those looking to add a cinematic dimension to their playing, whether for a ceremony, a meditation session or a Dantesque concert finale.
