Bronze Gongs TM 

Paiste spent around a decade developing Bronze Gongs. The first 7 Bronze Gongs introduced are the result of a journey of discovery through the sonic world Bronze presented for the creation of Gongs. Along the way, we developed entirely new types, adapted familiar types from the traditional Paiste Gong Program, or used those as a starting point for further development. A variety of shapes and structures emerge through the use of known and novel designs: rim and surface configurations, various hammering structures, visual design through firing, shaving and polishing – the full range was explored and implemented. 

We deliberately have not (yet) given Bronze Gongs designations in terms of name, function or character, nor are we offering recommendations for particular use. We are confident that these will develop and reveal themselves through application and experience within the global gong community.
