Paiste M7 Gong Beater

This is a great mallet for larger gongs - though due to the size and weight I've found it only useable for larger and heavy strikes, which it excelles at. I prefer my Oli hess 355 for more general low end duties. I'm personally not sold on the metal handle - as I prefer the feel of wooden shafts.

These are observations based on my playing style rather than criticisms of the mallet, as this Paiste is a quality item.
