Dragonfly Percussion L3B Lotus Beta, crystal singing bowl/gong mallet, the Lotus³ mallets are 3-in-1 implements designed to strike and sing crystal singing bowls and gongs - all with one mallet. The soft silicone handles create a whisper soft fade-in/fade-out effect when rubbed along the lip of the bowl. Each mallet also sports a higher-density silicone ball on one end for louder, more robust friction on the side of the bowl. Transition between the silicone ball and handle is seamless. On the opposite end on the Lotus3 Beta is a smaller purple fleece-wrapped mallet head ideal for safely striking your bowls as well. It elicits a warm, full-bodied sound from your bowls or shimmery high frequencies from your gongs
