What it is

It is a musical gizmo that is formed like a disk. It can either be sizable or tiny, depending on the way it is to be used & what sounds you need to come from it. It is a percussion gizmo, which means that it produces a sound when it is hit. The object usually used to strike this is the mallet. In case you have seen those sticks that strike a drum, the mallet is similar to that. It is like a drumstick with a rounded head. Unlike a drum, however, where you can freely hit any part of its surface area, the gong is usually hit at the middle because it is where it vibrates the sound that they so often associate with it.
