It creates a beautiful, transparent sound on gongs of all sizes as well as singing bowls. With virtually no attack and a comfortable, resilient feel, this is a mallet you’ll keep coming back to. Excellent both as a pair of rollers or as an individual stick.

The updated version features a slightly heavier core, softer covering and shorter handle made of maple or aluminum. This mallet is fairly light, but extremely soft. The foam grip provides a comfortable and secure feel. It is delicate and elegant but also has the capacity for substantial swells because of its extremely soft covering. It’s as soft and cuddly as it’s name suggests.
F2 Large Ball
Total Length: 15"
Head Thickness: 5"
Head Width: 5"
Weight: 13 oz
The F2 is a powerful, robust mallet. The large, heavy ball-shaped core is wrapped in two layers of felt and synthetic Sherpa. It will generate a huge sound from even your largest gongs. This mallet is soft, but not super soft, which gives it an effortless response and an amazing overtone spread. Big lows, but also shimmering highs. This stick really does it all.
F3 XL
Total Length: 15.5"
Head Thickness: 6"
Head Width: 5"
Weight: 12 oz
Same shape and super-soft wrap, but BIG. Absolutely luscious, seamless sound with virtually no attack. Amazing for sustaining a low drone and for soft strikes that are felt more than heard. But if you want to play loud, this mallet will bring the bass in a way our original FuzzBuckets cannot. The substantial mass and surface area of the FuzzBucket XL makes it particularly well suited to your largest gongs.
Medium Hard
Total Length: 14"
Head Thickness: 1.75"
Head Width: 3.25"
Large, low-profile disc shaped core covered in fleece on a maple handle. This mallet is harder and considerably heavier than the Resonance Series Small (RSS), resulting in an amazingly fast and effortless response. It is capable of a huge dynamic range and full spectrum of overtones. Excellent for use on almost any size or variety of gong.
Small
Total Length: 14"
Head Thickness: 1.75"
Head Width: 2.5"
Small rubber disc-shaped core covered in layers of soft felt and fleece on ½” bamboo handles (14” length). Designed to be used as a pair- these sticks are light and maneuverable and pull a wide spectrum of overtones from a range of gongs. The 14” bamboo handles are smooth and comfortable in the hand. They are resilient off the surface of the gong and elicit a fast response.
Polycarbonate Wand (RBI-PWL) Large
Designed to produce a big sound with a maximum spread of high and low overtones, the polycarbonate wands are the perfect compliment to the warmer, softer sound of the leather wands. The added mass from the steel ball brings out the fundamental, while the hard polycarbonate tube elicits lots of highs. The tubes have a similar tactile feel to a solid wooden wand, but without the white-noise friction sound typical of wood. They’re hefty yet maintain a comfortable balance in the hand. And the foam grip helps reduce hand fatigue from extended playing. Ideal for metal bowls 6" and larger.
Leather Wand Large (RBI-LWL)
The Benjamin Irons Signature Leather Wands feature a brand new patent-pending design of numerous layers of leather tightly stacked to create a solid cylindrical rubbing surface. Perfect as general-purpose wands for metal singing bowls, the unique design helps bowl enthusiasts of all levels to sing their bowl without the “sputtery” pitfalls of a traditional leather or wood puja. These rubbing mallets evoke the fundamental tones and most vibration from your singing bowls with a comfortable feel and minimal effort. The Large is ideal for use with metal bowls sized 8" or larger.
Hard Mallet
Length 13.75”
The hard suspended cymbal mallet is designed for playing rhythmic passages and brighter single notes. It has a small brass core covered in rubber with a tight cloth wrap. It is articulate, clear and very quick to speak, but still sounds like a mallet, not a hard stick.
