Gong bass drum

Gong bass drum

A gong bass drum (or simply 'gong drum') is a type of drum which utilizes a single oversized drumhead (who's diameter is normally 2 inches above that of the drum shell) in order to create a loud, resonant sound when struck. Gong bass drums were first produced by Tama in the late '70s, and have since been used by artists such as Billy Cobham, Neil Peart of Rush, Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, Simon Phillips of Toto, David Silveria of KoRn, Aaron Gillespie of Underøath, Dominic Howard of Muse, Budgie of Siouxsie & the Banshees and Chris Slade formerly of AC/DC. Gong bass drums are usually relatively large, and are most frequently found in 20" and 22" diameters. They are often mounted on legs (much like that of a floor tom), 'rollaway' stands or ordinary tom stands/arms (though usually a pair is used for stability).
