Our Sweetwater percussionists struggle to find the words that adequately describe the sheer scope and breathtaking beauty of the Meinl Sonic Energy Giant Tam Tam. These handcrafted masterpieces hail from Germany, where they are painstakingly created over many hours using traditional European gong-making techniques. The intense heat they get subjected to, in addition to the hand hammering techniques used to shape them, ensures that no two Giant Tam Tams are identical in terms of appearance or tone. Speaking of tone: While it definitely wields a herculean power when struck with force, the Giant Tam Tam possesses a surprising amount of sensitivity. Its sound is actually quite relaxing and ethereal when played gently. Coupled with each instrument’s one-of-a-kind appearance, this broad dynamic range means the Giant Tam Tam from Meinl Sonic Energy is sure to leave your audience in amazement whether you’re an orchestral percussionist, sound designer, prog rock drummer, or yoga studio owner.





Note: This purchase is for the Giant Tam Tam only. Stand and mallets are sold separately. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer with questions or concerns.
