Brand: Thomann
Model: Wuhan Tam Tam 50
Category: Gongs
Price: $196.90

* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.

This Thomann Wuhan Tam Tam is a solid entry point into the world of gongs. It's great for adding atmospheric textures to cinematic scores, world music, or even just creating a unique vibe in a rehearsal space. It won't compete with a high-end Paiste or Zildjian, but it offers a good sound and feel for the budget-conscious percussionist.

Product Description

Thomann Wuhan Tam Tam 50, Tam Tam, Diameter: 50 cm (20"), Handmade in Wuhan, Weight: approx. 2.9 kg

*Note: Single piece - may vary in colour and sound*

PROS
  • • Handmade construction offers unique tonal variations and character.
  • • Wuhan production ensures a reasonable level of quality control for the price.
  • • 50cm diameter provides a substantial, resonant wash of sound.
  • • Relatively lightweight (2.9kg) for a 20in Tam Tam, making it manageable.
CONS
  • • Variability in color and sound is inherent; consistency is not guaranteed.
  • • The bronze alloy is likely a lower-grade, resulting in a less complex sustain.
  • • Lacks the refined overtones of more premium, hand-hammered Tam Tams.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 50cm size offers a more focused sound, while the 60cm will be much more expansive and booming; the smaller size is easier to control and blend.
While some Tam Tams are designed to be reversible, these Wuhan models are typically not; the hammering pattern is usually fixed, limiting tonal flexibility.
A soft felt or suede mallet will produce a warm, enveloping tone, while a harder rubber mallet will yield a more aggressive, defined attack.
