The recommended instrument minimum for this course is as follows:
- One 30” or larger gong made of either nickel silver or bronze. If choosing bronze, it should be a chau gong and not a wind gong.
- Gong mallets - one large and two small or medium. Mallets should be fuzzy and meant for nickel silver gongs.
- Five crystal singing bowls. At least two must be in the third octave and the rest in the fourth octave.
- Bowl mallets - mallets that allow playing on the rim and the side (you may need two different mallets).
- One of the following complementary instruments:
- Bead drum (also called ocean or wave drum)
- Percussion tube
- Standalone rainmaker
