Shiny and expressive in a slightly different manner than traditional Paiste Symphonic Gongs. The Symphonic Brilliant Gongs are identical in construction to the Symphonic Gongs but are laboriously hand polished to achieve their distinctive mirror-like look.

The sound of the Brilliant models differs slightly from the regular Symphonic Gongs. They build up their overtone structure slightly more rapidly, and sometimes you feel the mid-range become a wash a little faster.
