I haven't heard the scraping sound...however...
Typically when a gong is played, the percussionist will take the mallet and sort of rub it in circular motion around the gong to kind of warm the gong up a little. I believe that this is to reduce the crashing sound and make a very nice resonance (so it doesn't just sound like a huge ass cymbal).
That said, that MIGHT be what the scraping sound is...but I haven't heard the sound...so if it sounds like REALLY REALLY scrapey...that's probably not it.
