Gong - how 2 play // Premiere

Basic concepts, ideas, tips, advices, possibilities, technics and visions of propper gong playing, communicated by long year gong-expert Jens Zygar, Hamburg Germany. In order to study and use Gongs & the effects of their sounds, it is nice to be able to generate a propper sound on the instrument. Playing good music is definitly not about banging or smashing the instrument! It is a very subtle art of playing with the major element of creation - which is SOUND!
I hope the presented ideas are useful and I am happy to exchange thoughts and experiences on the topic! Have a soundful day!

What about people like Carl Palmer, who play the gongs during drum solos? He doesn't go thru all the "warming up", nor does he exercise all of the preparation for hitting. HE just hits them.

[@JensZygar]

Linda, this is an explaining video, ;-) I will upload a just hitting video very soon; Gong playing is a bit more then just hitting or banging, but anyhow, thanks for taking your time and leaving a comment.
