It sounds like the tolling of an iron bell, calling the faithful to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic spells......

A person who plays these is called a gong donger...when you player a smaller one you are called a ding donger....Or a bing bonger donger. Uncle Will

[@mattdevaux4447]

you have to tie that gong on rope and let it hang. Twist the rope hit the gong and let it spin on its own and unwind. That will create an awesome effect. Your craftsmanship is great.

[@PandaTamer97]

Incredible craftsmanship worthy of its gracing vibrations

[@nigelcarren]

Watching someone else do this for once makes me think... Why do we all like hitting bits of metal with hammers so much? 🙈 Nice job, that thing was ringing even without heat! 🏆 Best wishes to you... May your elbow never falter! 💪⚒️🇬🇧

[@jimdavis8391]

Is the heat to anneal the steel? Then it will vibrate more readily?

[@Liepsnoja]

Hi what thickness (mm )of steel do you use ?

[@daviewavie112]

Do you need the flame thrower? Or can you just throw the gong over a fire pit? I've never worked with metal, but the idea of making your own gong seems fun. I found a website that sells b20 bronze sheets and I can buy hammers.

[@giorgosgeorgiadis8457]

Hello Congratulations, all your videos are amazing! I am interested in building a gong and I would like you to tell me if there is a book o something that may help me with this task! Also I wonder why do you heat them is necessary? Thanks in advance

[@Shydieb24]

How could i have one of this???

[@tallyankeegal]

I was waiting at the end for AC/DC to break into HELL'S BELLS!

[@ravenatorful]

Or for whom the bell tolls by Metallica

What alloy is this?

[@arielmendoza-nu8uu]

Helisepp make a Little Iron Gong

[@tonythibodeaux6617]

I think I got a head ach.

[@BaterozDrumfest]

This sheet is maybe 20 thickness. I will try a 24 thickness sheet more thin. And more diameter maybe 40" to have more low and deep tone.

[@guachingman]

takes a lot of bang to make one gong

[@unfoldyourself1743]

Hello, I am living in Germany and I like the Idea of sharing knowledge ! I Love your gong. Do you know where i have to hammer the Gong? Did you do it by feeling or do you know which area has to be hammered? And can I take also Aluminium, Messing, copper? :D

[@Helisepp]

Hallo ich lebe auch in Germany, du darfst mich gerne auch auf deutsch fragen ;-) Ich gebe mein Wissen und meine Erfahrungen gerne weiter, aber meine Videos sind keine Bauanleitungen. Da gehört schon ein bisschen mehr dazu.

[@pest5373]

@@Helisepp hey I would love to also know this information

[@Бомжерка]

Hello , and you could not share the drawings of this development, I want to repeat

[@Planetenklang]

Hallo :-) - tolles Video, eine absolute Bereicherung! LG Heiko

[@patrickbodine1300]

Beat it. Just beat it. How do you know when it is "done"?

[@Arcanecymbals]

how thick is in iron ,Martin?

[@chaneppchannel_365]

Chinese have sun and moon Gong ,feel different.

[@jackcjtan2735]

Very unique!

[@rafaelmarin1698]

Que grosor tiene la chapa

[@omarmontoya48]

Para mi parece tener uno o dos milímetros de grosor, pero asegurate de comprar chapa de hierro no de acero o acero galvanizado

[@rodrigoalmeida100]

[@omarperez7585]

[@rafaelmarin1698]

Me puede decir si es hierro o bronce gracias

[@danivaldes3526]

Se ve q es hierro

[@denysbarabanza3129]

Dear Sir! Do you have any theoretical materials on gong making. How to calculate the side length, where to drill the holes, how long to heat the metall? Please.
