[@Sights-and-Sounds_777]

Amazing! Didn't know iron would sound so good, looks quality too 👍

[@13indiakate]

I love this, thank you for sharing. I wanna make gongs with all different people around the world

[@nigelcarren]

Bravo mate! Beautiful work. 🏆⚒️🇬🇧

[@macprofessor]

Love your commitment and risk taken to make this gong. sounds truly elemental. Thanks - wheres the next one?

[@GK-rw2op]

It's amazing how music came out of that Gong at the end

[@rafaelmarin1698]

Me parece un trabajo magnífico

[@Sam-tj8gq]

I like your video. Im planning to build a gong too. May, I know what metal and what thickness you use?

[@Jacksirrom]

Seems like a great project. Use up old material, get to sit around smashing metal with a hammer for ages, playing with giant torch, and finally smacking dat mfing GONG!

[@user-sm6rh4lr8x]

wow!где ты нашел такой железный лист?Отличная работа!очень круто вышло!

[@Zendrums108]

Старый советский запас. Еще Липецкого завода .

[@semenkaravaev647]

Ваще огонь!А какой материал и какая толщина?

[@aquila4789]

I would love to hear your gong without any background music!

[@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

[@Pilzwelten369]

Please make more gongs you are really tatlented

[@kaori-3882]

Hi, amazing video! Would love your help, I'm looking for information about the points I can drill to hang a gong, without interfering with the sound? And also information about the thicknesses of different gongs. Do you know of a online forum for these subjects that I can ask these questions? Thank you!

[@Zendrums108]

The poits could be very different, but for the Chau shape ,the are often made on the bended edge avoid the tuned face. Thickness is also very different . Chinese chau gongs forbexample can be very fat ,even with 60-90sm in diameter. Paiste for example much more thin, but they use very quality materials and technology. Sorry i dont know any forums.^__^

@@Zendrums108 Thank you for answering! This is great help :)

[@mathias841]

Did you heal the centre only ?

[@ATCFDrummer]

It's a tam tam, there is a difference. You made a decent tam tam.

[@bonerici]

Isn't a tam tam still a type of gong?

[@ATCFDrummer]

@@bonerici gongs are tuned to a definite pitch, tam-tams aren't.

[@moogik1892]

I'd love to make one! Mainly cos ready-made ones are so expensive to buy.. Is Steel the best metal to use? Or should I use Brass / Bronze?

[@Zendrums108]

The are a lot of ways to do. Someone use steel. Tradidionaly ofcourse it's a bronse, but you also can meet brass or even titan.

[@stenlyspa1325]

nice, i will follow your example - look in my fathers garage! Thanks for the inspiration!!! What you put on the gong after you heating it - something like sand, or cement??? :)

[@Zendrums108]

Hi! This is wonderfull to inspire by doing what is wery love to do. To avoid the rust, i put acrylic varnish. Also there must be a lot of other ways!) Take care!

[@Zendrums108]

This sand i got from the forging prsctice. For the gong cool slowly afrer heating. Maby itis not nessesary:)

[@ravenatorful]

From my understanding slower cooling is used in many metal instruments for a more stable and sturdy product, and it also makes the metal sound better. Something to do with the molecular structure.

[@rafaelmarin1698]

Me podría decir qué grosor tiene la chapa para poderla trabajar como usted lo hace

[@rafaelmarin1698]

Me gustaría saber qué tipo de metal es hierro o bronce

[@esdrasleal3902]
