[@Sights-and-Sounds_777]

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

[@macprofessor]

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

[@13indiakate]

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

[@GK-rw2op]

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

[@Sam-tj8gq]

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

[@nigelcarren]

Bravo mate! Beautiful work. 🏆⚒️🇬🇧

[@aquila4789]

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

[@ВладимирГончаров-у6ы]

Прекрасная работа!

[@GodfreyJust]

Nice! I'm repurposing a 22" drum ride cymbal into a gong. It has the typical circular grooves, I want to remove the grooves and create a surface similar to your gong: can you recommend what wheel to use on my sander/angle grinder?

[@rafaelmarin1698]

Me parece un trabajo magnífico

[@АсяРусовская]

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?

[@rafaelmarin1698]

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

[@kson4156]

Is this just a random steel sheet, or it's specialized for gongs

[@rafaelmarin1698]

Me gustaría saber qué tipo de metal es hierro o bronce

[@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.^__^

[@kaori-3882]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@ismoyogrup]

may i know, what is the thickness for this steel? please for the info

[@Zendrums108]

Hi thicknessbis ~1.5 mm

[@williamnordeste9653]

Very nice Uncle Will

[@danallansarthou7]

Noisy gong must be in monastery?

[@Zendrums108]

Gong make monastery anywhere)

[@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.

[@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

[@esdrasleal3902]

Need one

[@mathias841]

Did you heal the centre only ?

[@natalysalazar2126]

Hermano! Saludos desde Peru! Greetings from Perú and also thank you for your excellent video, really inspired, the sounds remembered us ayahuasca trips. Can you tell me wich steel is made? Thanks

[@Zendrums108]

[@butziporsche8646]
