You are a master of sound! So many people associate the gong with a powerful "blast" of sound and never realize the soft and moving range of different textures and tones. The harmonics that can be manipulated are incredible. I have heard the friction technique before, but not done nearly as beautiful and haunting as what you have done here. Magnificent! I could literally spend years learning all of the nuances of these instruments.
Thank you! This was very insightful. I appreciate your years of research and study in the Sound healing field and am inspired to move forward in my own journey. By the way, I am not struck in any negative sense by your quasi displaying of your credentials through your free hair expression. It is endearing, actually, to see one being comfortable in their own hair.
Hi, Everything is really clear and very helpful for the beginner that I am in playing gong. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a beautiful way. Hope to listen to you again. Keep it up !
This was tremendously helpful in learning about various mallets thank you for posting. What size is this gong? I'm interested in a Paiste symphonic gong. Thanks!
14:40 - I think my soul just left my body for a while there. Whoah. Thanks so much for this video, it's immensely informative. Can I ask which gong that is? update: I've watched a thousand 'gong' videos and this is still one of the most informative. Thanks so much for posting.
I Love and appreciate this video!! I enjoy your teaching & playing style as well as the lovely sound healing. You are also very Beautiful with great hair : )
Thank you for this informative study of sound, question for the friction mallets how do you play them without marking the gong? I have a variety of sizes but I ended up marking my gong which I quickly cleaned. I know some gong players don't mind markings on the gong but I just think there too beautiful to mark but please would love your perception! Thank you again!
FRICTION MALLET. I am making this post in January 2024. The orchestra I play with is accompanying, in performance, its second Harry Potter film, “ Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.” Both this film score and the first call for “rub tam-tam,” or “tam-tam rubbed.” I now understand that the sound call for the next part is to be generated by a friction mallet across the surface of the tam-tam. Just discovering this post this morning and off to our first rehearsal, I plan to try various rubber mallets to see if this produces are desired effect. Hope this is some help to my fellow percussionists up there.
you , like so many other videos i have watched on this all show the same thing , your sitting there , after striking the gong and making such amazing tones/ frequencies , and then sit there perplexed ....... as you should be ......... you have no idea of the leap in tech you are looking / listening to when these gongs sing ..............
классно что где-то есть мир, в котором здоровый дяденька сидит и на полном серьезе рассказывает как разноцветными чупа-чупсами стукать в tam-tam. И это очень нужно ему и всем нам! но конечно смешно..
sorry...nice but...WHY?? why teach something like this, for who, for what?? maybe everybody now can buy a gong and play, maybe everybody became a therapist now? my God. Please... there are too much easy master around the word, please stop it!
it is a valid worry, but in this case, it isn't about teaching others or being an overnight guru. Most people who play gongs never play them for others. So he is giving the basics for someone to go on their own sonic meditation without a master....
Paiste's Symphonic Gong's are unbelievable , their capabilities .
This was the first gong video I watched. Great introduction!
This video is a great informational guide for newly Gong players! Thanks Alexandre!

Robert Plant is enjoying his retirement. Noice.
_"Never crash a gong"_
Drummer and percussionist here, calling bullshit on that one.
Anybody know a good GONG meditation video? **No binary beats, no narrator**
Just a talented musician who takes you on a gong trip
