Gong practices with Samer Ghadry
A 90-minute lesson in gong playing and attunement for newcomers and practitioners. Gong is one of -if not the- most complex instruments in the modern sound healing tool kit. At once and cymbal and a drum, it requires both physical skill and meticulous mentality. In this brief overview, Samer will guide players into the basics in developing a good relationship with gong, going over elements such as stroke types, mallets, tempo, rhythm, and perhaps most importantly, underlying philosophy and attitude around gong playing for sound healing.
