There's the Rub: Superballs/Flumi 2022

Looking at the analytics for my YouTube™ videos, one of the consistently top viewed videos of 2021 was, "Working with Gongs #3: Superball Friction Mallets/Flumi", from Aug 14, 2011. A lot has happened in the world of gongs and the world of friction mallets/flumi in those 10 years since that video, so I thought it was time to update things, as I have had 10 more years of experience, and there is now a wide variety of commercially made flumi to choose from. I first give an overview of the various types of flumi we can find today, then I talk about different grips & technique, demonstrating all of this in detail. It's a long video (just under 1 hour), so grab a fresh cuppa and some snacks, then dive right into the world of flumi and gongs… My thanks to Paiste for the gongs, Balter mallets and Gongs Unlimited/B Love for the flumi, and superball manufacturers everywhere! ~ MB As always, you can find me at: http://www.gongtopia.com ******************************************************** If you have any questions, or any topics you would like to see me cover, put them in the comments below. ⬇︎ Hit 'Subscribe' if you like this weekly series.
