The 2025 Gong Camp is SOLD OUT- we're currently working through the Wait List

Day sessions are generally focused on techniques, exercises, and drills to enhance skill set and endurance. Sessions are led by internationally recognised Gong teachers Mitch Nur and Michael Bettine ( who both have been playing gongs for over 5 decades each ), Physicist Thomas Orr Anderson who will talk about the science on why Gongs have unique sound signatures and behave the way they do when impacted with a mallet, Mike Tamburo who has just returned with Mitch from touring Europe and is the leading touring Gong player in the world today. This academic approach coupled with skill set development and mentoring is the reason why Gong Camp is the world leader in developing Gong players and setting a standard that is copied by others. Rounding all this out, is a visit by mallet maker John Minks from Deep Space Mallets who will explain how Gong mallets are constructed and used. The program is a deep dive by instructors who want to make better Gong players out of everyone. This program is focused on everything Gong - from Gong Stands, Gong Mallets, and Gongs from all the Gong Cultures found in the world, set up side by side, so students can compare and evaluate them. No program in the world does this. Most programs feature just one style of Gong limiting the student's understanding of Gong Craft internationally. Gong Camp has a collection of Gongs that is museum quality and unparalleled. This year's Special Guest is Rolf Nitsch from Gongland Gongs in Germany
