Tibetan Singing Bowl

This is very basic and my first attempt at making a Decent Sampler instrument from sampling my Tibetan singing bowls. While not really a musical instrument by conventional standards, it still has some great applications within music or soundscapes with it’s haunting tones and drones. The first DS instrument is me striking the bowl with a mallet which produces that lovely long natural decay (no reverb or treatments). The second DS instrument is me playing the bowl to create a drone. You can hear the wooden mallet scraping and vibrating against the bowl as it makes a circular motion around the rim to create the drone. I feel the mallet noises add a nice natural / organic feel to the sample.
