You talking high level and don’t even know it lol I love it 🔥🤌🏽

Yes sir. This is called cymatics. You capture the patterns in the bowl that the vibrations form

best tip I have discovered and taught to others that seems to fix many issues is instead of keeping your palm/hand flat balancing the bowl, try bending both the hand and the fingers back down towards the ground as far as is comfortable for you. This takes a small amount of pressure away from contacting the bowl and seems to make a massive difference in how easy it is to begin singing and stay singing smoothly. The chatter and rattling means you are not playing correctly. You need to adjust the pressure and the speed depending on how much the bowl is already singing to avoid the chatter/rattling and to be able to smoothly crescendo and decrescendo on the bowls at will. Also, try different mallets, different size, materials, and shapes play differently on different bowls of different material, shapes, and sizes. Don't assume you automatically have the most optimal mallet for your bowl. Go into a store that sells bowls and mallets and try a bunch to find the one that works the best for you and your bowl. As to how to hold the mallet. You can watch some tibetan singing bowl vids or documentaries but what I've learned is that there are multiple ways and what works best for one person and their bowl and mallet combo is not always the same for another person. Try out a bunch of ways but I would add that full arm movement generally works better for most people than isolated wrist movement so hold the mallet in a way or ways that allow you to generate and sustain whole arm movement circling the bowl. Practice both directions and find what works best for you. Some people like two fingers, some prefer to hold with their entire first, some hold loosely, some hold tighter. Experiment! Have fun learning. I was not a natural. Took me weeks to connect with my first small tibetan bowl and learn how to make it sing consistently and in the manners I wanted it to. Along the way I discovered the tricks and that there are actually multiple fundamental pitches on most singing bowls, I mean you can rub around the bowl at one speed and pressure and consistency and get consistently say a G note (throat chakra) in Concert pitch and with a different speed and pressure get a consistent Bb note maybe (Crown Chakra is B/Bb or 3rd eye is A/A# =Bb). One more key, to get the bowls started singing, in addition to bending the hand back when balancing the bowl, it is also quite important to keep a consistent speed and pressure when rubbing around the bowl ---and ASSUME it will "catch", "Ignite the sound" and begin singing because as I learned singing bowls are a bit like driving a boat ---you turn the steering wheel properly and then maintain that while you wait for the maneuver to begin/kick in to action. A singing bowl will often be playing already before you hear the audible to a human ear sounds ----so assume it is starting and keep rubbing around consistently for 20-30 seconds and you will most likely hear it audibly by then, if not, also assume it is working and slightly increase the pressure and/or speed or decrease the speed you are circling the bowl. You can also try changing the angle of the mallet but that is less a problem if you are doing the other things I described. Good luck!

OMG why so?
