Purpose
The ultimate heavy metal - Ring the world's heaviest and loudest (unamplified) musical instruments (using rhythm, not music).
A tower bell normally weighs between 8 stone and 1 ton, but can be much lighter or up to 4 tons!)>
Ringing takes skill to swing a bell full-circle and balance it upside down to split-second accuracy, controlled with just a rope!
