Noticed in pictures and videos that Steve has a gong set up behind his drum set. Which song does he use it for?

He hits it whenever he sees Jon nodding off.

I could be wrong, but I think a gong on stage would vibrate and resonate somewhat just from the drums and and instruments being played there...maybe that's the reason. Perhaps it adds something to the live sound.
