Basic teaching techniques for playing the waist drum are as follows:

1. Hand clapping method: palms of both hands facing each other, gently tap both sides of the waist drum to produce a crisp sound.

2. Swinging method: Hold the drum frame with both hands and shake it left and right alternately, so that the drum head hits the palms repeatedly to produce different sound effects.
