There are basically two ways to hold the African drum: seated and standing.

Standing drumming requires the use of a strap to hang the drum on your body. There are three types of straps: waist straps, neck straps and shoulder straps, which vary from person to person. When playing, the chest should be raised and the drum barrel should be close to the inside of the legs. When playing drums in a standing position, the drummer has good mobility and can easily enhance his performance during performance.

When playing drums in a sitting position, sit down, relax your legs naturally, and sandwich the drum between your legs. Note: the drum must be tilted at an angle, and the drum surface must be tilted outward. Some drums are equipped with ropes where the legs are clamped, which has friction and makes it easier to clamp the drum. The purpose of the tilt is for comfort while playing and to help release sound from the bottom of the shell. After you become proficient in sitting drumming, you can try standing drumming.

Judging from the digital password teaching from 1234 to 12232 these days, the children have a strong receptive ability and can already hit the rhythm accurately according to the requirements. Today, 41 people played the accompaniment of the song "Little Baby". The intro and interlude were rated 12, and the lyrics were rated 123-. The students' music feeling was very good, although the postures, striking positions and strength patterns were not accurate. The rhythm is completely correct, which also strengthens my confidence. Let's continue tomorrow and upgrade the accompaniment method of "Little Baby" to a new level. The four rhythm patterns can be freely matched. The idea is very beautiful, but I don't know what the actual effect will be? Children, let’s play African drum together tomorrow.
