African drum holding mode

There are basically two ways to hold African drums: sitting drums and standing drums.

Single-mouth drums need to use straps, and the drums are hung on the body. There are three kinds of suspenders: waist hanging, neck hanging and shoulder hanging, which vary from person to person. Hold your chest out and stick your drum to the inside of your leg when playing. When drumming standing, the drummer has good mobility, which is easy to enhance the expressive force when playing.

When using the sitting drum, sit, relax your legs naturally, and put the drum between your legs. Note: the drum must be tilted at a certain angle, and the drum surface is tilted outward. Some drums have a rope at the place where they pinch their legs, which has friction and is easy to pinch the drums. The purpose of tilting is to be comfortable when playing, which is conducive to the release of sound at the bottom of the drum cavity. Only when you are proficient in sitting drums can you try to stand drums.

Judging from the digital password teaching from 1234 to 12232 these days, the children are very receptive and can play the rhythm accurately as required. Today, 4 1 person sang the song "Little Baby". The prelude and interlude are played at 12, and the lyrics are played at 123. The students' music feels very good. Although the posture is not accurate, the hitting position is not accurate, and the law of strength is not accurate, the rhythm is completely correct and my confidence is strengthened. Let's continue tomorrow and give it to "little baby" Children, let's play African drums together tomorrow.
