The Taiko Drum to Start and End class
|
The following drumbeat is the call to a practice, and the
end to a practice that accompanies all training sessions. The
drum is beaten by the most senior person in the line up. One
beat on the drum represents one syllable of the Drum Call
slogan. The beat is to be slow and steady, the last line be-
coming more rapid after the set beat to end in a roll, and
one final beat. At the beginning of the practice the beats are: 4 beats, with a pause after each 4, three times; pause; 6 beats, with a pause after each 6, 3 times; with the beat becoming more rapid on the completion of the last 6 to end in a roll and a final beat. At the end of the practice the beats are: 3 beats, with a pause after each 3, 3 times; pause; 7 beats, with a@ pause after each 7, 3 times; with the beats becoming more rapid on the completion of the last 7 beats to end in a roll and a final beat. |
