I think that playing those types of drums wouldn’t be too bad or too hard to learn either it might actually be easier than the other African drums. The split drums actually look cool of I could play then than it would be so cool. I like how you use drumsticks instead of your hands because then your hands won't hurt as badly.
ReplyDeletei liked how he tote us it looked vary easy and fun and i liked the louest one sound the best .and i liked how they looked and the drum sticks were cool i liked them 36 i like how all of them sounded and how he played it 48 i also like the cool meroka things that he played at the end i like how they were differnt than our and there awesome.
ReplyDeleteAfter listening to the afercian instrument what I throught that they have best insterment.In there insterment they always have holes in there insterment. I love how there insterment sound and that they have cool things. They can do alsome sounds. I love there sounds and how they play.What I think is that if they had more insterments that will be alsome.I love there way it is made out of like wood. That is why i love musician.
ReplyDeletetheres so many tipes of insterment . i like the forest one of the one made out of a tree and the jambe . the wood one is cool how the tree could turn into a musical insterment amd its cool how you hit in diffrent places it makes difrent sound. who knew that you could turn a tree into a insterment.i think african music is amazing because they use basicly every thing that makes a baet or a sound
ReplyDeleteTo me I do not think it will be easy to learn to play the african drums will not be easy just like that . The only way to get good at it is to practice every chance that you get so that you can get better and better . Maybe some people are very talented and might be able to learn how to play it in one day but for the average person it is going to take more and more practice .
ReplyDeleteI like it for its easy to play and it fun to and listening to the afercian instrument what I think about it is its cool it haves holes in the instrument.And the other instrument it sounds cool it haves rocks in the instrument.When they playd it I think it sound like the others instrument but it looks different then the others. and thats all I have to say.
ReplyDeletei think that it would be kind of hard for me because i am not good with drums. but i still think i could play it though.and if i had a chance to play it in real life and i had a good teaher i think that i could master it.and if it didnt have any sticks to play with i think i could do it way better than with the sticks.
ReplyDeleteI think that its fun to play those type of drums,and it doesn't look that hard to play to. Also it looks like it's heavy but I think that it's light since it's howled out. Then it's also different form the regular type of drums that are used in the United States,and I think that it could also be a new and different experience to people that haven't played the drums or a different instrument. Also I think that it's interesting to learn different types of instruments and you might like to play it just for fun or something else.
ReplyDeletei think that it would be kind of hard for me because i am not good with drums. But i sstill think i could play it though. and if i had a chance to lay with it and i can play it infront of my class and then i can be in a band and i could be a master at doing the drums. so i think i could ractice doing the drums
ReplyDeleteAfter listen to that was great they had nice instruments. I cant play the drums or the trianglie because i was very bad but if i had practice lots of time maybe i would get better. That guy was very talented at playing the instrument and if i had a teacher like him i could really learn a lot from him.
