The simple play of cowhide drum is exquisite.

1. For cowhide drums, no matter what notes, the right hand plays the strong beat and the left hand plays the weak beat. For example, quarter notes, |X X| (commonly known as a little bit) are played with a single pestle, that is, with the right hand and double pestle, and both hands are played at the same time; Octave note |XX XX| (commonly known as two ideas), then the right hand has been evenly played;

2, the first eight and the last sixteen notes | XXX XXX | (commonly known as three points), and then the right hand strikes twice in a row, and the left hand strikes; Before 16 octaves |XXX XXX| (also known as three o'clock), the left and right hands lie down, and the right hand hits again;

3, another example is the sixteenth note, |XXXX XXXX| (commonly known as four meanings), that is, in a beat time, the left and right hands evenly alternate beats twice, but the yin and yang drums are not exactly the same. Generally, you can play according to the requirements of the big drum, but when the cymbals are tight, you have to play with your left hand and your right hand.

4. Drum gang: beat the drum gang with the left and right drums to make a creaking sound, such as | beat every beat | beat every beat | beat every beat |O beat |, etc. This style of play is still "hit" with the right hand and "each" with the left hand.

5. Knocking on the edge of the drum: Strictly speaking, this kind of play is not knocking, but using the rebound effect of the drum skin on the drum pestle. That is, hold the drum pestle with both hands, palm up, and destroy it forward to the edge of the drum surface, so that the drum pestle can bounce on the drum surface according to the notes, and it should be clever, crisp and light when striking. For example: | Kuang Kuang O| Tourdur Mine | Tourdur here means beating drums.

6. Drum stick: that is, beat the front bump with the drum according to the rhythm, and beat it left and right on the drum nail to make a sound of | flower flower |.
