African drumming

Hi guys! On Thursday, 16th of May the seniors had African drumming. As we entered the hall for African drumming, our drum teachers were demonstrating how to play the drums. There were about 30 drums on the ground, we had to pair up because there was not enough drums for all of us. Grayson and I paired up together. The people who worked for African drumming told us the name of the drum that we had. They also said that what tribe in Africa the drum had originated from .

They put us in groups, team one and team two (I was in team two). Each team had one song to do. When they told us what to do, we started playing on the drums. When each team started playing on the drums the sounds started to weave together. There were two beats, one was a loud bang and the other one was a soft bang. The sides of the drum created a soft bang while the loud bang can be made by hitting the middle of the drum. The organisation was called African drumming they also had work shops you could join. I enjoyed how the  songs wove together when you played.
