Raise your hand every time you hear this rhythm pattern in the music? (Even if it’s only a small chunk of it and not the whole pattern!)


Drumming rules

1. Gently use chopsticks or hands to play rhythms on a plastic bowl or container. 2. Play the exact rhythm asked. 3. Go to rest and playing position right away. 4. If I call on you to play out loud, UNMUTE! :)
