The basic skills of the tambourine can be divided into the following categories:Hit, Roll, Finger Roll, Thumb Roll, Wrist/Knee, etc. The use of the occasion is different, according to the volume, speed, timbre, etc. to be able to freely convert various skills Caixing. Before discussing several techniques, it is important to pay attention to the posture when holding the tambourine. Since the bell will shake and reverberate, maintaining the tambourine at a 45-degree angle will keep the bell not too short or too long.

Dotting

Usually, the tambourine is held and rolled with the left hand, and the rhythm is played with the right hand. From low voice to loud voice, basically use the front end of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger to hit, and the position of hitting is between the rim and the center of the drum. Closer to the middle (the drumhead is louder). When it gets louder, we can make a fist and hit with the flats in the first and second knuckles. It felt like knocking on the door. At this time, the sound will become louder, and the resonance sound of the drum head will also become louder.

Finger Roll

Put your thumb under your middle finger to support the strength of your middle finger. During the round tone, push the fingers along the drum frame from bottom to top, and the contact position of the fingers is the middle of the fingertip and the pulp of the finger. Try a few times to master the moderate friction, and you can naturally practice. The Roll starts with a little bit of emphasis, like the snare and timpani rounds.

Thumb Roll

Same as Finger Roll, just use the tip of your thumb instead. Both of these techniques are used by some people, so find the one you like and practice it well. Except for the thumb, the other four fingers move along the drum frame together (without touching it), so that the four fingers can quickly turn to the drum surface to stop the wheel sound when it stops.

When fast and quiet

You can roll the towel into a long shape, turn the tambourine over and place it on the towel, and use the fingertips of both hands to hit the drum frame. At this time, the sound will be extremely small, and only the sound of the bell can be heard, not the sound of the drum surface. .

When fast and loud

When one hand is too late to hit, we start to use the knee. The tambourine can be drum-side up or drum-side down, depending on personal preference. First make a fist with your hand, use the whole wrist to swing for the first time, and then hit the knee with the entire tambourine face down with your left hand. It should be noted that the place where the hand strikes and the place where the knee strikes is just across the drum surface. Symmetrical position. Adjust the angle of the tambourine slightly until the hands and knees produce the same tone. As for the left-footed chair, I think the drum chair for kids is a great fit, both in terms of size and adjustable height.

In addition, it should be noted that the tambourine is easy to fall behind the orchestra, because the bell will sound a little later than the drum surface, so when the orchestra is playing, pay attention to playing a little in front of the beat, so that the sound of the bell will match the orchestra. put them together.
