HOW TO PLAY
1
A lead drummer sits facing the group and establishes a steady base rhythm.
2
The group claps or taps the base rhythm together in response.
3
The lead drummer periodically breaks into a short improvised solo phrase.
4
The group must return to the base rhythm cleanly right after each solo ends.
5
Rotate the lead role so several players get a chance to improvise their own solo phrase.
