HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is the lead drummer and stands facing the group.

2

The leader taps out a short rhythm on the drum.

3

The rest of the group claps or stomps the same rhythm back in unison.

4

The leader gradually lengthens and speeds up the pattern each round.

5

Any player who breaks rhythm sits down; the last ones still matching the beat share the win.
