HOW TO PLAY
1
Players sit in a circle with a drum or drumming surface in front of each of them.
2
A caller in the center starts a simple rhythm, and the circle claps or taps it back together.
3
The caller then points to one player, who must improvise a short solo rhythm for a few beats.
4
The whole circle repeats the soloist's rhythm back before the caller passes the spotlight to a new player.
5
Continue rotating solos around the circle until everyone has had a turn to lead.
