HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit in a circle, each holding a drum or percussion instrument.

2

One player begins a simple rhythmic call, and their neighbor must answer with a matching or complementary beat.

3

The call-and-response pattern travels around the circle, growing more complex each lap.

4

A player who breaks rhythm restarts the pattern from a simple call.

5

Continue until the group agrees the rhythm has built to its liveliest point.
