HOW TO PLAY
1
Line up drummers in a moving column with a designated lead drummer at the front.
2
The lead drummer starts a simple repeating beat that the rest of the line must lock into as they march forward.
3
Every few steps, the lead drummer introduces a short rhythmic variation that ripples backward through the line, player by player.
4
Non-drummers walk alongside adding footwork or claps that match the beat's energy.
5
The march ends when the group reaches the final point of the route, finishing together on one strong final beat.
