This summer our 8-10pm class will be focusing on shime, the small tied drum which is usually the highest-pitch instrument in the ensemble. The shime is a very important instrument which often plays the ji or base beat and keeps the whole group together, not unlike a conductor in an orchestra. Our Shime Introductory class will work on the basics of shime technique: proper form for both sitting and standing positions, dynamic range, sound quality, playing with powerful, commanding hits and increased speed. Beginners welcome for our summer session.
