Scale: A Minor Pentatonic (A3, C4, D4, E4, G4, A4, C5, D5). A widely used musical scale. A Minor is the relative Minor of C Major and known as a "natural" Minor. The word "pentatonic" comes from the Greek word pente meaning five and tonic meaning tone. It is a musical scale that consists of five notes within one octave. Because of their arrangement, pentatonic scales are often used to introduce beginners to music. There are no wrong notes, play any note in any order and this drum will sound great! Playing with mallets: Our mallets are designed to create a very clear tone. When using mallets, hold the mallet lightly and let it drop onto the note. This creates the ideal tone. Playing with hands: Like all musical instruments, it takes practice to learn. To achieve the hand playing technique, use the pad of only one finger to strike the note. Use a wrist motion to slap the finger off of the note. Start learning on the largest notes and then once you have good technique, move to practicing on the smaller notes. Most people take a few days to a week of daily practice to get the hand playing technique.
