5.4.4.1. An African Rhythm

The example below is a West African rhythm called Djaa Siuiri. The first two voices/rhythms,

Drum 1 and Drum 2, are usually played on djembes. The third voice/rhythm is often played

on a sangban, a medium-sized dunum drum.

To program this rhythm into the KeyStep Pro, you might want to read 'S' as a drum hit with

maximum velocity and 's' as a drum hit with medium velocity. The same applies to 'T' and 't'.

S = right-hand slap

s = left-hand slap

T = right-hand resonant tone

t = left-hand resonant tone

x = sangban hit
