An important element in the play is to know where those tones. They are distributed in alternating sequence in a circle around the main middle deepest tone. The tone circle may be present 8 or 9 tones, or in some specific cases some notes on bottom side.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-557\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mishte.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Sequence_EN.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mishte.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Sequence_EN.png 427w, http:\/\/www.mishte.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Sequence_EN-276x300.png 276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Orientation of instrument<\/h3>\n<p>The first point of reference is the mark on flange of instrument.

It is important to know the properly and adequate make a\u00a0sound a tone otherwise\u00a0sound will be muted, or none at all. Membrane of note must freely vibrate, therefore finger can not remain long time on note surface, ideally minimal time and pull it away.<\/p>\n<p>To strike a note\u00a0player can use the inside part of the thumb, or any\u00a0finger. The most commonly used is index and middle finger on both hands, since they are longest. To use finger or thumb it depends which notes are closer to finger that can play particular note to make it easy and pleasant.<\/p>\n<p><em>There are some tips on how to approach in learning proper stroke:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>as wanted to control if iron is hot &#8211; short\u00a0touch<\/li>\n<li>like the one at the last minute changed his mind that he wanted to touch tone and just gentle touched tone during towing arm away<\/li>\n<li>imagine your finger like a little hammer that hits tone field<\/li>\n<li>try to aim to somewhere around the middle of each tone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is suggested to not have\u00a0relaxed body and not so stiff.

Recording of rhythm is basically on each person, most important information rhythm speed in beats per minute (BPM) and rhythm structure (repeating sequences). Some compositions should not necessarily follow regular rhythm which is used in improvised compositions and during free playing. When writing compositions it is most important to capture the theme and tone changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writing via\u00a0notes scores<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this case the player must be able to read standard notation and also be thoroughly familiar with the instrument and tones on it. This method is more difficult to use if a player plays on several instruments that has different scales tuned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By remembering patterns<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this case player remembers certain geometric shapes like triangles or line segments that connect the individual tones in a scale and using such visuals forms remembers each composition. This procedure is used most of time as\u00a0well by beginners and as\u00a0well by advanced players.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writing with numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This method is in long-term most stable for its wide use for its simplicity. Recording\u00a0can be from top to bottom or from left to right, or in any direction in which it is natural for a player to read notes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-557\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mishte.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Sequence_EN.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mishte.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Sequence_EN.png 427w, http:\/\/www.mishte.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Sequence_EN-276x300.png 276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The base for writing in this way the numbering of tones, as mentioned above. In this case, &#8220;0&#8221; indicates Ding, 1 represents deepest tone in tome circle, 2 second deepest tone, and so on up to the highest tone. Based on the distribution of tones it will lead to fact that even numbers are on the left side and odd numbers on the right side.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Note<\/span><\/em>: Some manufacturers have different distribution of tones. For example Spacedrum will have even numbers on right side and odd numbers on left. Alternatively, there is not zig-zag sequence of notes, but in the circle, where the highest and lowest tone are next to each other and other ones are in straight sequence aroung ding.<\/p>\n<p>Example of table in row:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-4\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-4\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">&nbsp;<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">1<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">+<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">2<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">+<\/th><th class=\"column-6\">3<\/th><th class=\"column-7\">+<\/th><th class=\"column-8\">4<\/th><th class=\"column-9\">+<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Right hand<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">7<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">7<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">6<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">6<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">5<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">5<\/td><td class=\"column-8\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-9\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Left hand<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-7\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-8\">2<\/td><td class=\"column-9\">2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-4 from cache -->\n<p>Example of table in column:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-5\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-5\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">&nbsp;<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Left Hand<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Right hand<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">1<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">2<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">4<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">+<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-5 from cache -->\n<p>Recording method can then be also combined and placed in larger units and themes.
