But this uses a, tambour is the different sounds you get from an instrument it’s what makes a trumpet say, sound different than a flute. For sticks you’ve got a rubbing sound, and different types of taps. Also, volume because it’ll there’s a soft component, and a loud component it just goes like this, two little sausages frying in a pan, one goes pop, and the other goes BAM!

Just be careful don’t let them hit their fingers because they’ll be crying after that. Make sure they’re out here on the ends of the sticks, but it’s an easy way to get kids playing, without really a steady beat or anything. But you still get soft, loud, and the different sounds from the sticks. And get, away to get them involved.
