Playing bronze drum has a deep mass foundation among Shui people. In Shui areas, almost every village has bronze drum. It is a popular percussion instrument of Shui people, especially loved by the majority of young people. There are two kinds of bronze drums: male drum and female drum. On the division of the male drum and the female drum, there is a relatively consistent view: the male drum's decorative patterns and body are more exquisite, and the timbre is mellow and loud; the female drum's body is heavier, and the decorative patterns are not so exquisite, and the sound is not as loud as the male drum, and the timbre is also poor. The performance of bronze drum can be divided into two ways: using resonance barrel and not using resonance barrel. The most widely used way of playing is using resonance barrel. The villagers here are playing copper drums with resonance barrels. When it comes to drumming, it always attracts the Shui people in the whole village. Men and women, young and old, have to fight together for a while. Playing bronze drum usually requires two people to cooperate. The drum should be suspended six or seven inches above the ground. The drummer bends down to face the drum. He attaches the rope to his left armpit. He taps the sun pattern on the drum with his right mallet and strikes the drum waist with his left hand holding a bamboo whip. Another person holds a wooden barrel with a flat mouth, and twitches to the belly of the drum as the drum rises and falls. He controls the air flow to adjust the resonance sound, so as to achieve the sound effect of ups and downs and cadence. When playing the bronze drum, the dignified sound of the bronze drum always reverberates over the Shui village for a long time, emitting the fragrance of the ancient and simple national traditional culture.
