Wow! I have been playing riq for around 10 yrs and have done some teaching of doumbeck, frame drum and riq. This video does an excellent job of demonstrating the technique very clearly and constantly throughout the playing of the rhythm. As a student, the teacher can tell you, and show you but sometimes it doesn’t ‘click’. Then you watch another player, instructor and you go ‘ah-ha’, now I get it. Layne Redmond, Glen Velez, Yosef Sheronick, Karim Nagi all demonstrate this technique. Yet this video may make it easier for some people to understand the technique. Very clean sound and great video editing. The camera positions are excellent, clearly showing the ‘throwing’ of the index finger for the doum sound. So many people want to ‘tap’ or ‘pat’ the skin.
I'm more used to traditional concert tambourines but that was great. Never played one but I think I'll need to give it a try. Really interesting! Thanks.
Cok tesekkur ederim sistemli bilgi sunusunuz icin. Akordunu nasıl yapicaz bilgi verir misiniz.. bir de 2 zamanlıdan 10 zamanlıya kadar şarkılarla örnek verilebilir mi ?
Hi. Regional variations in the names of the drum strokes are common. Pa is distinct from Tek in this case in order to distinguish the muffled tone from the resonant tone around the edge of the drum.

Thank you so much for these videos! Is your hand flicking the cymbals?
Yes! The ring fingers on each hand can play strokes directly on the jingles/cymbals.
Awesome! Can you make a video on soft position?
Hi Adam. Yes, that's a great idea for a riq video. I'll see what I can do!

We call the pa tek. Why do you call it pa?
Hi. Regional variations in the names of the drum strokes are common. Pa is distinct from Tek in this case in order to distinguish the muffled tone from the resonant tone around the edge of the drum.
