The "split-finger" or "split-hand" technique is a common drumming technique (used mainly on Egyptian style goblet drums and Indian drums like tabla and kanjira) which was made popular by the famous Turkish drummer, Mısırlı Ahmet. Mısırlı Ahmet studied and practiced drumming in Egypt, hence 'Mısırlı' (the Egyptian). There are various ways of implementing the split finger technique; using one hand, or interlacing the hits using both hands. The one hand split finger. This involves striking the rim of the drum head (or a bit further down) with a downwards (or diagonal) movement of the index finger of your ornament hand (that is the left hand for right-handed people, or the right hand for left-handed people) and from there, with no extra movement, bringing your ring finger up with a slight twist to strike the rim (or close to the rim). When this is done correctly each hit should sound like a regular "ka" (which is a standard rim hit with the ornament hand). The two hand split finger. This is a combination of right and left hand strikes. The table below shows the most common ways that it is done. Note: A side-to-side motion with the hands is more ideal and efficient when doing the two hand split finger (for speed and comfortability). Also note: a "Tek" is a standard rim hit with the main hand (not ornament). ---- 1. Index Finger, Index Finger, Ring Finger, Ring Finger RIGHT HAND LEFT HAND RIGHT HAND LEFT HAND ---- 2.

Note 2: There is a more efficient way of doing the split hand technique, which doesn't allow the fingers or wrists to become sore, and doesn't involve as much wrist movement as the above mentioned way. This is done by using a more 'side to side' movement than an 'up and down' movement with your wrists. This generally increases speed without hurting the rists. ==Links== *(Split-Finger technique on the Dumbek ) *(Turkish Split-Finger Technique - scroll down for detailed descriptions and comments ) *(Egyptian Split-Finger Technique - you may need to scroll down for interesting details about various musicians and their own versions of it ) *(Darbuka Split-Finger Technique ) *(Instruction on the Turkish Split-Finger technique by Raquy ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Split-finger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
