5.4.4.1. An African Rhythm
The example below is a West African rhythm called Djaa Siuiri. The first two voices/rhythms,
Drum 1 and Drum 2, are usually played on djembes. The third voice/rhythm is often played
on a sangban, a medium-sized dunum drum.
To program this rhythm into the KeyStep Pro, you might want to read 'S' as a drum hit with
maximum velocity and 's' as a drum hit with medium velocity. The same applies to 'T' and 't'.
S = right-hand slap
s = left-hand slap
T = right-hand resonant tone
t = left-hand resonant tone
x = sangban hit
