SHA!: shout as loud as possible with both hands in the air
Beats that are capitalized: play it with both hands (both dong and tak)
Beats that are bold: play it louder as compared with the other beats
Beats that are italic: play on the part on the drum which is in between the 鼓中间 and the 鼓边
Beats that are underlined: use the bottom of the drum sticks to hit the 鼓中间
dong is when you beat 鼓中间
tak is when you beat 鼓边
drong is three beats of what you have to play at 鼓中间
trak is three beats of what you have to play at 鼓边
tak-dong means tak and dong together
the numbers are the same as the 'dongs'

This is all for the first part of the whole sequence. Once you have famaliarized yourselves, you will find it a lot easier to remember and play it louder! Try to play as loud as you can when necessary during training and do practise when you can! ASK IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY ANY PARTS!! You can ask me, Wenxi or Charmaine 'cause we have learnt this part of the sequence before so they can help you all out!!

This is the full sequence for the drum beats! Yes practise them until you are very familiar with them and do get the rthymn correct, I know many of you still have doubts about some beats, do ask them around and correct them! All the best! :)

This is the complete sequence with the movements added in! Hope that you all will practise and ask if you have any parts that you can't get!
