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.

What a great lesson! I learned a lot! I think it'd be great if you could post more Riq lessons.😍

Thanks for this precious lesson
