We love reading your comments. Remember folks, music is DIFFERENT all around the World, and it’s no different in performing these type of dances too. The video was produced to help those in the UK, associated with this team and not in any way to suggest this is A Defacto method or style. Peace and love.
I play the lion tail and what you have said here is entirely true! Most commendable especially from a Westerner, you must have experienced a lot of Chinese culture in your youth! Well done ! Keep at it !
Very weird. All lion dance drumming music I know are very different. I am aware of the crane mountain (hok san) and the buddha mountain (fat san - the wong fei hong hometown) styles that are practiced in southern china, most of south east asia, hong kong, macau, and anywhere with chinese, but I have never heard of this style. Can anyone please enlighten which style is this?
Jose, thank you for making such a complete video. As you expressed and is clear by the comments, traditions vary tremendously. I have been trying to pinpoint *why* the three five seven star patterns are named those numbers and star. I was curious if you have insight. Why three five seven? Are there three steps or beats or patterns? Why stars? Thank you for any insight.
Hey! The drum patterns are based around 3/5/9 star rhythems I'm told. As the comment to the video, this is VERY MUCH a hybrid style for Western ears and entertainment over a more Traditional style from China. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting :)
Hi, this is a great video. I am trying to follow through but would like to understand what people usually refer to when they say three stars, five star n seven star. Appreciated!
Hi, thks for the reply. I watched that video before but I can only see what he is doing for the three star roll but the 5 stars n seven stars are to fast to for me to figure out what he was doing.
You white boys did a good job, dudes. I watched quite some lion dance tutorial films on TH-cam but most of them are in Cantonese, which is a dialect I, as Chinese from Taiwan whose mother tongue is southern Fujian dialect, cannot understand completely. My English listening comprehension, however, is good enough to understand very well what you are teaching. How sarcastical it is!
It does. Also In Indonedia I believe there are Regional differnces too - just like Japan. Lots of countries have their own version of a Lion Dance, with differnt Lions, Music and style of performances. There is no apparent right or wrong, jus cultural differences and variations :)
The Master of the style of Kung Fu I practice is well - thank you for asking. He is not however a teacher of Lion Dance, as he is more practiced in Unicorn Dance.
Natetural kicks where is your video? I want to see how awesome you are. Be happy that you write anonymously, your master would be ashamed if he would read that haha

Thank you for the very good explain. I've grown up with this music but never really thought about the sequences of the drums.
Hope your week goes great thank goodness it’s all about the rain so I’ll have it done before the day of tomorrow morning

Omg😮😊 i play Chinese Opera Drum too, it's nearly the Style.
Just listened to a lion dance for a new company opening. It sounded bad, so I‘m here checking if it‘s supposed to sound like that.
Great demonstration, but it's snare drum technique, which it too detailed to play along with 4 pairs of fortississimo cymbals and a gong.
Excuse me, what's the size of the drum?
What style is this? I’m more used to hearing sar ping drumming or jow ga drumming, so I’m not so familiar with this style.

Hi Michael. This video may help explain 3, 5 and 7 star patterns: th-cam.com/video/aM4G2u21itE/w-d-xo.html

Great video!

I do Vietnamese Lion Dance Drumming which is very fast

In Thailand it's a bit faster with lots of gong and clapping sounds.

i would say to keep your drumsticks straight like this “ll” not like this “/\” so your drumsticks are harder to touch together
I play lion dance in Singapore and the music is very different
I play lion dance in indonesia and the music is very different
It does. Also In Indonedia I believe there are Regional differnces too - just like Japan. Lots of countries have their own version of a Lion Dance, with differnt Lions, Music and style of performances. There is no apparent right or wrong, jus cultural differences and variations :)
