Thank you great videos. Please more learning videos on the riq.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them!

I just bought a £12 riq, I am aware it won’t sound great because it’s so cheap but it’s a low investment way to start learning and I’m so excited for it to arrive so I can start learning! I love how it sounds and once I learn how to play and I enjoy it I will buy one of decent quality. Your videos make me so excited to learn!

[@kenshorley]

Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your new riq! I remember my first one was a very basic instrument but it was enough to get me going on the techniques. Have fun!

Thank you for these exercises
But I ask you to do more exercises on Riq
How to strengthen the fingers
And reading the rhythmic notes
With all my thanks and appreciation to you

Khawp Khun Ka thank you from Thailand. I love the way you teach the riq, so easy to understand the technique and rhythm! look forward to your next tutorial. Im buying a riq from Cooperman which do you prefer the weatherking head or renassaunce? thanks Pu

[@kenshorley]

Thanks for the kind words! I have the Renaissance head on my Cooperman Tars but I prefer the Weatherking on the riq. But either one will be great!

[@sirhikandleelaathanarth8936]

@@kenshorley I notice you have a renassaunce head on your riq any particular reason? maybe a little more mellow sound .

[@Saph67]

Thank you very much for your valuable instructions. May I ask what kind of skin (drum head) you use? Is it a natural skin? Can you tune it?

[@kenshorley]

It's a Remo tunable Weatherking head.
