There are more than 20 kinds of Gu Hang drum scores in Hancheng, which are included in hancheng city Folk Music Collection compiled by hancheng city Cultural Center. There are more than ten kinds of typical drum music, such as tiger grinding teeth, nailing a bar, stomachache, uphill, walking gongs and drums, leaving gongs, four aunts, picking beans and so on. , both performance momentum, and performance skills. "Tiger grinding his teeth" means that the drummer hits the nail on the side of the drum with a drumstick, making a sound similar to that of a wild animal starving its teeth. Realistic simulation, superb skills. Uphill is a technique in which drum teams attack with drums and cymbals. Its style is rough and bold, and its momentum is huge and magnificent, reaching its peak, reflecting a simple, warm and vigorous momentum of the Yellow River Loess. While retaining the original artistic style of snare drum music, Gu Hang in Hancheng keeps pace with the times, especially in the artistic effect of performance, which enhances the grand momentum. When performing, Hancheng drum is always inseparable from "winding the pole", in order to better render the atmosphere and enhance the visual effect. The girl is dressed in colorful clothes and sunglasses, with a long winding pole in her hand, decorated with colorful silk bouquets and a string of silver bells, which is elegant. The camp around the pole echoes the camp of the gongs and drums team from a distance, with fierce drums and cymbals flying. Dozens or even hundreds of flower poles dance up and down on the drummer's head with the drums, just like the water of the Yellow River, which makes the gongs and drums beat harder and harder.
