Introduction to Gongs and Drums: Gongs and Drums, also known as "boring gongs" and "divine drums", are popular in Pinghu area, Songjiang, Jinshan and other places.
The singing style of Luogu Shu comes from local folk songs and minor tunes. It is beautiful and melodious, with a strong local flavor, and sounds very friendly. The singing form is simple. The accompaniment instruments are a small flat drum and a small boring gong. The singer holds the mallet in his right hand to beat the drum, and puts the boring gong on the thumb of his left hand. He can sing while playing, and he can sing standing or sitting down.
Since Luogu Shu grew up in rural areas, most of the artists came from rural areas and were familiar with farmers' lives. Therefore, this kind of rap has the characteristics of simple form, popular language, refreshing and lively style, and is loved by farmers. However, because it was mixed with feudal superstition in the past, many artists switched to singing "Cymbal Book", and the number of artists singing "Gong and Drum Book" decreased year by year.
