◈ Small hand
drum player
Small hand drum played in peasant
music is also called "Bubgo"
(a drum used in a temple).
In the Right Region Peasant Music
for Honam, the small drum player wears
con-shaped hat, which is well known
to the public.
This performance has very delicate
and well-developed hand and leg gestures,
which make all the dancing more stylish
and appealing.
Players enter the stage lightly hopping
and show different gestures following
the instruction of the leader of small
hand drum players.
The performance of dancing looks like
flying butterflies to the amusement
and admiration of the audience.

◈ Leader of
the gong players' performance
A tail is attached on the hat worn
by the leader of gong players. In
Right Region Peasant Music the tail
is made of feather of a crane. This
is why it is called "stiff hat".
The player shows various dancing and
playing skills spinning it.
Looking all the dancing skills and
wonderful performance, the audience
gets excited and totally absorbed
into the performance.

◈ Double-headed
drum player's performance
One of the outstanding characteristics
of the Right Region Peasant Music
is that over 80 melodies are played
4 to 5 times in different gestures.
In the past, all the double-headed
drum players performed one by one,
but these days they perform simultaneously.
Various skills are required to play
the double-headed drum.
This performance can be called a flower
of the peasant music since it is filled
and harmonized with rich gestures
and delicate melody play.

◈ Hat with
long tags players' performance
This performance marks the peak of
the whole performance at the end.
All the audience is overwhelmed by
the player's performance when he plays
with the long tails moving around
upward/down, forward/backward, left/right
in every possible direction in all
the acrobatic gestures.
The player can lie on his stomach
on the floor spinning the tails and
stand up slowly still spinning them.
He can also jump between the tails
and cross them. The performance is
wrapped up in a very fast spinning
of the tails.
