Korean Traditional Drum - the Buk



the Buk

How to Play

The buk can be played using one or two sticks. When playing folk music, people will hit the drum with a stick using their right hand and hit the other side with their bare hand. In court music, both sticks are used to produce a variety of sounds. 

Increasing or decreasing the amount of force used when hitting the drum can change dynamics. Hitting the drum in different spots will change the sound as well. By hitting the drum on its ridges, a clicking sound can be produced, and each side of the drum has its own unique pitch. 

An alternate method of playing is also to hit the two sticks together to form interesting rhythms and create a clicking sound that is a little louder than the sound produced by hitting on the ridges. 

The buk can be held with a strap that goes over one's shoulder so that the person can walk and dance with the instrument while playing. At other times, the buk is held stationary with an elevated cradle so the person playing remains in one place for the duration of playing. 

 Multiple buks can be used to provide a variety of sounds in a piece performed by one artist. The buks will be held up in the air with the help of supporting beams, and the player will twist their body to play the drums consecutively.
