DEGUNG KLASIK: KENDANG
The first of these motives is frequently varied with an extra beat:
or
A • . • p| P P P .
. |p p p
P .1
Often the stick is made to bounce back, to produce a rapid double beat:
The pattern to mark the goong (B) is also used for the initial goong at the
end of the pangkat:

The pattern for the goong may also be played as follows:
or

Here the dung (b) stroke coincides with the syncopated pattern in the
jengglong (described in section 4.2.3), if it is being played.
If pattern A is leading to the goong pattern, it is often preceded by the
following more rapid syncopation:
A B' G
b . p b||

I P P P t| p b . .
This can also be elaborated with extra beats (see below).
