Godo (Open Tone) is played by extending the middle finger to the lower part of the hand on the drum, with the thumb excluded. This produces an open, resonant sound. Pa/Ta (Sharp Tone/Slap) This is described as a slap, but with a specific tilted hand position where the whole action begins with the little finger, distributing the impact across multiple fingers to prevent pain. Thumbs are excluded.
