Honami

So much happened today...

Honami

Not only was the offer we received regarding FizzYum Cider a wonderful surprise, we got to have a fun party in SEKAI too.

Honami

Listen

And the stories about our childhood were so nostalgic.

Honami

Listen

Listening to Ichika reminded me of when I first learned to play the drums...

Music Teacher

Alright, Mochizuki, are you ready to start learning how to play the drums?

Little Honami

Listen

Yes, I'm ready!

Music Teacher

Ah, excellent.
Then, let's begin by teaching your hands how to create a steady rhythm.

Music Teacher

I'll start the metronome...
You tap the snare, okay? That's the leftmost drum.

Little Honami

Listen

O-Okay! I'll try...!

Sound Effect: Play

Little Honami

Listen

(So... I'm supposed to tap the drum whenever it clicks, right?)

Sound Effect: Play

Little Honami

Listen

I didn't know it made this kind of sound!

Music Teacher

Hehe. It's nice, right?

Music Teacher

There's a way to make it produce an even more fun sound. I'll show you that a little later.

Music Teacher

But before I do, you should first learn what playing the drums entails.

Little Honami

Listen

What it entails...?

Music Teacher

Yes. I'm sure you've seen other people play the drums before, but you play using both hands and both feet.

Music Teacher

Try tapping the cymbals to your left like you did with the snare drum just now.

Little Honami

Listen

Okay!

Sound Effect: Play

Little Honami

Listen

Oh, I thought it would be much louder...
It produces more of a clink instead of a clang.

Music Teacher

So, you can produce different kinds of sounds with those cymbals.

Music Teacher

See the pedal at the bottom?
Try tapping them again after depressing that.

Little Honami

Listen

Umm... The pedal...? Oh, this one?

Sound Effect: Play

Little Honami

Listen

Huh? It sounds completely different...!

Music Teacher

See what I mean? So, let's try putting what you just learned into practice.

Music Teacher

Next, I want you to tap like normal and then depress the pedal.

Little Honami

Listen

Okay!

Sound Effect: Play

Music Teacher

Yes, that's it! Now repeat what you just did.

Sound Effect: Play

Music Teacher

Good! Alright, now, I'll play something while using every piece of this kit.

Sound Effect: Play

Little Honami

Listen

Wow...!

Little Honami

Listen

(This seems really cool all of a sudden...!)

Little Honami

Listen

(And you can produce all these different sounds at the same time...!)

Little Honami

Listen

(Incredible...! This is what you can do on the drums...!)

Music Teacher

Alright, why don't we stop here for today.

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Music Teacher

Keep practicing what I taught you to do on the snare drum today. It's okay to go at your own pace.

Little Honami

Listen

I will!

Little Honami

Listen

Thank you very much for doing this.
I had a lot of fun!

Music Teacher

Hehe. I'm glad to hear that.

Music Teacher

I was actually worried whether I'd be able to teach you properly because it'd been a while since I last played the drums.

Little Honami

Listen

Oh, did you use to be in a band...?

Music Teacher

Yes, I was in the Light Music Club during high school.

Music Teacher

I don't know how good a teacher I'm going to be, but I promise to do my best to keep nurturing your interest in playing the drums.

Little Honami

Listen

Thank you! I also promise to do my best!

Honami

Listen

Right off the bat, that teacher showed me just how much fun it is to play the drums...

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Honami

Listen

I was so worried at first, but that quickly turned into wanting to practice and get better.

Honami

Listen

Such a wonderful teacher.

Honami

Listen

I wonder if you still remember me.

Honami

Listen

No, you don't have to remember me. I just hope that you get a chance to hear our song someday.
