As a result of comparing the oral sounds of the accompaniment janggu and the Samulnori janggu, the basic oral sounds of both accompaniment janggu and Samulnori janggu use the oral sound 'deong', but the basic oral sounds of the chaepyeon playing method are divided into 'deok' and 'ta'. And the gungpyeon technique is also divided into 'kung' and 'gung'.
Janggu is used throughout traditional Korean instrumental music, such as court music, wind music, folk music, and
shamanistic music, as well as traditional performing arts divisions such as vocal music and dance and Yeonhui (연희). Traditionally the
janggu is played using
yeolchae on the right hand high
pitch area and uses the bare hand on the low pitch area. Such an example can be seen on
pungmul players for a number of
folk songs and shamanistic
rituals. But today, it is common to see the use of
gungchae and
yeolchae together. 'Gungchae' is used to play the low pitch side. With
yeolchae, you can make the sound '''tta(따)',
and with gungchae
sound gung(궁). When you use it at the same time, you can make the sound deong(덩). Janggu'' can be played on the floor such as for traditional
sanjo music or carried with a strap on the shoulder. The way performers carry the Janggu differs from person to person, from region to region and varies depending on the player's taste. The
janggu is usually classified as an accompanying instrument because of its flexible nature and its agility with complex
rhythms. Since the performer can use their hands as well as sticks, various sounds and
tempi, deep and full, soft and tender, and loud sounds, and fast and slow
beats, can be created to suit the mood of the audience. Using this ability, a dextrous performer can
dance along moving their shoulders up and down to the rhythm.
