1.) Important to note is the direction of the rope. By most drums the next knot is already tied. You can undo it to understand the principles better. The starting point is a ready-tied knot.
2.) Guide the rope through the next two vertical ropes
3.) Now you have to thread the rope back, over the last vertical rope, and under the second-last rope again.
4.) Now you must thread the rope over the last two vertical ropes and back out under the next 2 free vertical ropes. If you now pull on the rope, a new knot will form and the tone will rise. The drum should now look like the drum in picture 2.
You know have to repeat step 3.) to make a new knot.
Warning! By too much stretching a tear may appear in the skin. Especially with old skins!!!
