She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain is a rousing American folk song rooted in African-American spiritual tradition, long a staple of campfire sing-alongs. On the steel tongue drum its energetic, onward-charging melody rings out with bright, happy tones. The brisk tempo and repeated rhythmic patterns give easy-level players a fun, momentum-building challenge.
