This study analyses the comparison of the southern west Jin-Do drum dance and the southern east Mil-yang give drum dance which has its own locational distinction and developmental procedure.
The origin of Jin-do drum dance comes from the last act of the theatrical dance Jin-Do Dasire during the three nations period.
It had formed as a recreational role but had been influxed into field hymn to enhance the field labor by following the drumbeats.
Mil-Yang five drum dance had formed during the three provincial period as a ritual ceremony for the supplication of the harvest. Also it had formed as a recovery of the healthy life by dissolving the repression from the ruler by beating the drum.
Both of these drum dances have similarities but have different origin motivations.
In the form of Jin-Do drum dance, there are variety of patterns, subtle rhythms and high technical skilled movements, in which artistic value is hidden.
On the other hand, in the Mil-yang five drum dance there are simple movement patterns with one count of beating, but the movements possess natural simplicity and dynamics.
Performing Jin-Do dance, a drum is carried in the same way like so called Jang-Go.
Instead of two drum sticks are used in Jin-do dance, in Mil-Yang dance there is only one stick is being used.
These instrumental differences indicate that the Jin-Do dance reflects the social environment.
In Jin-do Drum dance, there is no limitation not only of the number of members and the number of drums but also no differentiation of the gender as well. Contrary in Mil-Yang five Drum dance only men can attend, and there is storing limitation of the playing participants.
However, besides the differences, two dances share some similarities. praying the nature's harvest and reflects the simplicity of peasant's movements. Beating drum, farmers threw away their labor repression nad sublimating to the tool of play.
