Genshin Impact Sumeru quest guide: Perform according to the drum score

sportskeeda.com:

The final objective of Awakening's Real Sound in Genshin Impact requires the player to "perform according to the drum score." The quest doesn't make the objective too clear at first glance, so some players might have no idea what the proper order is. This guide will simplify everything for you.

You can start with any of the five scores. All locations are marked on your minimap, so you shouldn't have any difficulty finding them. Both the elements and the official name of each Kory Drum are listed in the following sections for the reader's convenience.

"Perform according to the drum score" can be accomplished just by going to any of the five drums and selecting the "Begin Performance" option. Since you're on this guide already, let's start with the Cryo Drum (also known as Korybantes: Vedana).

Here is the order:

This order might seem confusing to players since it's hard to express in terms of timing. You should wait for the glowing ring to appear, use a Normal Attack, then let it appear and disappear again. Wait for a bright yellow aura to appear once more before hitting it with another Normal Attack.

Let the drum glow again before hitting it with a Plunging Attack. The order should look like this:

The rest of this guide won't reference the glowing mechanic to keep things simple, but just know that this is how the drum scores work in this Genshin Impact quest. So if you see "Nothing" again, that just means you have to wait for the glow to appear, disappear, come back, and then do whatever is next on the drum score list.

Here is what you need to do for this drum score:

Now that you know how this mechanic works, the rest of this Sumeru quest is a breeze. This particular pattern is in the same order as the Cryo one.
