[HAH. No, he can feel that reluctance hanging thick in the air. That just makes him even more eager to goad her into this, honestly. He laughs and waves a hand at the audience to get them to chill with the chanting for a second so Daria can actually hear him.

Here, hold them like this. You're going to want a more relaxed grip than with a sword, but tight enough so they don't go flying when you swing your arms. [Might as well take the opportunity to mime the movements while he's on the subject.] Shoulders nice and loose, feet apart, like this. Don't try to strike through the drum... you want it to bounce back nice and quick so you don't mess up your tempo. Watch. Ha!
[He drums out a very quick little beat before tossing the sticks into the air and catching them a few times. Nah, it's not part of the lesson, he's just showing off. For her, for the audience, for himself, whatever.]
Even a song from your homeland should be simple enough on these babies. So.
