Sifting Rice Akha stylee

We woke to the sound of pummelling, happening in every direction from our bamboo hut. Thunderingly loud and extremely rhymical evry morning at six the Akha people pummel the rice they have picked and then sift it through. Every part of it gets used, the rice for the local families and the husks for pig food. It is really hard to sift the rice , its all in the wrist! I don't have the proper skills, I was dropping it all over the floor!
