I've used it a few times in my tracks.Obviously sampled, and not the real deal.
Ill post some of those tracks if I can find them on this computer.
add that with this bass thumb piano, and you got some ugly face syndrome.
hahahaha!
That's actually a tabla tarang. I'm pretty sure it's either eight or sixteen dayan (the right side of the tabla pair) all tuned in a scale. There are very few people in the world who can play it, and I think there is only one living master: Pt. Kamalesh Maitra. He has a fly record out on Smithsonian that has a book with extensive explanation of Tabla Tarang.
I ride for:
Santoor/Hammer Dulcimer:
Glockenspiel:
And empty herbicide tanks.
i see your glockenspiel and raise you one fire organ
how is a traditional wooden guiro inappropriate for a percussion thread?
Anyway, I have one of those wooden guiro fish, i have a peruvian seed shaker which is awesome:
and one of my favorite percussion instruments is the small and simple egg shaker:
