Finger Shot
"Play a light shaker on the verse and then go to djembe when the chorus hits. Oh, is there any way that you can keep the shaker going?"
You could grow any extra arm out of your stomach OR use a couple of Finger Shots from Latin Percussion.
Like the bigger brother One Shot, the Finger Shot only produces sound on one surface. When you place the device on your finger with the elastic band (as in the photo), the shaker sound is activated with the downward motion into the drum head or any surface. A striking surface is not even necessary...just wave your hand in rhythm!
Play congas or bongos with a Finger Shot on each hand and there's another layer of sound right in unison with the drums.
I'm keeping a pair in my mallet case.
The only thing I would offer is that you need to practice with the fingershots. The top of my fingers were definitely not used to getting hit on the tops and bottom and would get sore enough to irritate for a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteOther than that minor thing, the fingershots are awesome. I give them as gifts.
