@chaudchaudchaud It is called a Caxixi. My particular one is a Toca, however LP does make one too. Theirs is a leather bottom, mine is a plastic. For acoustic sets I like leather, it is more subtle, but I always have the plastic because it cuts through more with a full band. I did not have the LP at the time I made this.
Hey I played this song for church this morning after watching this youtube video for several days in a row, haha (it sounds so good!). Anyway, I have some questions. First, I noticed that you have a different mic on your djembe on top that what I've seen on your video about how to mic a djembe. Also, the bass on your djembe sounds great. Is that because its mic'd too on the bottom? Or is that just its natural boom? I've seen that djembe for about $350, does that sound like a reasonable price?
@Puritan830 First of all, I am blessed that you used my idea in your worship. That's basically why I make these videos!! The mic I used in these videos is a Shure Beta 98d/s. Its a pretty pricey mic that I usually only use for my congas in loud stage situations. However the record-ability of this mic is outstanding, hence why I used it to record the sound in these videos:) I actually forgot to mic the bottom, and the bass was picked up mainly by my overhead, which is a Rodes Nt1a.
@Puritan830 Also if you can get my djembe for $350, DO IT!! that's almost $100 less than I payed for it!!! The warm tones it gives makes it such an excellent djembe. I do get some power bass off of it too. Used to make the wires on my drummers snare buzz everytime i hit it:)
Check you out !! Just found you again tonight out of the blue and now see a whole different side of you ! Way cool , the box you played in the other video's is so cool ..
Hi, what is that shaker style instrument called? Do Latin Percussion sell it?
