How to play the shekere

The Latin Percussion (LP) website has this, but it is a bit hard to find.

hiya ..my shekere is slightly different to yours, as it has a hole a fat bottom end as well and beads are wrapped around as normal and along string is attached to the net? why and they seem looser than urs.... many thanks dave ps great video

@sambasoldave - Not sure why the design on yours is different, but I have a few different shekeres (two artificial and one natural gourd) and they each have a different amount of "looseness" to the beaded net. The LP (like the one shown in the video) has the tightest net of all of them. By the way, I am not the man in the video, I just found it online and thought it might be useful.

Might be a little hard to transport to gigs. :)

It can't be much weirder than the flower-pot xylophone (see YouTube: d0_qIk1GCs4).
