    I mean not disrespect but the appeal of this drum completely eludes me.

    Typically used in brazilian bateria. Other than that its mostly a sound fx. Pretty sweet instrument in my opinion, but not very practical for everyday use.

    RATT, I agree with you that I just can't think of a moment when that drum would fit into something that I would play. I'm sure it has it's place . . . just not for me.

    Ok, I got it! This instrument would work in a funk/groove type beat. One with the LP record played forward and backwards, with rap hip hop vocals.

    I think I could duplicate any sound this drum makes with my hand and armpit.

    midgard that was indeed musical unlike the other vids I have seen of this instrument. Thanks for posting. I really love learning about exotic percussion instruments.

    Pastor you caught my bluff. I am useless at making armpit noises.

    BongoCajon next time you get up can you swing by the kitchen and get me one of those?

    I like the video midgard posted much better because of the other instruments involved .

    By itself .......I would think it to get pretty nerve-racking after a couple minutes . It reminds me of some of the kids toys that you need to remove batteries from on occasion .
