BSP Performance Hack
Tambourine Thumb Rolls
Use the jingle pin holes on Black Swamp Tambourines to measure thumb or finger roll length! Allow Junior to demonstrate.
BSP Performance Hack
Tambourine Articulation
Holding the tambourine more flat while playing helps produce a drier (shorter) sound, while holding the tambourine vertically will help produce a wetter (longer) sound.
BSP Performance Hack
Triangle Roll Speed
Keep an eye on your roll speed. Slowing down the strokes can help create a smoother, more consistent roll with a higher quality of sound.
BSP Performance Hack
Soft Triangle Rolls
Angling your beater while playing shortens the distance between the beater and your triangle. Since there's less distance to travel, performing soft, smooth rolls becomes easier!
Concert Castanets
