That's Adam in the video - he's my Meinl rep..
It works like a dualist too- the up/down motion. so.... it is cheating?? : )
I think it's a neat idea so I made my own. I can also play a block or cowbell, or remove the striker and just play the cabasa.

Yeah, even a real hand cabasa should be played in one direction only.
0_0 I'm sure your staff are perfectly qualified, hope I didn't offend you.
But anyway the whole idea is very cool. It works like a dualist too- the up/down motion. so.... it is cheating?? : )
No prob. Adam is a great musician actually. He's a whiz on hand percussion. This sounds like a joke but it's not - he'll kick your @ss on a skinned tamborine. Ever seen a "real" tamborine player?? ;-)
hey dmc, how did you make yours?
can i see some up close pics?

How do you think using a pedal with a strap compares with a chain or direct drive pedal?
Does yours play in both directions?
Here it is. You may need a vise and hacksaw to cut the carriage bolt. The method is probably similar for many different pedals. Obviously, you will need to take the cabasa and pedal into a hardware store to assemble all the correct parts and check fit. You will need LocTite to keep the cabasa from loosening during use. This mod is completely reversible and requires no modification of the pedal itself.
