Does anyone have any good techniques for playing the kit while playing 1/8 note patterns on a tambourine?
I fake this all the time.. Playing percussion with my left hand (cowbell, claves, tambourine, shakers).. And with my right hand I play the kit; usually hats and snare patterns with tomms and cymbals thrown in for good measure.So.. I have lots of ways of covering tamb parts.. Either a small tamb mounted on the hat and either tapping it with my left hand or shaking it using my left foot .. Usually 1/4 note patterns with the foot... But here is the issue..to pull off Ramblin man by the Allman Bros... It needs a constant 1/8 groove on the tamb... Coupled with a great groove on the kit. I can almost get there by playing the full groove using my hands on hat and snare.. Andwisk shaking the tamb on my hats by playing 1/4 notes with my left foot.. Its pretty close to the original sound and feel.. But I Wish i could get a little more tamb shake out of my foot... Orr some other technique like tie a strings of beads onto my leg or grow another limb! But are there any other magic solutions out there?
