Muahhahahaha... the Egg Shaker is in the house! Finally gotten myself a pair of Jim Dunlop USA EGG SHAKERS in BLACK! The exact pair on my Amazon Wishlist! Thanks to Jock who picked them up at Swee Lee! The eggs are just the right size for the hand and extremely inviting to use. And if you're secretly giggling and thinking that egg shaking is child's play... think again. It is all about adding accents to the rhythm on down beats such as two and four. There is a certain technique to it.
Shaun Schaefer, drummer for Platinum recording artist Blessid Union Of Souls teaches a few tips and tricks on the percussion shakers:
Holding the Egg Shakers
Playing the Egg Shakers
Now to get some real practice so I can decently "shake" a beat or two. Then to add a pair of Maracas into the collection!
LOL and I almost got you a pair on friday when i went to school and told meself to stop by swee lee after class... but forgot to cross the road to head to swee lee... i headed straight home instead.
