Super merci 🙏✨️🌿
@@dyanecastangia8965 😁👌
great video and funny too and very entertaining. I have difficulties with what you called the "air turn". It is something i want to learn. I will check if you have other videos on that
@@mikeianosiproject-acoustic5924 I'll be filming a tutorial for airturns and reverse airturns in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
@@PeteGalea your t-shirt is amazing 🙂
I believe that this is a polyrhythm of 5/4 superimposed on swung 16/16, together creating a 1-2-3, 1-2 pulse.
@@WlSDOOM not at all I'm afraid. It's straight 16th notes in 4/4. No polyrhythms at all present here.
Merci beaucoup 🙏 trop bien ✨️🪷
Just got a pair. Very challenging so far but thank you for sharing.
Thanks Pete. Too much fun but people in my house keep shouting ' STOP THAT KNOCKING NOISE!' :) So now I go for walks ......
@@AndyCopps haha we all feel your pain!! Keep practicing no matter what ;)
@PeteGalea my argument of 'I'm practicing' isn't cutting it. Oh well. Takings my balls for a walk just doesn't seem the appropriate thing to say.
Cool pasta🙏🪷🌿
Trop bien le ralenti !!! Merci 🙏 🙏🙏✨️✨️ C'est bien pour apprendre 😊🪷🌿
@@dyanecastangia8965 😁👌
Thank you! This is an excellent vid!
@@lonesomeacestringband thank you! Glad you like it
Can you recommend any good lessons I just got a set of these the. Other day and I have loved this instrument since I first seen it Any and all information greatly appreciated 🙏❤
@@trickeyt.v96 check my channel! I've got lessons there with more to come as well :)
what size balls do you recommend - 5cm diameter? 4cm ? 3cm?
@@ecdysview I believe my first set was 4.5mm
I just bought kauss kauss ,but I feel I may need to change the length of the rope ,what is the ideal length?
@@trickeyt.v96 I'm gonna make a video explaining that very soon! Trial and error really, see what works for you but when holding the shakers, about one finger worth of space between the rope and your knuckles is a good starting point.
Can anyone tell mem if they've tried different models and/or materials ; I've bought mine but find they "bounce" too much ad can't catch them under little finger. Obviously, being a beginner, I don't know if it's me or just cheap material, are they too big for my hand etc etc......Thanks for any feedback,
Merci 🙏🪷🌼
@@dyanecastangia8965 de rien :)
I tried and it is really hard to keep shaking while doing the click clack lol It will take a lot of practice, so yeah don't underestimate that :D
so good ❤
@@seepepper7447 cheers :)
Great stuff man. I'm a multi instrumentalist and I tend to learn things myself and usually by ear alone. However, this instrument is deceptively simple! And your detailed yet laidback approach. You provide the small technical details while reminding us to "relax", which a perfectionist like me needs to hear! Thank you for these videos, brother!
@@IanMHaraldsonDecker thanks for your comment. Glad you're finding my content helpful. Enjoy practicing!! :)
Kiffness brought me here
Thank you. love your polyrhythm tutorial💘
Thank you so much for this lesson! I just bought some quiet cork asalatos and immediately found this video. I am a percussion teacher and I love how you explained everything in your video. Thank you so much for sharing things you've learned. I can tell I'm going to have fun learning how to play these. ❤
@@cherrhythm glad you like the video. Thanks for watching and enjoy your practice! 😁
I just bought one today... maybe i should've bought two...
This is the 14th video of basics on Asalato and, by far, is the easiest to understand. You have the patience to teach the minimum details. Great video!
@@marcellomarosti5169 thanks! I'm glad it was helpful. I really enjoy teaching :) have fun practicing!
Omg you are a savior! I've been stuck for days trying to figure out what's wrong and just watching this video I feel like I finally unlocked the asalato technique! Thank you for pointing out the ever so basics that others fail to tell us
@@tanyam.delacruz532 glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching :)
Love the way you explain how to use them….but I’m finding it difficult to grab the ball…is the string too long or is there a technique for the grab part?
Thanks! In terms of grabbing it, you probably need to relax your hands. Most of the time that's the issue with beginner players. Consider checking out my more basic lessons and coming back to this one later :)
I got a question, when you say "and at some point just let it go" .. which is the moment I should let it go? I find hard to calculate the delay between that and when the ball actually hits the other one (I am on my first day) do you let it go like on the last quarter note of the shaking rhithm or..?
@@gioeledibello4742 let it go on the last upbeat. In other words the '4 and' if you're counting eighth notes :)
It's been over a year - I'm wondering how they've held up, if you've printed more of 50mm size, and how everyone else that printed them have found they last.
@@Enn- they held up just fine because I never use them lol
Where is a good place online to buy these?
Asalato Sampa, kashaka UK, koshkashmoussa, asaratopanman, okume percussion, etc :)
thanks for the video! managing to do pretty well but sometimes the dropped spinning asalato just starts going wild and spinning more up and down and a not across my fingers. What could help with improving this any ideas?
Just practice! And relax your hands :) enjoy the journey, its OK if it takes a while to get the hang of it. There's no rush!
very nice! i struggle so much with konnakol and playing asalato at the same time. my small brain can't deal with anything other than 3/4 or 4/4
3 and 4 are the most important :) keep practicing! 👊
@@PeteGalea thanks Pete, will do. I keep my asalato with me in my pocket pretty much all the time :)
Hey Peter! Thanks so much for this video. You should go a little more into string length. I got mine yesterday and it was a mess untill i shortened the strings significantly. Once i made the adjustment it was dramatically easier. I passed it on in the comments below. Thanks again for this though. Ive come back to it about 10 times in the last few days lol. Its great!
Thank you very much for your feedback. I will make a video specifically on the rope length, as you're right, it's a very common issue/question. Take care! P
I don't understand how you keep shaking when the ball is over your thumb. I have no trouble shaking normally, but when I let loose the second ball and it comes on my thumb, I can only bounce it back and stop the shaking
Where can I buy quality shalakas, please? Every review on Amazon shows poor quality product that breaks after few days… I live in France and didn’t find any local resellers. Thanks.
Forget Amazon! That bald man has enough money 😹 check out asalato sampa, kashaka UK, koshkashmoussa, asaratopanman, etc.. there are plenty of good brands online, some of which I've made reviews of on the channel ;)
I just bought my first set. I am EXTREMELY uncoordinated but I’m determined to learn this instrument. I have small hands and it feels like the balls are too far apart. Do I need to shorten the cord or just get used to it? I really enjoyed this video. You make it look so easy!
Hey. I'm new to this as well. Small-ish hands. I followed the recommendations from websites as to how much slack (2 fingers) should work and the balls just kept bouncing out of my hands unless my catch was really perfect. I decided to hold them so the strings were pointing directly at me with a relaxed hand and took up the slack on one side and tie the knot exactly there. When i hold them now i can fit one finger and its snug.. Now I can grab it before it bounces. I got them yesterday and spent three hours on and off trying to get it and it didn't work at all. I managed to get the shake in about 20 minutes after I adjusted them. Managed a basic shake and catch today a couple of times. For me the difference was dramatic. Also- the string will stretch so you may have to tighten it up after some use. Lmk if it helps.
P.s. the finger measurement is under the string on the back of your hand. I wasn't clear.
Hey! I'll be making a video on string length specifically. Really and truly it's trial and error, but when holding them in your hand, enough slack behind your knuckles to fit one finger is a good start. Hope that helps until I make that video, cheers :)
Thank you. Mine came today. My arm is tired. I just learned about them and ordered them the same day on Amazon. I play the drums in an African Drum Circle. I’m happy to have a new instrument to bring. I live near Raleigh, North Carolina 🇺🇸. I Love learning something new. I am 78 year old. You are a good teacher. I promise I will be practicing.
Lol same story. Mine are coming tomorrow.
That's fantastic to hear! Enjoy your practice and thanks for checking out my video. All the best!
That was a really great lesson. You covered all the mistakes I was making. I'm already getting the shaking and the cracking.
You are a peach 🤍… but I just realized I can’t make it 🤣 … maybe “playing” is just not my thing. Will keep practicing singing and shaking maracas 💙
@pete I have jus bought a pair of them and I am almost ready to send them back to Amazon 🤣 it seems impossible to me. And also, my ones are not very noisy.. Theo are made of cork outside… any advice is welcome 🤍
Take your time and enjoy the journey of practicing! In the beginning it took me a while to get the hang of it. Don't give up, and have fun!
My balls hurt
How do you keep the ball in your hand without it slipping out while being relaxed? Plus the ball and string starts misaligning and swings over the top of my fingers
Not sure I understand what you mean entirely. Feel free to send me a video on Instagram, and I will do my best to help you.
How to adjust to find best rope length for my hands? Also I do fine with catching the ball on the pinky side. But the thumb side catch? I think some even more beginner tutorial would help many. Very interesting. I like the shake it all the time approach. Thank you! 🎵
Rope length is trial and error! See what works for you. And you don't need to catch it on the thumb side, so not sure what you mean in this case. Enjoy!
Thank you Peter for the quick reply. I will play with lenght. Thum side catch is something I've seen in another video. I will ask there, which makes sense when I think of it. Thanks again!
very helpful! i just picked up asalato again recently, and i have an uncle that has a 3D printer. I think you can downscale the designs in the program he uses so i will try and create some asalato with balls that are closer to 50mm. did you end up finding the ideal shaker material?
Sounds good! To be honest, the one from this video is so clunky I don't really play it much, I have many others which are far better. But who knows? Maybe ill make more in the future 😎
@@PeteGalea yeah the ones in your video look enormous. my best pair are plastic but super loud so my ears get fatigued quickly, i have a cork pair that you can hardly hear at all, and i've broken every pair i own of the gourd ones from Africa. can you recommend any other types? i'm in australia so not too many options are available here
@@davidjames149 I like Asalato Sampa, and Kashaka UK. Not sure about shipping to Australia though. I haven't yet broke any one of my gourd ones, but I don't play them as regularly since they're delicate.
@@PeteGalea thank you i'll check them out. often the problem is that even if they do ship to Aus, the cost makes it a lot less tempting, which is why i'm so happy to have found this video and the 3D printer designs for these asalato. thanks again :)
Super
The moment i try to let the shaker start the clicks , the whole ryhtem stops from being fluid , i dont understand exactly when to let it go from my hand 😅
If you had to count "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and" , you'd let go on the 4 AND for it to click at the top on beat one. Keep practicing, you will manage!
I can’t figure out if they’ll ship to America? Seems like not. I want some.
Message them on Instagram :) otherwise I know Asaratopanman is also selling them now, since I made this video. Hope that helps!
I am new to asalato. Nice lesson. Thank you! I think I understand it, but am still very uncoordinated. I really am having trouble catching the ball on its return back to my palm, under my pinkie finger. It clicks the ball then bounces back out of the bottom of my hand. Any tips? Thank you!
Stay relaxed! It usually does that when your hand is stiff, or you're trying too hard to catch it.. just let it do its thing :)
@@PeteGalea Thank you.
im struggling to catch the asalato back with my fingers when swinging back, are there any tricks? or actually just those ball "size does matters" ?
Size does not in fact matter 😹😹 just relax your hands and keep practicing. You got this!
Dude... You made it so clear. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you found it helpful :)
Hi Pete! Thank you for this amazing video!! I'd like to start this percussion and I was wondering if it would be better to get a plastic asalato as a beginner or maybe the material doesn't change anything to the technique? Many thanks 😊
Plastic is way more durable, so it's a good idea :) happy practicing!
Awesome lessons. I just got a set of those same Kashakas after being inspired by a couple of IG Kashaka players, including Yowie. Your lessons are very clear and you are a charming teacher.
That's kind of you to say, thank you! Glad you found the lesson helpful, and enjoy your asalato journey! Cheers
Which ones would you recommend to buy?
