oh my god ive been hearing this on drum machines for years, was always intrigued but never been able to put a name to it until now. such a goofy but fun sound.
I wish I could be so mature that I could make constant references to "stroking the stick" without even cracking a smile or following it up with some kind of innuendo. Nice touch ending it with the fart joke, tho haha
Cuica is the South American Possum, but unlike the American opossum which plays Possum (or plays Dead). The Cuica Possum runs toward its attacker, making the sound of the Brazilian Cuica (friction drum) eee eee eee, which might work good for young predator. But running toward a Mom predator (with babies) may become a point ☠ of "Diminishing Returns ". lol 😂
No. You obviously haven't heard it played by a true master. George Clinton's legendary Parliament Funkadelic band used this instrument in the greatest Funk track of all time and it's EXQUISITE! (Not Just) Knee Deep (Full Version).
@@JSLing-vv5go Check out Roberta Flack's track Chidren's Song from the movie Busting Loose. In the hands of skilled musicians, artists and producers this instrument is superb. That's why it's used.

i had no idea this instrument existed, but i finally know what does this peculiar sound from the sims 1 soundtrack
my grandfather played cuica back in Brazil before he moved to the US
Best YT Cuica instructional video ive found yet. Thanks Kurt!
Awesome! I want a cuica.... RIGHT NOW!
Great lesson and hilarious ending too!
Thanks a lot for the great tutorial!
Kurt! 😽❤️🔥
Cuica SOLOOOOOOOOOO!!
There are so much sexual innuendo I lost count... Bead, stroking stick, do it with three fingers etc
"Sooner or later, you may break the stick inside the drum, if you do you swap out the head and you're good to go."
Ooooh mmyyyy...
'So go ahead and place your three fingers as close to the bead as possible and you're gonna wanna apply some pressure...'
Hmmmmmmm..............
Shaggadelic, baby!
And my favorite part was when he, himself couldn't help but laugh when he said get yourself a pack of doobies.
Holy shit. Why did I laugh so fucking hard at this.
Nice soud from Brazilian Cuica.You can see a little more at YT.
Digit:Mestre Oswaldinho da Cuíca na Virada Cultural 2010!And enjoy.

"strokin the stick"
Hi Kurt!
Is this the instrument that is used in "Locked out of heaven" by Bruno Mars? I'm not sure!
I want to listen to a cuica/kazoo concert.
Who else laughed everytime he said "stroking the stick"
The player looks as though he's trying to live like he's 23
thanks!
He looks my karate teacher
-HOW DOES YOUR KARATE TEACHER LOOK?-
He looks like my Boy Scout Leader.
Shaggadelic, baby!
*iF YOu brEak thE stICk yOU CaN rEPLacE THe HeAD*
The whole time I'm picturing this guy looking at a woman and thinking. This is how I do it. You see??
Waiting for dirty jokes
I had always thought this sound was coming from a string instrument.
Have a boy
Are you sponsored by doobies??
thiss is a cool sounding drum, it just looks odd when you play it, and when told how to play , , ,
I never knew that's how you pronounce it.
Reminds me of super mario sunshine
The little "shine get" jingle DOES use a midi cuíca :)
Como se afina la chica
it sounds like an ocarina made of clay
Get a pack of dobies. It's the secret of the ages.
Someone needs to fix the synch on this...
Window washing intensifies
The LP cuica is the real deal. I've played lesser versions, and they take way too much work to play, not as versatile as the LP.
:))))))
large turkey caller
Is this even a drum?
LOL
Ugh the cuica should never be a solo instrument
S h u t u p
It's a percussion instrument
Far too much talking. Note enough demonstrating.
Take note, everyone. Even when played by a percussion master, the cuica is a terrible, terrible instrument...
No. You obviously haven't heard it played by a true master. George Clinton's legendary Parliament Funkadelic band used this instrument in the greatest Funk track of all time and it's EXQUISITE! (Not Just) Knee Deep (Full Version).
@@ROJO25 Well I'm a huge Parliament fan. Knee Deep is the song that uses it? I'll check it out.
