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!
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!
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.
Could you tell me what sort of filling your asalato has? I'm making mine and the regular metal beads from an egg shaker are too piercing and loud. Do you have any tips on what to use to make the shaking sound more subtle and quieter?
@@PeteGalea They sound really lovely. The unpleasant sound I'm having problems with might due to the thin plastic balls I'm using for the "gourds". Do you think rice would work in the long term and wouldn't break apart inside the shaker?
Can we have some tips on where and what type/brand/model of Kashaka to buy? I couldn't find one in any music store in my country, even Thomann, the largest store in Europe doesn't return anything when searching ror Kashaka or Aslato...
True! I bought mine from kashaka.uk and they're th Kashaka Pro Clear model. There's also a brand called Asalato Sampa which I'd like to try out at some point soon. Those are the first two options that come to mind. Hope that helps!
You are an absolute legend, these lessons help me so much!

I believe the ones in this video also have small metal beads.. maybe try small seeds or some other natural material? :)
