    Everybody's making fun of this and I understand that the simplicity is almost laughable.
    But listen to what he can do with it. I couldn't pick up "a box" and create that. Creating the rhythm with the middle finger over the whole like that really does make a difference. I think it's nice to listen to.

      Sou brasileiro tbm, mas pra tu falar isso, é sinal que não conhece mto sobre percussão. Ainda mais no Samba. Claro que não existe um limite de diferentes tipos de percussão, mas esse mesmo tipo de som é produzido por vários tipos de tambores e tamborins que usamos no dia a dia no BR. Seja no carnaval ou até na roda de capoeira.

    this is the same as tapping your cheeks to a rhythm and opening/closing you mouth/lips to create different pitches.
    The only difference ..the Travolette doesn't make your cheeks turn red ;-)
