It features 19 taps, created by striking the cabasa against the hand so the beads rattle against the shell of the instrument. With variations from metal beads, plastic beads, and natural cowrie shells, these taps cover a wide tonal range mainly in the mid to upper frequencies and make a great alternative to maracas for adding sharp, rhythmic accents. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe pack also includes 20 twist sounds, recorded by pressing the outer beads against the hand and scraping to produce detailed textures. Each twist varies in frequency and character depending on the instrument used, giving you a versatile collection to choose from. These sounds can be layered with drums to add extra groove, used as rhythmic fills, or woven into lo-fi, funk, Latin, and world-inspired productions for an authentic percussive edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess 39 cabasa sound samples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSounds of our cabasa instruments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality WAV format audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eProduct Type: Digital Download \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eInstruments Used: Ejura cabasa, satara cabasa, gourd cabasa, and the cowrie calabash cabasa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCopyright Notice: \u003cspan\u003e© Carved Culture.
