I love latin music and jazz, but I have mostly been playing with a rock band. I have sat in with a guitarist, and he leans toward country and ballad type of music. I have seen the cow bell foot block set ups. But has anyone seen a tamborine played this way? The drum shop said that you could do it the same, just mount the tamborine vertically, but this idea does not seem like what I want. I want a crisp ching, no gingle, like an up beat stroke. Cow bell is ok, but blues and country, cowbell can be to much. So, I had wondered if anyone has tried this? I have also thought of using brushes on my djembe to get a softer sound like a snare with brushes. So, I am interested to see if anyone has tried this before. Memphis is loaded with soloist/duos and trios that use those terrible drum machines. The clubs are too small to spring for a band and a drum set would be overkill, so they use drum machines instead. I have seen one trio use a drummer that used a djembe and a snare, tamborine, shaker and that was it. It sounded great, so I thought about the footblock and wondered if a tamborine could be used horizonally.
