Hey, what you do is just great!!
I´ve been desperately looking for thorough information on my percussion instruments, and except for bongos (Trevor Salloum = excellent) and congas (Biger Sulsbrück = as I have mentioned earlier: great as well), there seems to be no sufficient information especially on the so-called small percussion - WHICH I CONSIDER NOT SMALL AT ALL!!! Especially bells!
An addititional info on the berimbau:
It´s interesting, a friend of mine , Hukwe Zawose from Tanzania (what a name - what a man) play a kind of berimbau in a brilliantly exciting way. Since the Tanzanian population and culture is made up from Bantu culture (esp. language), this root for that fascinating instrument has been very correctly covered by you. Go on, I´m impatiently waitung for the other instrumunets.
Peace, LOVE, and rhythm for all, Mike
