Latin Percussion LP311H One Handed Triangle

Latin Percussion LP311H One Handed Triangle Review



Latin Percussion LP311H One Handed Triangle Feature

  • One Handed Triangle
With its ability to project a sonorous tone over almost any musical competition, the triangle has been a staple of the percussionist's arsenal for centuries. And in all that time its design has remained essentially the same: a single steel rod bent into a triangular shape. It's played by holding it in one hand or suspending it from a stand, and striking it with a beater held in the other hand. Performing any sort of creative rhythms has always required the use of two hands. Not anymore. Thanks to the imagination of Doug Hinrichs (percussionist with the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical In The Heights) and the creative talents of the LP design team, the humble triangle has experienced a hi-tech renovation. The result is LP's unique One-Handed Triangle (LP311H). Everything about the one handed triangle is new. Instead of being suspended by a cord, the specially bent triangle bar is entirely contained within a plastic grip that's "vented" in such a way as to retain all of the bar's sustain and projection capabilities. This grip also contains a Teflon-wrapped striker "bullet" that moves in a track between the sides of the bar. The size and weight of the striker bullet has been carefully chosen to produce optimal volume and sustain from the triangle bar. The tapered shape of the OHT lets it fit comfortably in the player's hand, making it easy to create a wide variety of movements. Strategically positioned openings in the grip provide finger access to the triangle bar itself, which allows for both open and muffled triangle playing. This makes the OHT particularly applicable to Latin and Brazilian rhythms. It can even produce sustained triangle rolls.The fact that the OHT can do all of this while being held in one hand raises a tough question for the percussionist:


Schlagwerk Percussion Professional Cajonito Compact Cajon Hand Drum

Schlagwerk Percussion Professional Cajonito Compact Cajon Hand Drum Review



Schlagwerk Percussion Professional Cajonito Compact Cajon Hand Drum Feature

  • playing surface on both the front and back sides
  • crisp quinto sound on one side, snare sound on the other
  • includes muffling pad, sides have anti-slip coating for easier handling
  • approx. 29.5 cm, 21 cm, and 15 cm
  • natural wood and black finish on resonance box
The Schlagwerk Cajonito is a compact version of the famous Schlagwerk cajon drum. All aspects of the Schlagwerk sound and manufacturing quality are included here in a compact design. Small and sensational, it is unbelievable how many sound variations this little cajon alternative offers. The Cajonito is ideal for travelling and gives drummers and percussionists a compact drum that fits into a variety of musical settings. The Cajonito has two playing surfaces making it both versatile and unique. One surface produces a crisp quinto sound ideal for improvisational play. The other side has snare coils installed allowing a player to produce real snare cajon sounds, not to mention an incredible amount of substance. It is basically two drums in one neat compact package. Additionally, the right finger technique can produce accented beats on the side frame. This versatile drum also includes a sound-hole, which allows the player to produce a wah-wah effect reminiscent of an udu. The Cajonito is usually played between the legs or on a player's lap while seated. It can also be held under one arm. This position allows for the creation of interesting wah-wah effects when varying hand positions over the sound hole. The drum includes a muffling pad that helps to create a more powerful sound, and minimizes unwanted vibrations on the opposite playing surface. The different acoustic possibilities of each side, incredible sensitivity, and responsiveness make the Cajonito capable of producing different and unique sounds. Additionally, the sides are covered with a special anti-slip coating for better handling. The natural finish on the resonance box lets the beauty of the wood show through, and attractively contrasts the black sides. The Cajonito's compact design, attractive appearance, and versatility of sound make it the ideal companion for jamming or sessions in the park. Basically, it can be taken anywhere.
