If you're ready to take your Asalato playing skills to higher levels, this is the course for you. A step-by-step breakdown of various advanced techniques that will allow you to play like an absolute PRO.
The Asalato (also known as CasCas, KoshKash, Patica, Televi, Aslatua, Banakula, Kashaka and more) is an incredible instrument from West Africa whose popularity is growing and growing around the globe. The Asalato’s simple and innocent looks can be deceiving, as it is actually one of the more difficult percussion instruments in the world.
In this course I include clear, detailed explanations for every technique, along with slow motion videos whenever needed. My goal is to make these techniques, rhythms and patterns as accessible as possible, as well as to encourage you to develop your own creativity and rhythmic flow.
The Advanced Asalato Course includes the following techniques:
On-beat and Off-beat Switch (also known as Air Turn)
Top hold
Delaying and Accelerating
Advanced clicks (top and bottom)
Spin-hits
Playing in opposite directions
Throwing
Incorporating the Asalato with drumming
Whether you're a professional musician or this is the first instrument you've ever played in your life- this course will take you on a sweet journey with the world's most unique percussive instrument and the world of rhythms, patterns and coordination challenges that it opens up.
