Shaker Lesson: A Modern Approach to Caxixi

Multi-percussionist David Alderdice from Embodying Rhythm gives a five minute tutorial on modern applications for caxixi. This was recorded because the video feed wouldn't work for a planned live video lesson with a student out of the country who just got some caxixi.

Hello David,
Thank you for the great video!
Do you have any recomendations on where to buy good quality caxixi online?
Thank you,
Oscar

[@shirleyarndt5550]

David you were playing the drum at Hotchkiss k8 school when we were doing cellibrate the beat

[@TheRealMuzzyFuzz]

Hey thanks for this!! Would you happen to know where I could order a pair of the specific caxixi you are playing? I’ve ordered a ton of pairs and none are what I’m looking for. Those are perfect.

[@teresaorr503]

From the logo, those look like Nino brand caxixi. I have a pair that I ordered through my local Guitar Center store, but they're also available from Meinl percussion (Nino percussion is a subsidiary of theirs). And yes, they sound great and entirely professional, especially when you consider that Nino products are marketed as percussion for kids.
