Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play the Ocean Kashaka Shaker?
To play the Ocean Kashaka Shaker, hold the rope between your middle and ring fingers, with one ball resting in your hand and the other dangling. Shake gently in a 4-beat rhythm, allowing the balls to clack together. As you get comfortable, experiment with variations, such as shaking on specific beats or speeding up the rhythm.
For more advanced techniques, incorporate wrist movements and alternate between open, closed movements, and shakes to create dynamic sounds. Our eBook, The Complete Kashaka Player, is a step-by-step guide that covers everything from basic rhythms to advanced techniques, helping you master the Kashaka Shaker quickly and efficiently.
