I recorded through my Rode NT4 Stereo Mic, and the loops consist of:
- LP Rhythmix Egg Shaker with LP Rhythmix Conga Shaker (played at the same time in one hand)
- A pair of Vic Firth "Puilis" (by Emil Richards) provide the back beat
- And my jingle crunch shaker thingy (a mix of jingle bells, tambourine jingles and LP One Shots) that I sometimes will mount on my hi-hat provides the half-time "crunch" on beat 3
If you care to have each of the above elements separately, just drop me a line with the subject heading "Loop of the Day Nov. 10th" and I'll email you the separate elements as soon as I can!
The tempo is at 100 bpm and there is a bit of a quarter note pulse from the shakers.
So without further adieu, I present the following:
