Kashaka (Aslatua) Tutorial from a Man in Kyoto!

Hey groovy people! I've got a new video for yah! I've been meaning to pick up an Aslatua for about nine years, and I never really felt it was the right time. A month ago, as I was wandering Kyoto, I came across an opportunity that I felt was too good to pass up. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, and if you're trying to learn the Kashakas, then let me know if this was helpful.
Thanks Jun for letting me film this!

Wow!! Thank you!! Let’s have a session next time!!

This is the guy!

I think I'm getting some kashakas for my birthday today... I've always wanted it and it was on my birthday list.

[@EthanStreblow]

@@Republic_Of_Vicoria_Official Sweet! Hope this video helps! This guy was so good at it.

Hello, I've been trying to find a good quality shaker but have not been having any luck. Do you still sell these, and would you be willing to ship to the US?

[@priscillabatistasoares684]

@@EthanStreblow Do you know his instagram? Great video!

[@alexandrobravo8724]

Been playing asalato for three years now and I find new rhythms everyday since theirs basically an infinite amount

[@EthanStreblow]

They are such a cool mix between skill you and percussion instrument.

[@alexandrobravo8724]

@@EthanStreblow I was in percussion in high school so I’ve had experience with the little percussion instruments

[@t.ist666]

Awesome dude! I love to hear that other people are playing asalato too - there aren't many of us about! I'm about a year and half into my journey, and you're totally right there are almost infinite rhythms! Keep playing and having fun. Greetings from Austria!

[@Jril39]

Where do you recommend to buy this instrument

[@Samuel_Gonzalez35]

I'm not sure how, but I think John Wick might use these as deadly weapons in his next movie lmao

It’s cool how throughout the video your playing gets more and more impressive

[@PeteGalea]

Thank you for this video! I've been trying to figure out how air turns actually work, and this was super helpful. All the best :) P

[@EthanStreblow]

Great! Glad it was helpful. It was so cool to see. And it was super unexpected. I didn't even know he could do all of that when I started filming him.

[@osmacar5331]

They look really fun just to fuck about with

[@EthanStreblow]

I can attest.

[@panmad6156]

Aren't they interesting? I saw them first on this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3W0mIhneLWjn9U Super cool channel called Hang Massive. If you like percussion, worth checking out. (I sound like I'm affiliated with them or something. 😆)

[@BlueBass2]

can you tell me the length of string between kashakas? i bought a pair that i feel might be too short

[@EthanStreblow]

I think I remember having the string be about the length of my palm. You could try replacing the string to be longer. I was constantly changing the size of the string to get it right. Or letting other people use it.

Nice 👍🏿

whoa!! kaimasu 😂😂😂 I would have done the same if I was standing there. Instead I just got them from Etsy just now lol

[@EthanStreblow]

Haha! Right? I was like, "Well, now I gotta get 'em." Etsy is great. Glad this guy I met on the street inspired more than just me. 😄 Let me know how they are and how it goes!

[@victorkimotho6352]

They are common in West Africa, they call them Nkush kash

[@EthanStreblow]

Cool! We don't get to see them very often in America or Japan.

[@Jril39]

Does anyone know where I can buy this instrument??

[@EthanStreblow]

Sorry, I bought it from him in person. He makes them himself, so I'm not sure if he sells them online.

[@369zag]

Do you sell these online bro? I’d love to buy some! :)

[@EthanStreblow]

I'd love to hook you up, but unfortunately they were made by the guy, and I bought them from him personally in Kyoto, Japan. 😄 Sorry.

[@cosmoboyplays4085]

Can i buy it? Please show me link, where i can buy it

[@EthanStreblow]

I wish I could. I bought it from him in person. Sorry. But they are African percussion instruments, and if you search for them online, I'm sure you could find them. Good luck!
