Playing the chocalho.mov 

I always find your explanations to be extremely helpful. Thank you!

THANKS Your lesson is very pleasant and clear

Like all your videos, clear and inspiring! Thanks for this. I find that the chocalho is the loudest samba instrument to play and my ears ring immediately unless I wear ear protection.

Amazingly clear and straight-forward videos. Short and sweet. Thank you so much!

Gracias Michael!

I appreciate your teachingskills. thanks

@NRHarris They use both names for this instrument, but most of the time when the jingles are inside the metal frame, they call it chocalho. When the jingles are at the outside and in the middle is a wooden or metal bar, they call it rocar.

Thankyou Michael, that was really helpful.

Great demonstration as usual, thank you for sharing.

Hi Sam, it is nice to be appreciated. I hope your band mates do their homework and perhaps you can show me a video where you all play Brazilian percussion! That would be nice!!

thanks you for the upload...now i can do my revision on this :))

I didn't post new video's from Sambalanço. But it will come again... I didn't have time for it. When I have a new camera, I'll post more.

@abdwyer Your right!! You can't play this instrument without ear protection!!

YES - i play this in a rock/pop band and it is loud *G*

Very helpful. Just killed my biceps on a gig!! Gotta use more wrist. Peace .

Excellent! Is chocalho with jingles such as this also referred to as "rocar"?

@urbanretroelecgeek Good luck with it! I've made this one specially for you.
