Thank you for making these videos!!! I just started composing and, having never played percussion, I didn't know the names of the instruments that make the sound effects I was thinking of, so these are perfect for that. One thing that would be nice (if you have time) would be if you could add a list of the instruments with links to the timestamps where the different instruments are being played so viewers could click through and find a particular instrument quicker--but the info you provide is very good! :)
I've been curious about the cricket for decades. (You hear it in Lionel Richie's hit All Night Long, for example.) I thought the sound was created by something like a guiro. Then, a few years ago, I found a sample pack with different kinds of latin percussion loops. And some of the loops sounded exactly like that, but they were called "crickets", and so I searched for any kind of cricket percussion. I found that, and got one. Unless I'm listening to something with a lot of latin influences, I use it like claves. (I hold the body, not the handle, so the medal rod is face up, and gently shake it so you only get (or try to get) one click.)
Hey Rick, amazing sounds here. Especially the Others or Otters, I don't know the name or instrument. Where can I find these? Really sounds like a flock of birds. Thanks for making these videos. Grtz, Joop🙏🙌
Right On! Great job my friend, a demonstration of sound well needed in a lost art form of analog sound creativity. Always think outside the box for a new wave sound sensation & vibe! ++Peace,Funk & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul++ "Happy Holidays!"
i'm trying to figure whats the percussion instrument on Grateful Dead "Operator"- it's like a ratchet with controlled twists but it has a zippy ascending and descending aspect. i think it's pretty common in medium tempo country tunes, but if you listen to "operator" for a few seconds you'll know exactly what i'm talking about.
Help! I don't know who else to turn to. What kind of instrument is this, starting at 0:31 in the demonstration of that sample pack? I hear it on various latin music tracks, but I struggle to identify the instrument. The wobbling sound reminds me on some kind ape-call. ua-cam.com/video/9XWfrN2-piA/v-deo.html Is it a drum technique? Or something entirely different? THX in advance!
That's a very bad Cuica sample. A Cuica is a Brazilian talking drum.If you listen to the old Simon and Garfunkel tune Me and Julio Down by the school yard, that's what it is supposed to sound like.
@@rickdior Thanks so much Rick! And sorry for the sacrilege. The sample is a bad example for sure. Now that I am enlighted I can search specifically for the sound/instrument. Thanks again for helping out, this has been bugging me for quite a while.
It is a shame the old fashioned "pick a part"" junk yard is pretty much a thing of the past. There is a giant metal recycler in my town that I have repeatedly reached out to about buying metal from. They wont return my calls. I think they deal in the train car load only.

14:29 may I know if the bottom of the spoons "handles" are sold seperately? Or does it come with the spoons?
Hi
They are one piece...you buy them in pairs.
rickdior Do you have links to it? I've never seen it before and no idea what's the correct name

They are called utters. Basically, rubber tubes with an end cap.
I think LP used to make them.

i think its a guiro
Hi Andrew
That's a small guiro with a very thin rattan stick. You know its small since it's so high pitched. Its a short up-stroke.
@@rickdior Thankyou that was very helpful.
i wonder if i could make some of these
Any info on the ion triangles?
What Is the percussion at 4:40?...Is Plugs Percussion?
How would I notate these?
They would be x notation for the hits and slash notation for continuous effects.
Any scrapes or slides should be done with glissandi notation.
Great..
12:06 Sounds like record scratch. I can imagine hearing that in rap music.
And if anything happened to them, it would be an utter disaster.
Can’t find the Pearl rattle shakers. Help.
Look for Pearl Tang Tang online. It was invented by my old mentor Bart Fermie, a great and creative percussionist from The Netherlands!

What is the name of the birds sound please?
a Nightingale whistle. The rubber ones are called udders (as in a part of a cow)

I agree
I spent many hours at junkyards in my youth finding brake drums, rotors etc. Can't do that anymore.
