What is Cabasa?
Cabasa is a drum tool that consists of a round wheel or cylinder (usually made of wood), which is a skidding of a steel ball chain. Normally it has a handle and the tool is shaken to create a sound similar to the sound that is made with a high hat. Cabasas are used in a number of different types of Latin American music and are best known for their easily distinguished sound in Bossa Nova, Latin jazz style that comes from samba. It was a hollow gourd over which the beads were strung in the net. When shaken, the sound is very similar to the cab, although this tool has a metal sound. Cabasas is also more often coming to reasonably standard sizes. Because the checks are traditionally made of gourd, size and length of the handle, it depends very much on how large the pump grows.
