I'm a huge fan of New Orleans Second-Line drumming. One of the guys I copy and learn from the most is Stanton Moore. Because of Stanton I integrated a 13" Brazilian Pandiero into my set-up and I've also included a Jingle-stick/Handbourine, again because of Stanton introducing me to it.

I pick mine up at some point during my practice sessions every day. It's the really fun part of the daily workout. I recently acquired three used Regal-Tip Handbourines at Goodwill. I only need one.
Here's the deal. These go for $20. new. I will send a Handbourine to the -first two people- to click on the donation button on the front page/home page and donate $10. to VDF! I'll pay postage in lower 48.
Make the donation and then post here. The first 2 respondents will each win a Handbourine to mess around with. I'm telling you, these things are a gas to use and it makes one drummer sound like there is an entire drum-line marching down the street! Check out this video of Stanton. Watch when he switches from the brushes to the Handbourine.
Killer, fun stuff to play!

Help out VDF and help yourself to some serious percussion fun! Remember to post here after you make the donation.

PS - For those who want to try this groove: When Stanton picks up the jingle-stick he begins to play a repeating pattern: RRLRRLRL All he does the entire time he's using the handbourine is to move the pattern around to different drums and changing the accents! Including that riff using the cowbell for the left-hand notes. It's all the same pattern! RRLRRLRL I can spend hours with that sticking pattern and come up with new grooves/combinations every time. Listen to the handbourine section again, then... Try it!
