DRUMMERS9 TRAPS
The two devices illustrated here, which are part of many trap
drummers' equipment, can be easily made and can be used to
keep time with the music of your home-made band or of the
radio. One device is a set of sand blocks, which you rub to-
gether to make that shuffling effect you have heard so many
times in dance band music. The other is a tambourine with
bells, which you can shake and strike against your knee and
with vour fist.
The sand blocks are easy. They are two wooden blocks, each
6 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches deep, with sand-
paper glued to one side. Just rub the sandpaper sides together
and you will get the popular shuffling effect.
