Brakka Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Do you mean the cuica? "oo-oo-oo-oo-oo," like the Beastie Boys use a lot? http://www.emiliano.com/cuica.JPG It's not really scraping though, maybe you mean the clav? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcohol_ Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 It's an instrument that's a drum of sorts with a string or stick within the drum head that's pushed back and forth. I hear it a lot in old school Reggae. what's it's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-AV Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yep, that's it. If you want to hear a great solo. Pick up a copy of Grover Washington Jr - Live at the Bijou and listen to Doc Gibbs. He also plays one quite often on Emeril Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
