In the latin kit, don't forget the side of the timbales (paila). It would be great also to have good hand claps in the flamenco style (palmas) and good samples of a cajon (flamenco box).
And a caja and a guacharaca (vallenato) (OK, I suppose the bongo and guiro would do at a pinch ;) Tambourines and shakers would be cool, though I guess I could always play those live myself :) or slurp up the ones from GarageBand. IMO, multiple velocities are a must and -- and in a Latin or African kit with hand drums, so are various different kinds of hits: open, slap, bass, muted, touch, tumbao heel, tumbao fingers, all that sort of thing, and with the left and right hands. Certainly one would want to be able to reproduce in DoggieBox the kinds of hits seen in hand drum tab/notation. Man, I would totally go for that! :) I haven't really found anything that seems to cover all that sort of thing. Maybe it's there in huge sample collections that cost zillions of dollars, but who will ever know? Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
