Zills zils zills! ..or Sagat/Finger Cymbals :) @ WBD tomorrow!

Hello all,

As I'll be teaching a workshop on Finger Cymbals for the benefit Wereldbuikdansdag Event in Ham, Belgium on 12th of May (tomorrow!) I'd like to share some of my favorite articles on the topic here :)

First one: How to choose your finger cymbals, from Gildedserpent.com http://www.gildedserpent.com/cms/2010/06/01/lara-choosing-finger-cymbals/#axzz1uYO76vWk

An extensive article about zills by Shira http://www.shira.net/advice/learning/zills-intro.htm

A link to my favorite finger cymbals: http://dwp.bigplanet.com/saroyan/advancedprofessional/ The Saroyan Pro - they have a lovely bell-like tone. Will be ordering the silver ones next week as well, curious to hear the sound difference with the brass set :)


And last but not least, a video of one of my favorite performers with Sagat: Sophie Armoza of Israel!

Group Jahanára (the L3/4 ladies from Würselen) and I will be performing at the hafla as well
Come check us out!
