SLAP MECHANISM

Slap in the game we should not have any to play. Not any time and any appeal, but there is to be aware of them, and the mechanisms of scale in a slap game itself. Here I want to share about the mechanism and the scale itself.

Slap Mechanism:

1. Using the power of wrist

This mechanism is usually used to slap2 who need high speed or technique down up hard like Pluck, Pluck double, etc so no need to use hand motion and excessive power

2. Using arm strength

if this mechanism is to slap like that tend to be more percussive slap2 marcus miller (pattern2 drums) so as to have a more pronounced beat and more powerful. If Flea combination of both, if he needs a powerful slap him use power from the arm, if you want more speed he use energy from his wrist ..

Slap Scale:

The following exercises can slap make a choice if my friends want to play all the bass tones are usually played with the finger becomes more varied with the slap ..

example: C major scale

string tone technique
---------------------------------------
C A DOWN
D A UP
E D Pluck
F D DOWN
G D UP
A G Pluck
B G DOWN
C G UP

Example 2: C minor scale (Aeolian)

string tone technique
-------------------------------------
C A DOWN
D A UP
Eb A Pluck
F D DOWN
G D UP
Ab D Pluck
Bb G DOWN
C G UP

okay, this exercise can be both basic to play later when the singing slap each finger has an independent level as when we play finger ..

good luck.
