"I recently discovered a kind of round castanet that you can play by placing them on a table and beating them them with your fingers. (Can't do that with the traditional Spanish design). I don't know what their intended use is - schools maybe?"

I read something about castanets like this recently: I can't remember whether it was a book about percussion or a catalogue. I think they're for percussionists who might be playing other instruments as well.

I started practicing drum rudiments a couple of months ago: talk about addictive!
