Knocking the other hand's gourds using the flop half or second half of a den-den.

individual examples


sound quality


A more resonant sound can be produced if the gourd that is struck is in contact with another gourd, which follows the same principles of sound quality as a knock.

variations


Can delay through moving the arm at the same speed as the rebounding den-den. This changes the length of the rhythm, and can be used to play this technique with arbitrary rhythms.

Can be used when the other hand is held in flop position.
