transcription

It is possible to adapt music from other instruments for the asalato.

concert snare drum

---

Flams can be played as a click followed by a knock for the primary note, in rapid succession. Drags and ruffs can be played by combinations of clicks and thumb clicks followed by a knock for the primary note.

Here is an example of of a concert snare drum and marimba duet called Lucky Nashville by Ivan Trevino, adapted for the asalato (adapted by the author).

drum set

---

The asalato can be used as a substitute for a drum set, albeit quieter.

This is an example of a live set where asalato is used as a drum set to cover songs originally using drum set, from the author's band woodwork.
