| Paila | Pronounced PAEE-lah, simply means to play on the shells; synomynous with Cascara. The word pailas originally came from a vessel of iron or copper used in the sugar cane factories of Cuba. Many Cuban timbaleros use the word Pailas to refer to the timbales, and Cascara to playing on the sides of the drum. Paila patterns (ie. verse) are used in softer sections when a cowbell is too much; playing on one or both shells of the timbales. |
