This beat is a hip hop style and I use a goat toenail rattle in my left hand to slap and slide on the conga drum. It creates a good snare drum substitute. I ride on a suspended nut shell shaker that has a doggie squeeky toy attached which I accent with. This setup can be used to good effect for shuffles, swing, and slow blues too.
