Sleigh Bells: Traditional to Unconventional Techniques

Written by Bart Elliott

Here are two 5-Minute Lessons on how to play the Sleigh Bells.

In the first lesson I demonstrate some of my traditional Sleigh Bell techniques, like what I would use in an orchestral or concert/symphonic band setting.

In the second lesson I demonstrate and share some of my unconventional Sleigh Bell techniques, such as incorporating a HiHat stand to play the Sleigh Bells with my foot.
