Triangle
Instruments / Triangle
Small instrument, real job — the triangle keeps a steady shimmer under the groove. Clean muting and even time are the whole game.
Roadmap
- 01
Open vs muted
The whole vocabulary is ringing (open) vs choked (muted with the holding hand). Get a clear contrast between the two.
- 02
The pattern
The steady open/muted figure that gives samba and forró their shimmer — relaxed and even.
- 03
Dynamics under everything
Keeping time quietly beneath the band, lifting for choruses. The triangle is felt more than heard.
