Want a Better Rhythm Hand? ... listen to the drummer ... It's all there.

I tell my ukulele students if you want to develop a better rhythm hand you have to start listening to the drummer, start thinking like a drummer.

Drummers are telling you what the strumming pattern is, where the fills go, what beats to accent, it's all there just listen.

Just because you aren't the drummer doesn't meant you don't have to count.

And I leave you with this quote from perhaps the greatest rhythm hand in the business KEEF ... “Drums, eh,” says Keith Richards. “Without it you’re kinda nowhere'

Ohana TK-35G-5 Five String Ukulele, How Did It Sound?

What did people think of the Ohana TK-35G-5 5 String uke I took to NUkes last night?

Was it louder, clearer, better than the Koa tenor I usually use for teaching?

I thought it sounded AMAZING, straight out of the box that afternoon, it played like a dream all night, just those strings needed tuning regularly while they stretched out.

Very loud and that low and High G string combo is fantastic, Jangle from the Octave G Strings but you still have single course of C E and A strings for picking and runs etc...

Very happy to have added this model to the range of Ohana ukuleles available in Australia.

DEMO: The Ohana SK-350G is an All Solid Koa Wood Soprano with Abalone Binding. Enjoy Ken Middleton playing the piece 'The Gypsy Rover.'

Video of Ken Middleton playing the top of the range Ohana Ukuleles  SK-350G Soprano Ukulele.
Enjoy CC.

P.S. Ohana translated mean "family"  and their Ukuleles do seem to embody that comfortable at home feel, so their name suits their product.

I might bring it along to the next NUkes on the 7th for a bit of a "Show and Tell" which usually ends up being "Touch and Play and Pass it around"   ;-) cheers CC

Ohana Ukuleles (A family business based in Hawaii) make some very nice ukuleles indeed.
From their $80 entry level ukuleles to their top of the Range 350 Series its hard to find anything disappointing.
