The upper hand of the shooter is in a position over his shoulder... [and] follows through in a vigorous throwing motion with a snap of the wrist as the lower hand pulls down hard on the butt end of the handle. The body weight transfers from the rear to the front leg... The head of the stick actually ends up pointing to the ground because the body follow-through is so complete. 1, record 1, English, - three%2Dquarter%2Darm%20shot

[...] le chanteur principal et son assistant s'assoient d'ordinaire sur un banc et battent le rythme avec l'extrémité en bois d'un hochet en corne de vache sur le corps d'un hochet carapace de tortue. Les hochets carapace de tortue sont beaucoup plus larges et plus lourds que les hochets en corne de vache, donc il se peut qu'il n'y ait pas de hochet carapace de tortue lors des rassemblements. Dans ces cas-là, les musiciens utilisent parfois le banc lui même comme instrument. 2, record 2, French, - hochet%20carapace%20de%20tortue
