a few ratchet samples (free) (actually it's called Güiro)

edit:
Given the friendly hint below I know now what it's called correctly, but I'm too lazy to rename and re-upload the samples again...
/edit

Not sure if it's the proper English term for this percussion instrument, you can hear it in the sound example below. (If anyone knows what's it called correctly please let me know)

I always wanted to have a few samples of this (good for Reggae and the likes for example), so I took an old recording I did some time ago and cutted a few (some could need a bit tighter cutting maybe).

Nothing fancy at all, 16bit/44,1 mono unprocessed, no different velocities, no pre-done sample mapping, just the wav's..
Works best imo when you assign a few samples of the different folders to random or round robin in your favourite sampler.

no licence and no copyright, so do whatever you wish with these.

If you do a mapping for a sampler, it would be nice if you post it here.

Oh damn you, now I have to rename the thread and all samples and upload again with the correct name.

Just kidding, yes that's it, thanks.
I think I'll just edit the thread title, too lazy.

my mom's side of the family is Puerto Rican. we call these Guiro's; my relatives grow gourds in the backyard, dry them, put grooves in and play them with those 70's pick combs for afro hair-do's.
