Greeting,what I said is that for long time the double Cascara was used for a dynamic sound-down,(when the singer was on the main lyrics,or the piano,violin-soloing),where everybody would lower the volume,and the Timbaleros would switch to the side, so the Cascara would sound even,and in the change,the Timbalero would go back to the middle for the use of the bells and the rest of the set-up...In the set-up of the proper high of the Timbales and Congas to play,there are ergonomics,physicals and aerodynamics reasons why too low is not convenient,( it have nothing to do with style of playing),the same for a drum-set,but it doesn't bother me if everybody want to set-up down on the floor and play it like that as long as they are not my students.Dr Zaragemca
