"Im going to demonstrate for you the triangle roll or trill. Now holding it with the holder so it's as open as possible, the best way to do this is by going back and forth between two opposite sides. You get a sound like this. There's your roll or your trill. A different way of playing this, I call this the dinner bell technique, come and get it. We're going to take the triangle and I'm basically going to draw, if you will, an inverted triangle inside of this triangle by hitting the middle of each side. And basically what I'm going to do in my right hand, it's, it's more like I'm drawing a circle. But the angle of the triangle is going to help kind of guide so that I hit each side once. There's your triangle roll."
