How to play on Maracas - hand technique in Mambo & Salsa styles

In this video, I show the technique of playing Maracas in the styles of Mambo and Salsa. Note the technique of the right hand, which uses a movement called "Down-Up" when playing the reels.
That is, the sound is played not only when the hand moves down, but also when the hand is raised - with a swing. This allows you to achieve the necessary speed when playing in the Mambo and Salsa styles.

In what hand you hold each according to the tone of each maraca, machoy hembra. Very good demonstration.

Вопрос: пара маракасов (не сувенирные, а музыкальные), один тяжелее другого в 2 раза из-за большего количества шумящего наполнителя. Это так и должно быть? Они в паре разные? Спасибо
