This isn't anything new but I reccomend any beginners or people who haven't played much latin try out these beats, they are great for coordination. They both use this foot pattern underneathe: B |0--00--00--00--0| Hf|--x---x---x---x-| (1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a) And here are the beats. Samba: R |x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xx| S |o--o--o---o-o---| B |0--00--00--00--0| Hf|--x---x---x---x-| (1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a) Samba (Inverted Clave pattern on snare): R |x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xx| S |--o-o---o--o--o-| B |0--00--00--00--0| Hf|--x---x---x---x-| (1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a) Dennis Chambers plays a variation of this using two bass drum pedals (Still using the LRR pattern) and some accents of the snare, like this: > > R |x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xx| S |o--o--o---o-o---| B |0-000-000-000-00| (1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a) or > > R |x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xx| S |o--o--o---o-o---| B |0-000-000-000-00| (1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a) '>' is the accents played on the snare. Mozambique: Learn this as a rudiment with the following sticking: > > > S |F-RLRRLRLRRLRRLR| (1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a) Where F is a flam and L and R is the sticking. '>' above the bar are the accents you should play. Now play it between snare and ride, with the samba foot pattern underneathe: > > > R |F-x-xx-x-xx-xx-x| S |F--o--o-o--o--o-| B |0--00--00--00--0| Hf|--x---x---x---x-| (1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a) Where the F means you play it as a flam, so the snare hit will actually fall slightly before the ride hit. Try these out they really sound awesome and do wonders for coordination.
