Thank you for your encouraging feedback! Glad you found the video helpful. I love all types of South American and Caribbean music. Really interesting for drummers!😀
By chance, most arrangements in a music school will be based on a 2/3 clave. If the tune is in 3/2, the orchestra will experience schizophrenia with this pattern. That reminds me of the guy who is driving on the highway, and hears on his radio "Look out, there is a vehicle against the flow of cars on the 20 between Sweetwater and Abilene." And the guys says "Wow ! there is not only one, there are dozens !"
Thanks for your feedback. I understand the difference between 2/3 and 3/2 Clave. When playing with musicians who also understand Clave you definitely have to take that into account. But most jazz musicians actually don't think in terms of Clave. The best that I showed here works in most jazz situations. I agree that there is much more to learn about Salsa than this very basic beat
@@BradAllenDrumsKansasCityYou are right about jazz musicians, they don't give a s..t about the clave direction, and often play something which could as well be Brazilian. I played salsa with Colombians, but they perfectly spoke French, good thing as my Spanish is still a work in progress. The hardest part is the dancing !
I love that music and am always trying to learn more. I was fortunate that one of my best friends in the Army band was a bass player from Puerto Rico. He taught me quite a bit about the music, but I still have a lot to learn. I've been learning to play some salsa piano. Part of the motivation is simply to have a better understanding of the music. @@ofdrumsandchords
@@BradAllenDrumsKansasCityWow. Playing piano in this music is tough. I bought the Rebeca Mauleón-Santana book "101 montunos", but I'm too calamitous a pianist to play this stuff. It's always good when a drummer knows about music, some can't tell the difference between a minor chord and a nail.
@@ofdrumsandchords it was always a big debate for me in my mind. I remember asking my teachers if drummers had to study another instrument. He said regardless, they had to study the music and really understand it. Good advice. I definitely think studying a choral instrument helps a lot. Either piano or mallets
Thanks John. I've always been really fascinated with Latin rhythms. One of my best friends in the Army was a bass player from Puerto Rico. I learned a lot from him.
Been looking for this for a long time, thank you!
