Super cool. I learnt the caixa figure from a brasilian drummer who used to say "play each quarter on its own". In the end I figured it out, but it took a while. Your explanation would have spared me a few weeks!! I love your style!! Keep the good stuff going!!
It's curious how few players get this. It made sense when It was explained to me as galope; the galloping of a horse. Edu thanks for giving a great explanation. You nailed it; boiled it down to the science of it. I'm trying to teach it to my son. I can show him this now 😀
No...but I totally get where you are coming from. It's not a flam. What's happening is that the first and last notes of that pattern are farther apart and the two notes in the center are kinda squished together...by fractions. Milliseconds. It's not "on the grid" in the way western musicians and drummers would normally play. Think of it like playing sixteenth notes to match the vocal pattern of "Carol of The Bells." Speed it up slowly and go faster and faster and you'll be closer but not exactly there. I still struggle with it. It's just practice. To make it more complicated, everyone plays with a different swing in samba in the same way the best jazz drummers do...so some sambas swing way harder than others depending on the drummers. Meaning, you can match up with Edu's swing and go play with experienced Brazilian drummers who might swing a bit more or less. Good luck and don't give up. I'm right there with you.
This is a Phenomenal exercise. Especially for us American cats I don’t quite understand how to feel that Brazilian swing.
This is IMMENSELY helpful. i've been struggling with the samba "swing" and hopefully this will get me a little closer :)
Thanks Sir! Had to half speed it but ah the beautiful simplicity that spawns such wonderful complexity.

Edu Ribeiro, músico de altíssimo nível.

Explained so well and performed beautifully. Obrigado. 🙏🏽
Freakin' amazing!
Edu is the man!
Ahá! Ahora suena a Samba! Muchas gracias Edu! Por cierto, tu trabajo con Yamandu Costa en DVD "Ao Vivo" es maravilloso. Un abrazo desde Chile!
best explaination ever
Terrific exercise! I’ve been trying to find a way to explain this to my student drummers in jazz bands that I run, and this will be so useful!
Absolutely wonderful. thank 🙏 you
Seu Edu, você é muito bom. Obrigado.
Yes, this is nice guys. Because to me its good to have Jazz and Brazilian mixed together. Add some Afro Cuban Conga beats with that Bass wow!
Gracias Edu!!
We've been EDUcated!
love your playing..
Love this Edu! Peace!
Thanks for this precious 2 minutes!
Parabens! Acertou na cabeça (and in just two minutes!)
GRACIAAAAAS
love this !!! thank you
Good stuff!
Bom demais!!!
Thank you!
So nice to hear drums played without the typical, boom tap boom boom tap.
My master
It's the same in rumba. Every western play gets this wrong. It's compound time masquerading as simple time.
It's because there are kind of "slayers" of beatings that westerns hardly get.
I’m a little confused - so for the first pattern the sticking is
LH: uh 1 e … uh 2 e …
RH: 1 & … 2 & …
And he’s flamming the downbeat?

Yes, it starts square
But then the left-hand switches to triplet feel and the right hand hits mostly on 2

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏
And honestly... It does sound pretty goofy in a good way LOL.
Ok
Is that the herta?
I can't work it out :(
Anyone know how the left hand pattern starts? Is is 1ea-2ea?
е1а-е2а
Si tu peux mettre les notes stp merci
think of it as an egg rolling down a slope...
