There is no 'downbeat' in African drumming . . . only 'additive', continual pulses, and no bar line. Different starting points for several players can also create a propulsive dynamo effect in the phrasing rhythms. Explore various groupings of these underlying (but silent) pulses: 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, and so on. And you do not need to play every single note of these additive pulses - use rests, and use accents. I like this rhythm. Drums sound nicely tuned.
. . . that smile when it kicked in. ❤Good on y'all.
have a merry Christmas

@@sthulander1 very interesting perspective! Love it. Thanks!
singing the drum melody would make it easier in some ways...
