So here’s what we were setting up with that last thing— a page of Mozambique for the drum set:
Work up each pattern individually until it feels good, and then combine parts as you see fit according to your needs. I personally am running them first as written, then + hihat, then + hihat and bass drum. If you’re using them in a jazz context, you can do basically whatever you like, that doesn’t get you fired; if you plan on playing salsa (so-called) for real, there’s a definite right and wrong way to do it, and a lot of further study will be required. Some of the patterns relate to the audio from the previous post, so do refer back to that.
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
