Probably my only post this week— we’re having a wild end of 2022 around here, with my family experiencing an ongoing medical emergency, and I’m having to travel to Eugene a lot.
So here’s a nice easy loop for practicing bossa nova, samba and baiao rhythms at a slower tempo, about 110 bpm. Sampled from All Around, from Bebel Gilberto’s great self titled album from 2004.
My labels for Brazilian music related stuff are kind of a mess— most of the transcriptions and practice materials can be found under Bossa Nova and Brazil.
Anyway happy 2023, in a couple of days— I’ll be back with some new stuff next week.
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.
