Check out this video lesson - Basics! Screaming Clave: Big Beats Based on Afro-Caribbean Rhythms (From the September 2014 Issue) buff.ly/1oj50Ot by Rich Redmond Clave comprises the root rhythms used as the basis for most Afro-Caribbean music. These rhythms are two measures long (written in cut time), with three notes in one measure and two notes in the other. If you play the three-note measure first, its called 3-2 clave. If you play the two-note measure first, its called 2-3 clave. There are two types of clave: son and rumba. The difference between them is the phrasing of the three-note measure. If the notes are evenly spaced, its son. If the third note is delayed, its rumba. These clave rhythms have been seeping into popular music for many years, in songs such as Johnny Otiss Willie and the Hand Jive and Totos Rosanna. Youll hear these rhythms in classical music and jazz as well; theyre everywhere. In this article Ive written some rocking and funky grooves that utilize the universal clave patterns. Play them with a click track or metronome at all tempos and dynamic levels. For transcriptions of the beats in this lesson, check out the complete article in the September 2014 issue of Modern Drummer. #drums #drummers #drumming #video #videos #youtube #lesson #RichRedmond
