MODERN Timbale patterns video
Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 2:16 pmGuys,
I have the Changuito Book on Timbales and have learned a lot on my own from performing in Latin circles. I'm also a drummer and I regularly play Timba/Songo styles of music. I own the Drumset Artists of Cuba video and Ignacio Berroa Drumset video and I've learned a lot from them too.
But...I find that one part of modern Salsa playing or Timba playing on Timbales is missing from instructional materials (or is it?) I cannot find any book or video combination that successfully covers different type of intricate, Timbale variations...that ones that you often hear Marc Quinones, Tito De Gracia, and other Timbale players do on most MODERN salsa records. I'm talking about the intricate rhythms usually performed on a combination of Chacha, Clave block, and Timbale bell (with the ocassional Snare drum accent).
Is there are video out there that dedicates itself to teaching patterns for Chacha, Jibaro, Songo, MOzambique, Salsa, and Timba...but for a more MODERN touch to playing. There's plenty of books that teach BASIC patterns for these styles, but nothing that highlights what new players are doing with the genre.
Any Thoughts?
