The best suggestion???? Play along with records...fast, slow with variations, with breaks...anything! Mambo, salsa, merengue, new, old, ..Listen, play, listen and pay attention to the different "tumbaos", imitate, etc, etc..
That is better than a metronome. The record will help you keep pace with the "rest" of the percussion or rhythm section that is important specially in latin music.....that is your metronome...
