Video on cowbell and Clave rhythm

Probably a bit basic for the seasoned players here, but this video is right to the point, and shows how to play the cowbell along a 3-2 Clave rhythm:

Yup! Simply and correctly explained. That looks/sounds like an LP ES-3 Bongo Hand Bell.

I came across this video with this young guy playing the cowbell on a tumbao base track. I post below both the the cowbell video and the base track that he used.

Looking at the comments on the videos, some people complained that the cowbell player was just "free styling" without concern for the key.
Similar criticisms for the base track: some posters felt the track was not really complying with the Clave.

What do you think ?
