There are several other parts that can be added:
Clave
Palitos in sync with the clave
Shekere
Cowbell
Bombo - you can simulate this with a Tumbadora horizontal on somebody's lap
Bongos
So right there you have 6 more players.
Also note that in AfroCuban music besides the percussion, there is a wealth of SONGS and dance. If you took a CD with 20 rumbas in it, Carlos Embale for example, you will find that if there were only instruments in the CD it will get quite repetitive after a while...but...once you add the singing/melodies, you add that human "heart" to it and each rumba becomes magically different than the others !
