hi phil,

i was wondering if you could link/suggest any typical latin styled 5/8 or 7/8 clave patterns?
9 or 11 are ok too, but i thought the shorter ones would be easier to start.

its to use against 4/4 - just some ideas i want to work out for grooves.

thanks.

matt

I love your playing, you always sound great, no matter the situation. So what was the one album that inspired you to drum?
Thanks in advanced

Thanks for the kind words bro.

I cant say there was one album. There were so many factors.
I would have to say it was James Brown at first. Hearing that stuff freaked me out as a kid.
And you?

Peace

Well its a tough choice but when I first heard moving pictures by Rush, I knew i had to step up my game and then I discovered more and more music of all styles, its a never ending process that I love

Hey Phil,
I just got back from your clinic at Drumtech, London. It was one of the best live performances I have ever seen. I have always been interested in Afro-cuban stuff, but have never really tried learning it on the drumset. After that performance I think I am going to start very soon though.

Could you tell me some Voodoo dance-type music that you were talking about in the clinic, to get me started with this kinda stuff?? There was this one particular section in one of the tracks you were playing along to which was somewhere in between a 2 and a 3 feel (2 and 3 is the same, right? :p) which I found very interesting, rhythmically. So I was just wondering what I should listen to to get started because there is a lot of stuff out there.

Regards,
Kartikeya.

Hey bratha Karti'

Thank you for the kind words and I am very happy you enjoyed it.

There are many things you can listen to, to get your feet wet with this genre.
But the first i always recommend...is "Muñequitos de Matanza"
Google them and get everything you can find that they have done. Its really a beautiful way to start and so much fun!!

If you can remind me of which track you mean. The one with the super stretchy feel?
If it was a play along track it could have been "Doin the Duhs" From my book..."Working the Inner Clock"

If not write me back and let me know.
All the best and stay in touch

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I checked out a couple of the albums of that band. Very interesting stuff. I wish I could understand their language though.
Yes, I think it was "Doin the Duhs". Very groovy song. Are those tracks from your book sequenced ? And if so how did you manage to put a swing for that kinda feel?
For now I am just waiting for your dvd to show up, and then I can begin the 20 years of my life that are needed just to get the co-ordination for this kinda stuff :p.
Oh, what is the Argentinian (It was Argentinian right?) gangster music you were talking about? Whats it called??

Regards,
Kartikeya.

Phil Maturano · #**255** 11-09-2009, 03:11 AM

The gangster groove from Argentina ....Its called Cumbia Villera.:-)

I swish around the feel of it because I am kind of used to playing that way. Its mix of 6 and 2, but you can be real precise with it in sequenced tracks. Makes the tracks come alive!

If you check out "Latin soloing for the Drumset" and the theory of RTS it will clear up lot of things.

it wont take 20 years:-) Do your thing and it will be there before you know it!

Big hugs
