SO many drs play it wrong. I’m sick of the fight. Thank u for this

[@RhythmNotes]

I played it wrong for years until I was taught the right way. And it changed the way I heard music in so many ways.

[@NotTheBot]

@@RhythmNotes ie. rhythm flows forward. It doesn’t echo. Yeah?

[@RhythmNotes]

For sure!

Welcome

[@hankigoe829]

the wikipedia page for the cascara/bell pattern has a standard pattern that uses 16th notes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_pattern#Standard_pattern Where would the accents go for that pattern? Thanks

[@RhythmNotes]

I don’t write it in sixteenth notes because Afro-Cuban music is arranged in cut time. This places clave and patterns like cáscara (based on clave) over two bars - outlining the two sides of clave (2 hits and three hits or 3 hits and two hits). … A lot of the African bell patterns are written in 4/4 or 12/8, but cáscara is Afro-Cuban and has been developed in the dance halls of the Americas and commercialized by professional musicians for decades.

What if I write it in 2/4?
