Do Claves Make A Difference???

[@Meinl_Percussion_Official]

We have enjoyed this video very much Eric, great video and review of the Claves. Those B rolls are amazing!!!! Thanks a lot for the support and keep up the good work.

[@MusicByTomas]

I love the sound of fiberglass claves, they cut so beautifully, even though they aren't super authentic!

[@jcortez88]

My rate for me personally. 1. Hollow 2. Classic 3. Solid redwood 4. Mini luxe

[@tossedpenny]

I LOVE claves. I'm a guitar player and use them in home recording projects as an accent instrument to add some flavor and extra magic to the mixes. A clave clap placed at the right song spot with a touch of reverb added in just hits you in the soul. It amazes me that a simple and ancient instrument can make such a powerful statement in a mix.

[@drummonk3699]

GREAT SUBJECT! Thank you Eric!

[@Shaker4x4]

I have the thick solid redwood claves and say if they are held in an open hand / finger grip they are very loud and sharp. The others are not needed if you have their percussion blocks already. Unless you're fussy and after a specific tone.

[@juanjoseroldan2565]

I love the way you teach -with confidence- keep on trucking.😁😁😁

[@bongoscongasantiquecashreg4544]

Eric loved this!!! I have the meinl classic claves & LP Aspire claves so two different kinds for different tones gotta love it!!!

[@hbermpi]

Wood clave classic my favorite but the hollow has more flavor and sings and more versatile. LP has or use to have a fiber glass clave, it cuts through in a live gigs ( it's heavy though).

[@SandMDOTCOM1]

Thanks for making this... I'm in the market!

[@mrcjgreer19]

Hi, Love this, love the channel so much, thank you. Can you break down the pattern that you play at 11 minutes and 8 seconds into this video please? It sounds awesome!! Thanks

[@bRealBlknsexi]

Redwood african hollow CL3RW is my fav of all of them!

[@SENC2014]

Wood clave classic and redwood african hollow

[@AldeanLeger]

Great videos bro! I have the regular 8" x1" solid Meinl claves like you except mine are the blonde hardwood not the rosewood. Is it okay if I hit the cowbell with them once in awhile? Like if they get dented will it fuck up the tone? Thanks!

[@APercussionLife]

I personally wouldn't use them on a cowbell just out of risk for damaging it as well as hindering the tone it gives.

[@playing_jazz]

My number one criteria for a clave is how fast it makes my ears ring lol. It's a good and bad thing you know outdoors or in a big venue that's great. Playing along to rumba records and recording indoors.... I mean some sets have my ears ringing for a day in less than 3 minutes. Nice video friend I was looking for a video like this when I replaced my ear destroying set I went with a small business but I probably would have just got the hollows if I seen this you sold them well.

[@deepsoulfulsounds]

So satisfying!

Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos 👍

[@危险小蜜蜂麻雀]

Do u have the link of the product at 6:07 ? Appreciate u so much

Eric, I don't think I would buy claves without a physical sound test. I went through maybe 20 pairs when I bought my granadillo rumba claves in Havana, as there was a big variance in tone even though the shapes was identical. Same with the smaller "salsa" claves. I agree that the larger rumba claves were the pick of them. I though those mini-deluxe ones were not up to it, tone-wise. @Alxtago - agreed

[@Alxtago]

Hey brother, you can make small improvements to the way you're holding it, it'll give you a different feel and sound on each one of those. Bless

[@hbermpi]

I thought Eric managed that well; he played each clave consistently to independently evaluate and compare each of their own tones.

[@Alxtago]

@@hbermpi I thought so as well 👍🤎

[@justskins]
