Timbales - Mambo bell & clave

This is a video tutorial for my students that need to learn how to play a Mambo on the timbales

Hi, I was listening to a Salsa song and trying to differentiate the Mambo bell from the Bongo bell. At 2:22 in this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/foKVZZmJe6l3m5o), there's one kind of bell playing, and then another one comes in at 2:28. I'm pretty sure that the second one is the Bongo bell. Is the first one (at 2:22) the Mambo bell pattern?

That is a GREAT tune! Thanks for sharing. From what I understand, the bongo bell is played by the Bongosero/a while the Timbalero/a is playing the mambo bell - all percussion is considered "up" e.g. during the coro, with horns, and generally louder sections.. but each song and arrangement is unique :) Have fun!

@@STEAMAcademyMusic thanks so much. I now believe that the section at 2:22 is in fact the mambo bell pattern, but it sounds different because of accented playing and some notes bring drowned out.

Clave is to be felt not heard! It's the left hand that plays in zink with the tumbao on the tumbadora.
