You may have noticed I've been on rather light posting this last week. Expect that to continue for the next several days; this week I'll be recording my new CD
for the Origin label, Little Played Little Bird (the music of Ornette Coleman; stay tuned for info on pre-ordering!), and have been very busy with pre-production stuff. Mainly obsessing over my charts- transcribed off the record and arranged by me- and practicing.
Today at least I have some examples relating to my earlier
coordination kernels post. These are taken from Jim Chapin's
Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer, plus a couple of generic versions of the Afro-Cuban cascara, which you can read more about in Malabe & Weiner's
Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drumset, among other places:
Refer back to
the original post for instruction on how to apply my method. Note that each cascara groove is composed of three "kernels". Learn each one individually, and then put them together as outlined previously; first with open space between each kernel, then gradually flowing from one to the next until they make the desired rhythm of the complete groove.
