This groove will probably take more time to learn
because it has a higher level of coordination than the previous grooves.

The sticking pattern goes like this…
– – R –   – R – –   R – – R   – – R –
L – – L  L – – L   L – – L   L – – L

-An added bonus: when you understand the Bossa Nova Clave,
you’ll hear it all the time in pop music.
Especially, when you flip it to its 3/2 pattern.

I’d love to see a video of you playing this.
Send me a video when you can play it.

Have fun!

I went on tour with Gina Chavez last week playing keyboard and drums all through El Salvador. Along the way I had the opportunity to also teach a little bucket drumming at an amazing school in Perquin called Amun Shea.

Here are some pictures….
