This is a rhythm I saw Larry Wright (famous NYC Bucket Drummer) play in video that went viral in 2004.
He is one of the original bucket drummers.
You can find his videos online or see him playing in the subway stations of NY.

This is fun danceable groove.
It’s not easy and it might take some time to learn but
once you get it, you’ll be sure to impress lots of people. 🙂
This beat can be played on one bucket but
I decided to add another bucket for a different timbre
(“tam-ber”- quality of a sound).
Latin + Funk = Latin Funk
This Latin rhythm close to a Cascara pattern.
The only difference is there is an extra note in the cascara pattern
that isn’t played here.
I learned this rhythm from my high school drum line and have
been playing with it ever since.
sheet music coming soon…

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!
