This pattern originates from the rumba in Cuba. Before it was played on timbale shells, it was played on furnature, mounted bamboo pieces, etc., etc. with palitos (little stix) or spoons - whatever was around that made a high sound to carry over drums and vocals. And variants of the pattern can be heard all thru a lot of trad' African music, so, yeah, it goes way back.
Sometimes I think I'm not that much of a drummer. Then I see a bunch of other teenagers in my recommended videos, with stick tricks and tours of their Joey Jordison Alpha cymbals, and feel comforted in the knowledge that, at least, some of us are trying to spend their time and money doing some actual playing.
Thank you so much for this lesson (and your others)!
with all due respect,i think the cascara is a pattern and not a rhythm,like the 2-3 and 3-2 son and rhumba clave is a rhythmic pattern,a rhythm would be like the songo,the mozambique,the conga,cha cha cha,pilon,danzon,etc.
@jesamani75 It really depends how you want to use the word. Yes it could be used to describe rhythm-defined styles like "The Cha Cha Cha Rhythm" etc but then again may not work for non-rhythm-defined styles like "The Blues Rhythm". The word rhythm just means a regular pattern of movement or sound and that works for Cascara.
nice and easy to follow =)
