Nice! I love the conjunction of the two worlds: african yoruba culture and bonzo's heavy drumming! Congrats on your interesting kit, keep it up. Where are you located? I live in México and have a World Music band called Mantis Khan. You can look us up in You tube, of coures. Greetings from Javier Sosa in México City.
I also read about you in Modern Drummer, it's great to see/hear you play these drums, after only seeing an photo in the magazine. Great creativity/talent.
The clave you are describing is the Rumba Clave, but the clave you are playing is the Son Clave (with beats on 1, 3, 5 of first measure, and 2, 4 of the second measure)
I played gungodo (12x) and godo patapata (6 times)along on jembe. Fun
The first time Baba heard me play was on the congas and my hands were purple.
I went to africa 4 times with Baba. Baba and his small (6 piece) band performed an African wedding ceremony for my wife, Latifa and I in front of 120 guests.
DUUUUDE YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! YOU CARRY THE FIRE!! AWESOME VIBES MAN!!!! MUCH LOVE FROM ATLANTA :)

6/8 with the clave 3-2?
ReyConga 3 years ago
Yes, it is a 6/8 3-2 clave. It has been notated in several books including 'Salsa! The Rhythm of Latin Music.'
With six to the bar, the beats fall on 1, 3, and 6 in the first measure, and on 2 and 4 in the second.
