Brilliant tutorial, you are a great teacher! :) I think this is very useful for dancers too, it is a shame, that understanding of the music is often underestimated by them. I was not really sure about the mambo bell pattern before watching the video. I find it really helping. There is just one thing I would like to ask. In the 3/2 part, the mambo bell seems to be different, did you use different pattern or am I just missing something? :D thank you
@mitotianiMartin I agree, for dancers this is very useful and important too. In the 3/2 part I've used a different mambobell pattern. There are a lot of bellpatterns possible. The important thing is that it fits in the clave. The 2 parts of the clave have different kind of feelings: the 3 part has speed and the 2 part is like standing still. Those feelings should be in the mambobell patterns too.
Excellent! Getting the bells lined up with clave correctly is an often neglected, but very important, detail! For some reason, I never had made the connection that the low conga part is always on the 3 part of the clave. Very helpful!
@NRHarris Thank you for all of your compliments! Well, sometimes I listen to old records and I also hear that some people play the low conga part on the 2 part of the clave..... But most of my teachers told me it should be in the 3 part. So, I keep playing it this way.

But you have noticed it right! Good luck!
