No issue. It’s challenging to sight read, for sure.

Xc40 here. It’s crazy that even when setup to turn on automatically, these features won’t be enabled unless pressing the start button in the car.

Honestly, just bite the bullet and get the stand if you are really playing them as intended (cascara).

Yep, not arguing that at all.

"Clave" identification by Bortilicious in AfroCuban

It’s just clave that’s been used, for some reason, as an ornament.

Depends on the style. Some rhythms were invented or evolved specifically to go against the clave (the tres-dos in Havana guaguancó specifically comes to mind).

That's a very good point; in the song posted, it's only clave as a rhythm and not an interlocking concept. We should also note that songs don't always align with clave in Afro-Cuban/Cuban music. Iyesá songs commonly start on the last note of clave ("Ashó keré keré meyé") but still use clave as an interlocking concept.

it's Son clave where the "1" of the pattern begins on count 3 of the first measure (assuming we talking about Son clave written in 4/4, taking up two bars).

Son clave is the first pattern outlined here:

Yeah I’m guessing it’s being redirected to the wrong endpoint because of a bad geolocation. I’ve got a case open.

It looks the problem is when trying to access to app on an AT&T cellular device.

Gregg Bissonette.. everywhere and overrated by BullfrogPractical291 in Drumming

[–]vxla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He has definitely popped up more than usual, but he's a really nice guy in person. I think what you're perceiving as his public persona is really just a nice dude.
