Great Chacha pattern

This is a very practical pattern to use for playing chachachá. The pattern played with the left hand (cross stick and tom) is exactly what the conga part is for chachachá.

The top line is for cowbell or ride cymbal. You'll notice all eighth notes are played, with the downbeats being accented.

You'll be playing cross stick on the snare and tom, all with the left hand, if you're right handed.

Notice the bass drum is only played on the "and" of "2".

This pattern is to be played only if you are not playing with a conguero in your band.

Hi hat is not written. You can choose to play quarter notes or eighth notes. It's up to you. As with many of these grooves, the emphasis is FEEL.
