My Most Recent Class at
Musicians Institute

We just had a very cool class in our Brasilian Percussion class @ MI. Thanks to Dan Cook for emailing his class notes to me!

Now Dan...hmmm....we gotta talk about your transcribing!

1. The Baião - the bass drum should be dotted eighth note and sixteenth note, followed by eighth note rest, then eighth note. The top line is hi hat.

2. The "caixa" is for the rhythm called Maracatu. The first measure is combined with one of the next two measures.

3. The Marcante [like the surdo (not "serto") or bass drum] should be:
one quarter note, followed by eighth note rest then eighth note.

 

These rhythms can be applied to the drum set in some very cool ways.

1) Take the marcante pattern and use it with a back beat. Or use the "martello" pattern as a bass drum pattern or left foot (hi hat) pattern.

2) Try the caixa (snare drum) pattern as a fill.
