Giraldo
Piloto Barreto is a great drummer. Believe
me! Most of you have not heard of Piloto. Piloto lives
in the the Playa neighborhood of Havana, Cuba. He's
the leader of the Cuban band KLIMAX and one of my
best friends. What an amazing drummer. Piloto also
composes and arranges for KLIMAX as well as many other
groups and vocalists.
You
can hear KLIMAX here and
also purchase their latest CD, which is absolutely
amazing music!!
This
is one of many, many patterns that Piloto uses. The
right hand plays mambo bell (called contracampana),
which is mounted on the rim of the bass drum.
The left hand plays hi hat and snare drum.
Have fun with this.
It's what I'm practicing now!
I
put up this lesson about a week ago and now I'm seeing
how difficult this groove is! So, I'm re-writing and
re-presenting the lesson as I am learning the groove.
Here's
just the hi hat and snare, both played with the left
hand. Following that example, you'll see the bass
drum has been added.
