Beyond Salsa for Beginners - Rhythmic Exercises 3: Dance and Clave Rhythms

Chapter 3 consists of basic rhythms that repeat after four beats, such as clave, the basic dance step, and most of the basic parts of the timbales, drums, congas and bongó.

EXCERPT FROM BEYOND SALSA FOR BEGINNERS, CHAPTER 3:
