video:

Percussionist plays cascara with right hand, congas with left while keeping time and 2/3 Son Clave with feet. Rhythm with right hand changes to agogo bells and left hand conga rhythm changes as well. Press tones are played with left hand on tumba and hi-hat augments the rhythm--time and clave remain steady throughout rhythm. Category: Music
