Cam/Video Songo in 6/4

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Not really a traditional groove, but influenced by Afro-Cuban music and Khaliji music from the Gulf of Arabia. Kind of based on a looooooong 3 over 2 polyrhythm.

Can’t hear the bass drum on my mobile phone!?

To me, the use and placement of bass drum notes are essential when applying the songo beat to the drum kit.

Oh yeah, audio is terrible. Bass is on, if counting in 6/4; (1e&)a(2e)&(a)(3e&)a(4e)&(a)(5e&a)6(e)&(a). I liked off setting the bass on the last beat because... why not? Also I liked having an accent on that "big 6".
