Initial Percussion Ideas

Take 1

Whilst it is out of time, the claves and shakers are key instruments in Latin styles so if I fix the timing, it’ll already start sounding how I want it to sound.

Take 2

Brass follows the piano around 40 seconds. Very basic and boring. Again, how well does the solo piano connect with the Montuno?

Take 3

Cowbell is very important to Latin styles but it’s slightly out of time.

Take 4

Claves and bongos are key, it’s very catchy beat and a good basis to work off but it definitely needs more instruments.

Learning percussive beats on the bongos when I wanted to record percussion in live but then chose to use Logic instead as it’s easier and will save me some time.
