Greeting to all,as a drummer /percussionist,the most important skill of a percussionist is how to set up percussion articulations of parameters,(what is called en Cuba buscar la formula), so not toget in the way of the other percussionist,or repeating the same musical phrase,and I absolutely agree that moving the parameters is the most difficult skills to understand and dominate in the percussion field.,it take a teacher becouse even your own brain could trick you out,(for beginers percussionists). after memorization of the musical phrase the percussionists learn to put that phrase in a metric pulse,and then to set up the phrase in the proper parameters,(in relation to the Clave,or Time Signature).Just a few cookies from your brother.Dr. Zaragemca
