12/8 Afro-Cuban Groove | Ñáñigo-Inspired Drum Set Pattern

The beauty of 12/8 Afro-Cuban music is that sometimes the simplest part are the most important. In this groove, the bass drum and hi-hat stay locked on the pulse, creating a solid foundation for the rest of the ensemble. Rather than filling every space, the drum set supports the music by making the beat unmistakable.
