? for Phil Maturano RE: Soca Punch

[Gaddabout]

Hey Phil, on your video, on the bridge-like second chorus of Soca Punch, you play this really unusual baion-esque bass drum pattern and I didn't see it explaiend anywhere.

Is that just you being creative with the music, or is that actually a multi-bar ostinato found somewhere in the Latin-speaking world? (It grooved real hard with the bass, FWIW)

(And apologies if it's in there and I just spaced on the explanation)

Hi Gaddabout! Greetings from Austria:-) Sorry for the delay in responding. Lets see.....
2nd bridge...hmmm....maybe you can give me a time number reference? On the video?

On my youtube page or DW. I will get right back to you!
All the best

Phil is so nasty..... One of my inspirations for sure, especially for the Latin flavor!

[Phil Maturano]

Hahaaaaa...Thanks Funkydrummer. If only you were Cindy Crawford.

[funkydrummer]

It's from IC Part 2. Took me awhile to find it online. It's this one ... starts about 1:25. But as I watch again, looks like you stick with the general theme throughout the song ...

Now that I think about it I must've downloaded this video from the site thinking it was lost video from Part 1 -- I own the book and CD. Explains why I couldn't find an explanation!

The soca rhythm I'm familiar with is sort of a half of a 3:2 clave, which may or may not be "authentic." Certainly don't make this claim. But I REALLY REALLY dig it when drummers mix world rhythms and especially make up their own new things over traditional ideas, which is I guess what caught my ear with this tune.
