Tony Allen: The 5 Major Drum Patterns of Afrobeat

TONY ALLEN: The first pattern of Afrobeat goes like this… That's one pattern. Ok? There's another pattern. I'm just demonstrating but it goes it goes and goes and goes on and on and on and that's Afrobeat. because Afrobeat it– has different varieties of rhythms, you know? It may be because I'm in control of that. Maybe that's why– I don't know how to stop. I don't know how to stop, uh– stop inventing different beats,
you know? because after all when I'm bored with a particular beat, I need to change– I need to create another one, you know. but all what I'm doing is on 4/4. 4/4 time signature you know, so it's just a question of the
composition of the patterns. How to put them together. you know? So, but the most
important part of it is that any drummer who wants to play Afrobeat, the first one
is the first pattern I played, that one. If you know that, you can go anywhere.
You can be in any Afrobeat band.

Easily. So that's my advice. [©2020 Rest In Beats LLC].
