Five Sisters

Time Signature: 
4/4
Chart: 

I created this rhythm based off of a simple arrangement of short repeating patterns. The five sisters are the five notes played in different intervals - you can add several more layers to this to diminishing (in my opinion) effect. I was aiming for somehting of the hyper-fast West African 2/4 rhythms; giving the call-and-response accents makes this a 4/4, but still feels incredibly fast.

Notes:

  • The first note of the bass is a flam with both bass and stick.
  • The "touch" (t) of the bucket is on the bucket base, but off the center to give it a softer tone.
