CALYPSO

This  percussion riff is one of if not the favourite  patterns  of 
percussionist  Ralph MacDonald.  The bass drum starts out  with  a 
pretty  average phrase moving into a straight quarter note  groove 
as  does  the hi hat.  Gogo Bells play a continuous  and  hypnotic 
sixteenth  beat phrase while the congas play a  broken  syncopated 
sixteenth beat phrase.  All of this changes into a very funky drum 
and percussion pattern in the end.  Try jamming or writing  around 
any 8 or sixteen bar section.
