Philip demonstrates a basic samba pattern on the pandeiro, a type of Brazilian tambourine. The pattern comprises the basic subdivisions of the samba — four subdivisions per each of the four main beats of the cycle. First, he demonstrates the four strokes slowly. Then he plays the pattern a bit faster, adding both the typical accents on the first and fourth subdivision of each beat and the special rhythmic phrasing, or “swing,” of the samba. See below for a link to the “Samba New York! – Bateria 101” video, which provides more information about the basic subdivisions and characteristic “swing” of the samba rhythm.
