Other styles and ideas

As well as the Afro-Brazilian rhythms, we can be inspired by other styles such as Hip hop, Funk and Drum’n’bass. Here are a few examples for you to try. With all of them, start slowly and don’t be too impatient! You’ll get there but it’ll take time to get the rhythms flowing smoothly.

Solo Groove

46. Solo Groove 1 variation

Use your feet to move your body whilst playing the rhythm. Also, note the click after the right-foot stomp.

47. Solo Groove 2Emphasise the visual element of this groove by clicking out to each side.
