This is a snippet from a drum solo I played during a masterclass in Orlienas, France, over a baiao feet ostinato. I hope you enjoy :D

[Fun ideas to play over an ostinato]
The second video of the serie is here!
This time, the idea is to play different melodies with the toms. The first melody is based on five 16th notes, the second with the 3 toms lasts seven 16th notes, and the last is a nine-16th note melody on the 4 toms!
The snare is here to remind us where is the one of each rumba clave round in 4/4.
That same principle of playing with melodies of different lengths applies on any ostinato you want to work on!
