Rumba clave time!
This is the first video of a little serie on "fun ideas to play over any ostinato".
I choose the rumba clave 2-3 as the ostinato I'll work on (since I'm actually working on it these days haha).
In this video, the idea is to play one 16th note over 2, then two 16th notes over 3, then three 16th notes over 4, etc... until 8 16th notes over 9. That automatically creates shifts since the rumba ostinato is made of sixteen 16th notes (in the way I count it). This is very fun to work on and creates interesting musical ideas! You can apply it over any ostinato you want.
The sticking is simple: only an alternance of right/left whatever happens.
I hope you'll enjoy it, and see you soon for the next video of this serie!

If you wanna dive deeper into how to create and master this kind of original rhythm, and use polymeters in your playing, compositions and creativity in general, I wrote a drum method, The Polyrhythm Odyssey, dedicated to it. You can find it here:

To anyone that would like the related DRUMS SHEET
An already-written sheet gives the answer. It's by trying to write it yourself that you will understand how things interlock together and that you'll make some concrete progress! Don't hesitate to DM me on instagram so I can check if you got it right.
But if you don't wanna bother, you can buy it straight away on my website:
