Does anyone know the name and/or origin of this bembe-type bell pattern:
6/8 ||: x - x - x - | x x - x - x :||
As opposed to the standard:
6/8 ||: x - x - x x | - x - x - x :||
I heard one of the drummers with Don Pullen's African-Brazilian Connection using it, and I pull it out occasionally. I thought I read years ago that it was an African thing, but haven't been able find any information about it recently.
