Take a look at this wonderful video.

I'm working on the cowbell groove from the 15-30 second mark. Am I right in thinking he's working a baiao/tresillo pattern? I know there's a lot of improvised embellishment in there, but it seems to me to be based off this basic pattern.
The cowbell is basically playing the tresillo, with the snare accenting beat 4 of the backbeat. Am I right?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
The whole video is killer, by the way.
