Book excerpt: This is an instructional book designed to teach the fundamentals of bata drumming through transcriptions of patterns (toques) used in afro-Cuban folkloric music. The author is Cuban master percussionist Eugenio Arango, who has over 30 years of experience teaching orchestral and fokloric percussion in Cuba and performing around the world. This book is intended for musicians that want to learn the patterns associated with each of the three bata drums, and how such patterns align in the toques presented. This book is unique because: (1) it introduces a novel, uncomplicated notation designed by the author, which shatters the perceived difficulties associated with bata drumming, and (2) it is straightforward, to the point, and remarkably implementable.
