Archive | The New Samba
How New Samba Begins:
After the entry finishes (final bom bom)
– surdo 1 and 2 begin playing
– The snares do 4 more hits da da da da
– The snares then play takaraka 4 times
– At the end of the 4 takarakas, surdo 3 begins its short push and the tams also begin their entry. (bells join them over the first bar)
– Once the tams entrada is finished, all instruments begin playing
