percussion help for latin drums

[Deleted]

I am hoping to get a little help finishing a piece I have been working on for concert band. I simply can not (read: too lazy) learn to write good drum patterns.  I am looking for some help on a salsa/tango piece.  Let me know if you are interested in helping and I will send the piece to you.  I am writing in Sibelius 7, but I can pdf the score and an mp3.

 ps.  You should expect I will absolutely steal any assistance you provide, but I can put your name on the piece, which will likely only ever been seen by my band

Have you tried the ideas tab?

Are you writing this for a drum set or a group of percussion players?

"Salsa music is a general term referring to a genre that is essentially Cuban and Puerto Rican popular dance music"

Sala is very generic and a lot of Cuban and Latin players do not like the term.

Try goggling "tango Drum pattern" that will get you a bunch of ideas.

well, I dove in and found some basic tango and latin drum patterns that hopefully will be a sufficient guide for our drummer. Sibelius was easier than I thought it would be, after getting some basics down.

thanks.
