15-6 Tresillo; The Mother Rhythm and Variations

Tresillo Patterns

Here are audio examples of the variations of rhythmic groupings of 3+3+2 and just a few options of variations that are available for the pattern. You can see how by using your range of voices (bass, tones, slaps, mutes, etc) you can be creative in how you use this pattern. Note, one time varations are an interesting way to be expressive in the moment. Repetition of the variation creates a groove that enables others to interact with your ideas and weave something polyrhythmic.
