What are Claves?
The standard clave pattern, which is the base of most Latin rhythms features a basic beat that
is played over two measures in 2/2 time.
There are four types of Cuban clave rhythms: 3-2 son clave, 2-3 son clave, 3-2 rumba clave,
and 2-3 rumba clave.
“Clave” is Spanish for “pivotal or key point.” Originally, any instrument used to beat out the
critical notes fundamental to a piece of music was referred to as “clave,” and “claves” came to
refer to the most basic rhythms played with these instruments.
When selecting claves for the rhythm type, set the rhythm (p. 29) to “4” (4/4 time
signature; 2/2 time is shown in the score).
