Pilón for A New Son

Pilón reveals a Cuban pattern, traditionally played on Timbales, but in this case on Jr. Congas & Congas (with gated reverberation and flanger effect). The rhythm of Pilón is based on the motions of pounding sugar cane.

A new son reveals a blessing, traditionally played on your knee, but in this case the one I have in mind may be too big! (>12 lbs with cheeks to the neck!).

Thanks to Michael de Miranda for explaining Pilón to me.

Thanks to 2R for sharing the news with me… congrats!

Love the flange and the triangle (Or whatever steel you used) Goodness all over!!

@Shirt: *Pilón* is not only the name of this pattern, but also the name of a town on the southern coast of Cuba. Perhaps both Pilón coffee and the pattern are connected to that town in some way.

A great tribute to the new little man. Amazing track, really diggin this groove. :)

Norm said January 16, 2012 10:48pm

@Bee: I believe that you are referring to the first 3 off-beats of the measure, which are played on a wood-block heavily distorted with "gated reverb"... but I've never heard a chicken that sounds like that! :)

Guest said January 16, 2012 10:07pm

Love that rhythm Norm! What's the 3 repeated, quiet scraping sounds made by? Sounds a bit like a chicken! Interesting!

thetworegs said January 16, 2012 8:53pm
