A BRIEF HISTORY OF STREET BEATS The term “Street Beat” is an umbrella term that refers to New Orleans second-line, Mardi Gras Indian, and parade rhythms.

CONGO SQUARE

New Orleans was the only city in America to allow African slaves to practice their own ceremonies of religion, song and dance on American soil. These ceremonies were allowed to take place in Congo Square, an open area just outside of the French Quarter (now Louis Armstrong Park). The rhythms of West Africa, Haiti, Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean that slaves were forced to migrate to, were played and further developed in the Square. From this rich rhythmic history arose New Orleans second-line and Mardi Gras Indian rhythms.

SECOND-LINE The traditional New Orleans syncopated Second-line comes from a unique combining of European and Civil War marches with African and Caribbean rhythms (namely clave) kept alive in Congo square. So when brass bands began leading funeral parades through the streets of New Orleans (around the turn of the 20th century), the snare drummers and bass drummers eventually began infusing some

of the rhythms that crept out of Congo square. While the front line of the parade was made up of the hearse and the family of the deceased, the band and the group of dancers that would follow were called the Second-line. Hence the term “second-line rhythms.”

MARDI GRAS INDIANS

These groups, tribes or gangs, were often befriended by Native American Indians. To show gratitude the Mardi Gras Indians adapted some of the culture of the American Indians, namely their head-dresses and costumes. These tribes sew their elaborate costumes all year long to parade them on Mardi Gras Day. The rhythms draw their roots from African and Caribbean ideas kept alive in Congo Square. The grooves are played on bass drums (usually turned sideways and often without a bottom head), tom-toms, snare drums (usually with snares off), calfskin-headed tambourines, cowbells and sometimes congas and liquor bottles. The chants that the tribes sing are ages old and are usually non-English hybrids of several languages. The tribe and the Big Chief go back and forth with calls and responses (for example, Tribe: “Hey pocky-a-way”; Chief: “Tu way pocky-a-way”).

Clinic Topics Traditional Approach

The most common traditional Second-line groove is usually based off of the RLRL-RLRL sticking.

One of the key elements to remember when playing this music is to accent the big FOUR. The big four is the last beat in the second measure of the groove. It is also the last note of the underlying 2-3 clave. Notice the clave and the big four in these next variations.

Modern Approach This approach is based on different stickings. This is the RRLR-RLRL sticking.

When you alter the accents and/or change the sound sources that the stickings are played on you can come up with an infinite amount of grooves and variations. Here’s one that could work in a Latin context.

The next examples are based off the sticking RLRR-LRRL-RRLR-RLRL. Notice that the second two beats of this groove are just the RRLR-RLRL sticking.

This next groove works well with the previous grooves. I’ll often use one of the previous grooves as the main part of a tune and use this groove as a fill. Again notice that the second half of the groove is the RRLR RLRL sticking.

This groove is comprised of a two beat sticking that can emphasize a four beat clave. The sticking is LLRLRLRR-LLRL-RLRR. Notice how the 3-2 clave is split up between the hands.

Here is a variation I use.

With all of these grooves it is important to play with a feel that is in between straight and swung. Also don’t forget to accent the big four (the and of 4 if you’re dealing with 16th notes). It is very important to check out the masters of this style of drumming—Zigaboo Modeliste (The Meters), Russell Batiste (The Funky Meters), John Vidacovich (Professor Longhair, John Scofield, Astral Project), Herlin Riley (Wynton Marsalis), Willie Green (The Neville Brothers), Herman Ernest (The Neville Brothers, Doctor John), James Black (Eddie Bo, Ellis Marsalis), Freddie Staehle (Doctor John), Idris Muhammad (Grant Green, Lou Donaldson, John Scofield), Jenell Marshal and Lionel Batiste (Dirty Dozen Brass Band), and Ajay Mallery and Keith Frazier (Rebirth Brass Band).
