I'm still figuring out notation for the Break...


Key:
X = loud bell/block/clave/shekere  x = quiet bell/block/clave/shekere
K = Kenkeni (high pitch Dun Dun)   k = trapped/closed* Kenkeni
G = Sangban (mid pitch Dun Dun)    g = trapped/closed* Sangban
D = Dununba (low pitch Dun Dun)    d = trapped/closed* Dununba
B = drum bass tone                 b = drum bass tone flam ("bdum")
O = drum open tone ("top")         o = drum open tone flam ("plum")
S = drum slap tone                 s = drum slap tone flam
E = drum edge tone ("ping")        e = drum edge tone flam ("pling")
W = drum slap + wave :-)           r = right (/strong) hand
Z = trapped/closed* slap tone      l = left (/other) hand
F = flam (strong then other hand)  f = flam (other then strong hand)
t = touch/tip/ghost/timing note    h = heel (conga timing note)
. = rest (or ghost/timing note)    | = bar line
- = sustain the previous note      : = repeat
> = accent                         + = continue onto next line

*tone to be damped with hand/beater
