I was watching the Who on the Isle of Wight in 2004 the other night. Zac Starkey was playing what I always thought were called claves to rhyme with caves or braves or knaves.
Roger Daltrey called them clarvays to rhyme with, well nothing I can think of.
Is it clarvays or claves?
No idea, never seen it but I bet it was the intro to Magic Bus.Roger Daltrey called them clarvays to rhyme with, well nothing I can think of.

They are claves. Pronounced Clar-veys.
I've written for them when I recorded in Cuba.
..and when I say written for them, when I got it wrong, I had the Cuban rhythm police on my back telling me where exactly I was in error.
Claves are used to signify a particular rhythm in Latin American music, often derived from the African tradition (I know, you're bored already).
Long / short of it, Cuba demands that the original patterns are used - it's kinda' cultural.
You hear them a lot in Bossa Nova and various rhumba tracks.
Here's one of many of mine - the claves are playing in the RIGHT place!! (or I'd be in trouble)

12,123…. Or 123,12 :-) I’ve never understood which one is right for what. Someone did explain it to me about 20 years ago but I’ve had a few sleeps since. I've written for them when I recorded in Cuba.
