The claves are sticks that are used to play out one of several distinct rhythmic patterns that gives the number its character as a specific type of dance or song. The patterns are sometimes complex and the differences among similar 'claves' can be subtle. The instruments and voices play with the clave rhythms to produce very engaging and hypnotic effects.

What instruments are in samba music?

The most important instrument in a band is the one that sets pitch. Pitch tends to be set by keyboard, be it piano or the synthesizer of rock bands. But some bands may not have keyboard. A rock band without keyboard sets pitch by its lead guitarist. Its drumplayer sets the secondary and tertiary concerns of rhythm and tempo. A strictly brass band sets pitch by its most important instrument, the trumpet. A strictly military band sets pitch by the oboe. A strictly string band sets pitch by the first violin.
