Robby Ameen's "Spring Fling"

Robby Ameen's "Spring Fling"

[Download Link Below]

Robby Ameen’s drum solo from the track Spring Fling.

This is from Robby’s band Seis Del Solar, from the album Alternate Roots.

Album recorded May 1994.

Transcription sent to Modern Drummer in 2001, but never published. You get to see my fancy penmanship :)

  • Robby Ameen on Drums
  • John Benitez on Electric Bass
  • Oscar Hernandez on Keyboards
  • Bobby Franceschini on Saxophone
  • Ralph Irizarry on Timbales
  • Paoli Mejías on Congas

This was a tough one to transcribe.

It’ll take some time to work up.

I've included a recording of the entire track, one of the drum solo, and a pdf of the entire transcription.

Solo starts around 04:36.

If you get a chance, check out Robby’s book Afro-Cuban Grooves for Drum and Bass. I worked with this book a lot, and really loved it. Had a chance to take a few lessons with Robby in New York.
