Toca's new 3/2 Clave Block (T32BY) is a combination of many influences. It gets its name from the "3/2 clave" that's a fundamental rhythm in Afro-Cuban music. It gets its shape from that of highly resonant Asian temple blocks. And it gets its very existence from the need of contemporary drummers and percussionists for a melodic block that can project through high-volume music, with stand the impact of hard playing, and fit virtually anywhere.

The distinctive bright-yellow body of the 3/2 Block is made of a durable composite material that creates clear, warm percussive tones. A specially contoured ridge on the top edge is designed to with stand repeated high impact while promoting projection. The block is sized and shaped to produce a medium-high pitch that fits melodically between many of the high- and medium-pitched blocks currently available on the market. This will appeal to drummers and percussionists seeking to expand their sonic palette.

Fitting a block on a drumkit or percussion setup can sometimes be a challenge, because space is always at a premium. The 3/2 Block meets this challenge with an innovative mount that allows the block to be swiveled from side to side without having to re-position the clamp. Once the optimum positioning has been achieved, the mount secures the block firmly, preventing any possible movement.

    Clave block

    Posted by Fairbanks, AK United States on 10th Jul 2014

    This block is a good size, well-made and a great value at the price. The sound is perfect for Latin music.
