Main Ride
All instruments have a one-bar phrase except Surdo 4, which has a two-bar phrase.

Break 1
Called in with four whistle blows, played once.

Breakdown
The Breakdown is signaled but not called in with the whistle. Instead, the repinique plays this while everyone continues with the ride:

Then the band responds: Caixas then play their ride pattern while everyone else plays four hits: Timbals join on their ride pattern: This is then repeated until Break 3 is called:

Break 3
Played once and then back to the ride.
