Mancha Verde Breaks

These breaks are named after, and taken directly from some videos of Bateria Mancha Verde, a well-known bateria in Brazil.

They are also referred to colloquially as "Munchie Veggies" and are signaled with a hand gesture resembling a chewing mouth.

These breaks can be used in Bezerra or Conversação. {{Legend }}
 * m or M - muted hit. Hold one hand on the drum head while hitting it with a mallet with the other hand. (M is louder than m.)
 * h - hand hit with left (or non-dominant) hand.
 * R - regular hit with right (or dominant) hand.

Chart
Caixa Ride: Salguero

Pattern 1 - This two-bar pattern is repeated ad lib.:

Then into pattern 2, but 3rds play the below pattern in place of the 1st 2 bars of the pattern on the 1st time only. (Ed.: this is confusing!)

Pattern 2 This pattern can be repeated (though usually we play it once):

3rd call in: The 3rds start this call on bar 11 (or the last bar) of their phrase. The rest of the Bateria comes in on beat 2 of the 6th bar of the call.

Recordings
Here’s a long video mainly focusing on the 3rds. Our version of the intro will be much shorter. The transition from 3rd pattern 1 to pattern 2 happens about 1:45, the call in happens at 3:35. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCniVinwbSM
