NB: Cowbells (or 'ga' bells as their African originals were known) are often used in Candomble to mark time, as they can be seen to do here. Another cowbell pattern is used to accentuate the off beat giving the sound a samba reggae type swing.

NB: The intro break is of indefinite length and can be used by the mestre to build the bateria up in volume and complexity before the main groove starts.
Everyone ( except agogo, cowbell, Chocalho and timba) plays this phrase on a continuous cycle with four beats rest on alternate bars.
Agogo and cowbells start playing their main groove immediately after the phrase has been played by everyone for the first time. From that point they start playing their main pattern through the rest of this break.
Gradually other sections will also be called in to start their main pattern, whilst the remainder of the bateria carries on with the continuous cycle of the phrase above followed by a four bar rest.
Repiques, once signalled to start playing in this break, play their phrase at the end of break 3 instead of their main pattern.
The main intro ends by the calling of break 1 below (which falls into the logical sequence of the phrase played in the intro break). Everyone plays break 1; at the end one which all instruments play their main pattern. The strength and accuracy of the bateria is important at this point.
