This is Gold for me as a Samba Reggae and Repenique beginner! ❤ (New member of Sol Samba bateria in Oxford, UK)

I THINK I can. I THINK I can.

Fast forward to 09:42 for the basic pattern

Thank you Philip!

That was nice piece of history there! Amazing! It makes so much sense. And the same original rhythm reminds from some repique intros as well.

I feel it in my heart.

I THINK I can. I THINK I can.

Really interesting to see it broken down like this.

Awesome sound 👌🏼

Hi Phillip, I have posted this video on our Blyth Samba Valley group page, and we have decided to learn to use all our musical instruments as is in this video. Thanks always for your videos x

Hi Phillip, Thank you very much. You are brilliant 👏 😀 We are now practising the techniques in this video. Its fun 😅

Absolutely awesome

Trad grip on caixa love it

I think that I can do it quite well but my hands are getting tired after a while. Do U have tips?

Thanks very much for this Phil. I'm interested that you count samba in 4. I tend to think of it in 2, as essentially a marching rhythm.

Thank you, Philip. I am very grateful for your help on Samba beats. Our teacher passed away, (leaving us about 100 Samba Band instruments) at a very young age, and we carried on his dream. I am going to drill this into my head, and then hopefully, I can manage to pass this on and explain what I've learnt from your videos. I'm in a group called Blyth Valley Samba, North East, England. You are my hero at the moment ❤️. Cheers!🎉😊

I like how coordinated everyone was loo and also the guy with yhe black shirt has some dope shoes:p

Missed out on the live

3:57

This is amazing!

Thank you so much!

What is the meaning of quente?

Feels like the beginning of a movie

Nice analysis 👍 Thanks for sharing.

I hear the carreteiro rhythm in cavaquinho patterns too, though they often seem to turn it up and down as they please.

Muito legal 👍

These videos are all great!!

Hey, ive been playing surdo for the past 3 months, this is something unique!

I want to practice this song with you guys. Love it

I live in the northeast of England, and i really appreciate your teaching as I am a beginner Samba player. It's a lot of fun when we (a group of 20 players) get it right. Thank you very much for your videos. ❤❤

This is very nice explanation. For the accents part is also depending on what style you are playing and tuning. For common styles it's usually best to play with the 1 surdo but with some tunings 1 and 3 do not sound so good together. I think that's the difference of teachers because it's dependant of the style and tunings.

🔥🔥

Good one! I would add to keep the buzz or press roll very short as it helps a lot on the higher tempi. Also personally not a fan of doing it consistently, prefer jt as a quick variation.

thank you

Idiota play so stupid

Nice !!

Buzz roll technique video please, Mestre, and how you can incorporate into typical samba/ samba reggae patterns on caixa. You always explain things so well. Not many videos out there on how to actually do these smoothly and without losing a beat in the effort. Thank you as always

Oh yes this is exactly up my street as my band director went to Bahia years back and learnt over there, and other leaders in the band have learnt from Mestre Memeu over there too so we play samba reggae Bloco Afro style grooves more than Rio style.

Repiques are like guitars: if you only play simple stuff yiu ca have it down by your crotch and look like a moron. If you play something more interesting (repi de bossa), it should be higher up like you have it in this video. Also important is that you adapt how you wear the instrument to your body. Someone obese like me will probably be more comfortable playing higher.

I have a couple of follow on questions…I see how having the surdo strapped over slightly to one side works when you’re playing with one beater and hand…but when playing dobra patterns with two beaters, unlike with a caixa worn to one side, you can’t (well, I can’t!) so much play using trad grip with the non dominant hand. So I play mine with a very good harness, match grip both hands, and have it slung really low so I don’t hunch my shoulders. I have a good pad attached to the drum, but I still find parading very hard going. Static, I can play all day. I feel I’m missing a trick somehow!! Will try this but it probably works better if just playing with one beater and hand?

I think this was my request!!! Wow so chuffed, thank you so much. Bucket list to come and play with you New York dudes. You’re such a great teacher. Thank you so much for all the generous teachings ❤

I jave a repinique de 10"....where do I get those nice sticks?

What kind of chocalo is that?

can you explain how to play the dish with a knife?

Hi Master, I am having difficulties with the high tempo of "batria furiosa" or "esquenta bateria" of Mangueira or Stacio.... What exercise do you have to achieve high tempo? Maybe a combination of carreteio 2x1 and 1x1....I don't think you will be able to go with the very high tempo with a carreteio 3x1 What do you think? Did you ever try to play along the very fast batucadas ("furiosas")?

Eu tenho o de estudo.

Dear Philip -- Thank you so much for this video, which is very basic, but has information I have never really received in 4 1/2 years of playing Brazilian music. I played for a little over 4 years (on average 1x per month) just “Over the Line” from me in Quebec. That band has suddenly gone defunct, and now I have found a 2nd band a couple months ago, also in Canada, but it requires a longer drive for me to get there. I’m loving it & I want to improve, but I’ve never really had the basics. Right now, I’ve been assigned to 2nd Surdo. At least I know a few ABCs now, after this video. . I’m very excited again! This will be a good summer, and I have family in Queens, so maybe you will eventually see me in person at some point. . You manner of explanation is very easy-going and able-to-be-grasped. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. . ♪♪♪ -John in Northern Vermont.

What caixa pattern are you doing? Thanks 🙏🏾

jako-tako 😀

Excellent video!
