What can I say, but thanks Drumeo for having me out! Definitely had a lot of fun recording this for you all and just wanted to mention that all these grooves are AFRO CUBAN grooves. Samba, Partido Alto, Afoxe, etc. Are Brazilian rhythms and not part of Afro Cuban genre so that’s why they are not mentioned here. Either way hope you guys dug it and if you get a chance swing over to my KZbin channel to continue the conversation....cheers!

One of my biggest pieces of advice for all musicians (drummers especially) is to learn world music. Even if you don't think you'll ever perform those styles explicitly, learning them will help teach you groove, time, and independence, and it will give you ideas that you can carry over into other styles of music. Thanks for this great primer on some of the more common Latin and Afro-Cuban styles!

I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity to take lessons from him in my youth. Even as a college kid this guy was on another level, great to see him find success in the industry. Well deserved!

Cumbia, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Reggaeton are the most popular latin rhythms nowadays. A video of those would be quite useful for the non initiated.
@gabrielnieves99742 жыл бұрын
Yeah but most of those genres don't actually use the drums for their percussion. Salsa, Merengue and Bachata use afro Caribbean drum instruments like the bongos, congas, and timbales which is the most drummer like instrument, but it's not exactly the same thing. Reggaeton is almost purely digital and made by producers in a studio so it doesn't really use live drums either although you could play the reggaeton pattern on a drum set. I'm not too familiar with Cumbia, but I imagine they use similar instruments for percussion that they use in salsa, merengue and bachata. I could be completely wrong tho so feel free to correct me.
