[@DimitriBR]

excellent video! i'm a non-drummer songwriter and producer, and this was very helpful to better understand some drum patterns i've been editing to a new song. thanks and congrats, abraço do Brasil!

[@RhythmNotes]

Glad it was helpful! ... Thanks for sharing what you're up to.

[@DrBacak]

This should be one of the most shared videos among people trying to get into this style of playing and writing; thanks for sharing!

[@RhythmNotes]

Thanks Zack! You’re too kind.

[@Bradyn_Drums]

I really appreciate that you added sheet music to this I’ve been wanting to break into Afro Cuban drumming and this is a good start thank you

Very well put together explained and played. I'd like to see the same rhythms approached when playing Drums in conjunction with a percussionist which is usually the case. In this case drums will be complimentary and not play the same parts as conga. Here in many cases you have the parts a conga would play (your Bolero and Guaganco for example) adapted to a drumset. Thank you.

[@RhythmNotes]

Great suggestion! ... I've been wondering if more people would be interested in a video about playing drum set with a percussionist for these styles.

Do you have a book? I can buy It!

I'm finishing one this summer (should be ready by September). It's a drum set style guide with everything I've put on my channel and a lot more. ... I have this PDF on Latin Drum Beats (with video) rhythmnotes.gumroad.com/l/latindrumbeats

Where did you get the drumless track at the beginning of the video?

[@RhythmNotes]

Epidemic sound. The link is in the description.

[@ryancox5097]

@@RhythmNotes Ah, okay. I see it. Thanks for that, and for the excellent video.

[@lizleart]

the groves are cool but they're almost unreadable due to how they were notated, offbeat quarter notes on drums should almost always just be eithnotes, followed by eighth rests, in addition, the beaming is very odd

[@RhythmNotes]

I understand what you mean, and I made this notation decision because the parts are to be interpreted with a degree of independence. I will take your concern into strong consideration for future tutorials.

Forget this, back to Meshuggah..
