Thanks Eric! I have come back to this video a couple of times now. I appreciate your discernment and the time you take to really make sure it is done right. Inspiring. Very best to you and your family. Cheers!

[@mikejgebhart145]

Wow the 57s on the conga get a good mix of detail and also old school sound, fantastic!

[@APercussionLife]

Right!!!! That’s what I was trying to go for!!!

[@mikejgebhart145]

@@APercussionLife I have a sm57 and gonbops Mariano conga and this is inspiring me to really dig in to recording it and get a great sound combination from it

[@ritmprobodypercussion]

You are amazing man! Remember that! I've got so much inspiration from your videos. And now i know that 57 is the best for congas)

[@spyderpaul314]

Very cool to see you going through the recording process

[@AimanBamboo]

my god man...this congas are just incredible...beautifull sound! and you playing is also amazing! cool

[@paullarsen1072]

[@rubenv.4228]

[@dodo13500]

Nice! Would like to see settings.....Eq and all that.

[@caryrodriguez7040]

The SM57 is more focused than the AKG. Good call on the change. Do you have a tuning video?

You just got to love it y esto estuvo puro enscendio. Love this type of video @Ericperez. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[@marlonaugustoloravasquez902]

Donde estudió percusión Bro, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos ya que la mayoría de músicos greñas no lo hacen por ésta plataforma..

[@AncientSounds]

Great job! Thank you. Do you have a video, how you edit you recorded sound in your daw? Would be great!

[@kosmonparran4495]

have you ever mic'ed congas from the top and bottom to get more bass? Im wondering if it might create a more dynamic sound combining top & bottom?

[@MrKayruiz]

WEPA! I'm telling you dude... You are reading my mind!!!! I got mics on my Amazon cart RIGHT NOW!!! lol I've been debating what to get for months.

[@MaTTheWish]

Clean sound!

[@federicofigueroa538]

que rico suena, es tan interesante toda la parte de grabación. Antes el músico no estaba obligado a saber de técnicas de grabación pues hacerlo en casa era carísimo, solo algunos podían, pero todo ha cambiado tanto y la pandemia nos ha separado todavía más, creo que hoy en día si es muy necesario saber de grabación y hacer la inversión en equipo que se deba hacer. es tan fácil trabajar con músicos, productores y clientes de todo el mundo estos días...

[@APercussionLife]

Man eso es cierto!!!

[@flavanthensome]

I think it would be a good idea for you to measure out the space between the mics to drum and side mics to main drum. To make sure the are all the same(or as close as possible), to avoid any possible phase cancellation. And maybe an equalateral triangle for the bongos. Like drum overheads to the snare.

[@flextaps3352]

Wow thanks for sharing man, you're the best!

[@m.a.cm.a.c9308]

Great job, thanks for sharing!

[@nellmusic1]

Great recording session!!! Love it!!! I loved the sound of the second cowbell you recorded it!

Hola hermano felicidades como siempre muy buena la enseñanzas que compartes ! Que clase de ear monitor estás usando ? Abrazos

[@APercussionLife]

[@jesusrios1272]

Tsunami de ideas en el calentamiento, genial!

[@ramonkey2939]

Nice sound good idea to switch that mic setup

[@A_Auad]

Excelente vídeo! Os bongôs falaram tudo!!!!!!

[@jaimesagastibeltza8002]

Thanks Erik, one question. The bongos doesnt sound dry, I hear some short reverb in hight frequencies. Is that added after recording or is an effect form room acoustics? Thanks

[@solomongrundy6806]

Hola Eric! Busqué otro video como este donde explicas tu set up cuando estas tocando afuera pero no lo encontré. Podrías hacer uno o poner el enlace de alguno que tengas? Quisiera saber que mixer usas y que tipo de speakers y su connección!

[@solomongrundy6806]

Found a video of you playing outdoors. Posted the question there!

[@oshitomaha]

Dang bro... hope you got good money for this💀💀. The dedication separates you from the rest man. Keep it up!

[@jhowardpercussion]

This is such a great video!! I see that you have something under your congas. Are those restaurant serving trays or something specific for congas to project sound? Are these better than seated conga stands?

[@vern7100]

very nice bud.....good job the persecution, beautiful sound indeed, thank you.

[@jaamabay3830]

Hey dude, can you please help me? What can a percussionist do when he gets tendonitis?? You probably had it before, so what did you do? Stop playing for a week or two? Oh god, its so bad staring at your instruments, not being able to play..

[@hifimidi]

Wear a hand brace when you sleep to reduce mobility, rest your hands for a week or two.

[@pithaustgen3954]

Nice Video! I don't now what's the difference between the few types of bongo heads, can anyone give me an advice

[@APercussionLife]

Like the type of skin? Or thickness?

[@pithaustgen3954]

[@lmckinney4303]

Great Great job!

[@josecorrea1504]

That was great!!!!

[@johncuscaden2021]

Hey Eric, some guys have used tapestries recording acoustic guitars. That might be more mess, but what do you think about using those?

[@borikero1]

SM57 are the best...I don't mess around with anything else for drums.

[@grupolostordillos977]

Que tal saludos todos tus videos están super pero un favorzote haber si se puede deverias hacer todos tus videos también en español gracias cuídese mucho 👍

[@jazzrengue]

Yeaup, it ain’t easy putting these videos together.

[@greghoward6000]

Are you still using your Behringer UMC404HD and is it a 4-channel or 8? I'm thinking about buying an interface and this one seems to be pretty good. Keep doing what you're doing...it makes a genuine difference to those of us trying to be somewhat decent :)

[@alejandromendez55]

Que tipo de speakers usas

[@ihortsaruk7335]

Shure 57 does the job well

[@nicoisbeta]

that sound is DRY, damn

[@calvinriggs6861]

There is a song called ‘teach me how to dougie’ with an iconic drum beat.(sounds like bongos). Please do a tutorial on it.

[@vtngonz6109]

Hoolaaaa Eric, me imagino staras preparando algo bueno no...? Xke stas tardando muxo Ehh...!!! 😜😜 Te das cuenta,ya no te perdonamos una...!!!🤪🤪 Perdon es broma, imagino has de star ocupado en alguno de tus proyectos...🤐🤐🤐🤐
