Thanx bro

[@federicofigueroa538]

Awesome, I'm a mess trying to do this one, that means it's exactly what I need to practice, I think it'll get a little bit more than 10 minutes :) Thanks!

[@APercussionLife]

Yessss!!! That's kind of the point... you'll end up passing the 10min mark haha

Nice breakdown of a tumbao I remember seeing in an old Geo video describing the evolution of the tumbao. Having been introduced to these beautiful rhythms as a salsa dancer, I see a lot of truth in your analogy to dancing. Patato, after all, started as a dancer. It's just similar patterns with your hands instead of your feet. BTW, I love the shot of the pinkies starting at 6:07 or so! I can tell you're working into the wee hours. So appreciate your efforts. I find myself looking forward to all your vids and so hope you don't burn out. Nobody out there puts as much love and effort into what you do. A suggestion: how about a quick video showing how you integrate the metronome into your conga practice? I'm curious to see how how you've done that.

[@APercussionLife]

Great suggestion... I've been getting a lot of requests for the metronome.. So i'll get to working on how to make it work for y'all. Thank you!!!

Thanks brother! And Amen to "By his grace, For His glory"! I play 1 conga at my church in DC a couple of Sundays a month. I often slide my tumbao, songo, and variations over a beat so the slap is on 3. The music director likes the slap on the down beat. I need help with 3/4 gospel w 1 (preferred) or 2 congas. If that fits your flow then your help whenever it works would be appreciated! Grace & Peace!

[@APercussionLife]

Awesome suggestions! will work on something like that!

[@henrickrube8518]

6,8 on one conga then two so on my brother (suggestion) stay on it papa you mad cool GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY... POLLO

[@omarrobles1108]

First off thank you so much for all your hard work an passion that u put into your videos..very much appreciated. My question is when practicing on just one drum for all my tones and basic rhythms do i use the conga or the tumbao ?

[@APercussionLife]

Omar Robles thank you!!!! I would practice that on a Conga... if you want to challenge yourself even more then try it on a Tumba... the Tumba is a bit harder to get basic tones out but it’s definitely worth practicing it when trying to challenge oneself

[@omarrobles1108]
