Thanks to your videos Eric, I have made my 1 hour exercise before jamming to the music that I like.

Cool! My playing just improved! Thanks for the lesson.

Another great exercise Eric, thanks for another very useful and practical post. The open slap at 5 and moving to other drums is something i have not tried yet.I will incorporate it into my practice as from tomorrow. Cheers!

[@MiskimVeniceJohnson]

Thank you! I will practice the 5 stroke roll daily. Please keep all the rudiments coming. What is the order of leaning that rudiments? I would like to start with them in a order if there is such a thing. How many rudiments are there for hand drummers? only

[@APercussionLife]

Thank Miskim! I'll try to teach them all as much as I can. And there is a specific order... Mostly done with singles. I have a couple of videos I did a few months back that you can look at that address some of the first ones.

[@MiskimVeniceJohnson]

Nice vídeo!! I have a question?? Wich skin head do you recommend the remo those acrilic o a natural head for congas?? Wich help more to develop the sound and the strength on hand?

[@APercussionLife]

I personally use "Rawhide" heads... to me... it forces you to develop your tones and it obviously hurts more so your pain tolerance gets strengthen as well... now I do love the Remo Fiberskyn heads.. (if I had to play on synthetic), but really to each their own... I think you can develop a great sound using synthetic heads.. it all goes down to practice.

[@malavelectric]

Saludos, que tamaño son las congas que usa en el video. Muy bueno Gracias.

[@APercussionLife]

11.75" conga y 12.5" Tumba. Gracias

[@Nick-ui9dr]

How about doing 5 stroke roll with single hand but in (2+3) groove style... they should sound like 2+3 groove not just 5 straight strokes no matter how fast or subtle. I no drummer ...got no drums but can do it on table.😃

[@karentemecula]

Hi What is your best guess on the bpm?

[@davidecorazza7856]

You’ve become my go-to for conga stuff on the tube! One day I’d love to play drums with you 🙏

[@jamesclark6142]

THANKS!!!!!!!

[@1marcusroman]

My brotha, where are you based out of? I would love to get up and jam. If you happen to be in the NYC area, let me know - would definitely love to get together and mix it up,

[@APercussionLife]

Marcus Roman I live in the DC area! Maaaan I need to make a trip to NYC for like a good week! Lol I’ve been slacking recently.

[@1marcusroman]

No problem, gives me time to get back to the woodshed and practice. Watching your videos has inspired me to pick up those bad boys again. When you're ready, we'll exchange contact info. Many blessings to you and yours, keep bangin!

[@APercussionLife]
