Basic Songo Beat & Variations

[@Michael-xw4er]

Good teacher. Clearly explained. Will be back for more!

[@seavisofheaven]

Awesome! You take this rhythm in so confident and natural way!

[@drumr72]

Took pro lessons from a dude in the Bay Area who was the considered the King Of Songo and he couldn't hold a candle to your way of teaching this tough groove. You earned a new sub today good man. Great feel and execution. Those drums sound great too. Looking forward to more shit!

[@dereksenestraro]

You sold me the drums, now you’re showing me how to play them? Nice

[@dereksenestraro]

You bought that kit? Are you enjoying it? I loved that kit….

[@NoNameForThisGuy]

@@dereksenestraro ahh not that kit, I just meant the Yamaha/pork pie kit I’m playing on. Bought it from a guy who used to work at a place 😁

[@EdwinRodriguez1975]

Great song! Thanks ! I will to practice that !

[@michaelnaso2239]

I've been playing like this for years! Thought I suckered at the drums.

[@fenrir9673]

Songo is hard for one reason. When I play worship music i use the kick pedal A LOT but in songo you have to time the kick one specific way which is TUN TUN. TUN TUN. TUN TUN. I’ve been having trouble whit that cause I can’t concentrate my foot on doing that all the way through so I can either play the snear and ride ether wey it supposed to or kick the right way which it’s the most important part of the songo. That kick will mark the time for everyone else.

[@kostraone]

Lol

[@TheVikingtropical]

Im pretty sure that if someone plays that "songo" with Van Van, Pupy or Maikel Blanco it will sucks . Stop teaching that "songo pattern".That is just the wrong interpretation of Songo from Europeans and americans drummers around the world.. If someone are interesting about to learn Songo, please do it from his creator. José Luis Quintana "Changuito".

[@andrespunks]

TheVikingtropical el singo tiene variaciones y no precisamente se va siempre sobre el mismo patrón.

[@shapshooter7769]

I checked out Changuito's Songo Movements video and I'm even more lost than this video lmao.

[@TheVikingtropical]

@@shapshooter7769 That only means cuban music is too much for your musical talent. Sorry

[@shapshooter7769]

@@TheVikingtropical It is since I am no Cuban. Changuito hasn't really Americanized his style. I will look for someone who has - Dave Weckl is probably the guy to look to.

You can play Latin rhythms but you can’t sound as a Latin playing Latin rhythms,
