[@jeyasinghamm8812]

The way you broke the rhythm into parts, made it so easy to learn. Believe me, I learned it in just one hour. And saying that it looks more complicated than it really is will give learners confidence. Thank you so much. Please do a lesson on afro-cuban.

[@chrisbrien]

Hi, thanks for watching.... I’m glad my break down of the “Mozambique” was of help and YES, it gives ALL students great confidence. Just last week I taught a 4 year old student how to play the “Mozambique”. Which Afro-Cuban Rhythm would you like me to upload? As I do take requests. Let me know and I will do my best. All the best..... Chris Brien..

That's great Chris. I have watched several videos to learn this beat and couldn't get it until you explained it in sections, which helped me to get it right- so I wrote it down and followed it. R L RR - L R L - R R L - R R L - R (R+L). Genius! Thanks loads!

More cow bell! Just kidding. Nice job. I'm going to have to put my cow bell back on my Mapex kit and give it a try.

[@davidb.8948]

Cowbell re-installed, and staying there!

[@chrisbrien]

Awesome news !!! “We All Need MORE COWBELL”.... Thanks for watching David B. ..... Chris Brien..

[@davidb.8948]

Got the beat down with left hand on snare, tough part is trying to move the left hand to the toms.

[@kandilula]

just wondering, whats that wall behind you made out of?

[@pasqualemichini6131]

👍😁

[@bradsvoboda9391]

Hey Great Mozambique Groove you have! Question; So can create that cowbell sound have...What size cowbell do you recommend and on a budget, what brand? I’ve seen online Stagg brand looks affordable...would a Stagg work if the correct size? Thanks, Brad

[@chrisbrien]

Hi Brad Svoboda, thanks for watching and for your kind comment. The cowbell I am using is an L.P. Mambo Cowbell of which is about 9 inches in length..And I’m using the “Steve Gadd L.P. Cowbell clamp” of which is attached to the bass drum.... Regarding a less expensive brand, there are many BUT make sure that which ever cowbell you get that it has a strong attachment clamp (most of which are a “eye and socket” design) otherwise your cowbell will keep coming loose from the cowbell holder and it will drive you crazy... Happy drumming and keep “Corona Virus Safe”.... Chris B. :)

[@bradsvoboda9391]

Thank you Chris for your reply and helpful advice! And for your great drum lesson videos! I appreciate the fellow drummers who subscribe to your website as well. So appreciate all you fellow drummer’s encouragement as well! Brad

[@chrisbrien]

@@bradsvoboda9391 thanks mate, you’re more than welcome :). . If you have any more questions please ask as we are all in this together..... Chris B.

[@neworleansbeats]

Two doubles after the single on the right hand and there's a pickup note that you're not even talking about.... Also hands together is a bad idea because that pickup note is really important .
