This is the same way I practice and come up with beat patterns! Great video, bless up!

[@abinjohnny7395]

I knew the grid and taught my students to improvise according to that but i guess this is a more natural way of teaching and getting out different rhythmic ideas. Thank you 😁

[@blues61]

Nice! Thanks for this guidance. I'm a guitar player that's dabbling with hand drums. Funk guitar players use a similar technique to maintain a steady and consistent 16th note rhythm. Our strumming hand is constantly moving in a 16th note motion even if we aren't striking the strings. Makes for real tight, in the groove, rhythm chops.

👏👏👏👏best way to get interesting beats and timing in 4/4...also great when using odd time🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Sure - Anything you want. It's all good.

[@christinevivona8767]

Fantastic lesson - thank you!

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

You're welcome!

[@Tracks777]

amazing stuff

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Thank you

[@kristapsbungo]

Good stuff, but you also need to do the same excercise on ternary grid as well! Plus, when it comes to west african music, quite a few rhythms have unevenly spaced grid (swung).

Love the sound of those bongos, i have a cheap pair, just starting to learn but I've been unsure about tuning. I've tightened them heaps but I'm afraid of snapping the rods or stretching the skins so tight its breaks.

[@inidhancussions4662]

You cover so many percussion instruments in your marvelous channel. Could you please also do a video about washboard?

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

I'll keep it in mind. I'm not a washboard pro, but I'll see what I can do.

[@lukavog]

Great man, soon I become your patreon, great teachings from U tu us ;-)

[@user-jg5ro4jc3e]

Can one sit on the floor cross legged Tabla style and play Bongos effectively and efficiently?

[@mikayunusbergersahbaz9730]

Hi Kalani - first i want to say, thank you very much for your videoes, they are awesome to have as a guidens counselor for semi-pro percussionist like myself. I always consult your channel before going out to buy new sounds and instruments or when I am in doubt about some some basics of playing. So thank you! Now! A question. Could you be persuaded to make a video on heads for bongoes, especially about the Cuban-plastic solution, the fiber head, and different hides. I am e.g. playing in an orchestra playing Afro-pop, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-funk song, and I would love to have some bongoes that can be played with sticks - for soloing especially - but I am in doubt about what is the best solution and the differences between the different heads. Good vibes! Mika

[@WORLDDRUMCLUB]

Hi Mika - Thank you for the kind words. I am happy to do a Bongo Head video; however, I only have natural skin heads at the moment, so I would need to get more samples and options to show them. I would be OK talking about them, but I think people want to hear them, yes?

[@mikayunusbergersahbaz9730]

@@WORLDDRUMCLUB Yes, definitely!
