Not only is the playing and feel on the money- the explanation is great and I like the music notation on the left... this guy is world class! I have played Matanzas style for a while and loving it- the drum set parts are crazy difficult!

Thank you very much and also for promoting my video's! And Michael Spiro is also one of my great examples!

[@RomancesyBoleros]

Excellent tutorial thanks again!

Well, a friend made this new logo for me. I record my video's in Logic (audio) and the editing part I do in Final Cut. Actually, I started giving these lessons because I wanted to learn the video software.... I'm very glad that people are enjoying the video's. Thanks!!

yeah, I couldn't agree more with the reviews. you are a great teacher and you know your field. It's really nice to find these jewels of videos as you explain complicated things very well. I have a lot of your videos on "favorites" and I review them once in a while. Reminds me of another great teacher - Michael Spiro. Thanks again and keep the vids coming!! Stay inspired!!!

Great Lesson, Michael! As always you're great, thanks!

I studied with Munuquitos about 25 years ago in Cuba and it always felt like the rumba clave had a little swing to it. I think what Spiro calls the fix. It was very confusing but now since I play samba I understand better.

Thank you very much for your compliments! I'm not really close to NY, I live in Holland. Perhaps one day I'll come to NY!!

Kudos Maestro, kudos.! Thank you for sharing your genius, passion and greatness with all of us. Without doubt you are one of the most knowledgeable Masters of Latin Percussion on youtube, not to mention- one of the best teachers.! Was wondering if you were located in or near NYC. If so, are you up for a few Privet lessons.?

Great video, right on time! Do you have a new logo design and did you create it? Anyway, very nice logo! Also, how do you make your videos, software, editing, etc? The multiple screens with audio in sync is very impressive! Many thanks.

Definitely interested in how you learned the Abakua rhythms. not many people know about that.

[@Bochabossio]
