Bro, the audio/lighting on your show now is top-flight. Everything looks and sounds so warm and crisp. Pro, all the way.

[@Matt_bechillin]

I’m late to finding you, but I’ve learned more in the last month from digging through your videos than I have ever learned about congas. I seriously appreciate the long term commitment to archived tutorials you have catered here ❤

[@georgemeeksjr9926]

[@johnbillingsley8581]

Funny how some rhythms just click and are so easy to learn. This was one of them. And so much fun. Thanks

[@songodrumming1]

This is ridiculously awesome 👌🏾. Thank you for sharing your precious talents and knowledge with us 😊

[@felipehernandez511]

Eric, My problem is a mental sound issue in my head !! If my drums don’t sound the same has yours. Which of course they will never and I know this. Not only does it throw me off it makes it harder for me to learn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have to stay FOCUS , FOCUS and FOCUS …. Lol

[@MrPDTaylor]

I have the same issues with bongos!

[@tmmusic2925]

[@morgnuts]

Dude you are freakin amazing! Much aroha from Aotearoa New Zealand. Love the way you break it down and explain. I still can't even get a decent slap, but I keep watching your vids and practicing. AND you've got great hair! #lucky

[@joeykarateka]

I ❤ it. Many play chacha almost the same way they play Son Montuno. This pattern is great. Thanks

[@marktaz1]

Tutorial Thursday! Welcome back, Eric!

[@Josiah-X]

Love those congas man. They look authentic. Gotta get a pair of those.👌🏿👍🏿😎🌴🌙 Once I finally get some, I’ll be studying from your videos.

[@Old_Man_Medina_Gaming]

Sounded great 🔥🔥

[@daves485]

This is a hard one for me…..on the third combination, muscle memory wants to do tumbao, and I haven’t learned any folkloric rhythms yet that I used my left hand for a bass/ slap together so I’m kinda clumsy on that combo, but it’s slowly getting better. I really like the way it sounds when it all comes together. Thank you!

[@starjaguar]

Me encanta!

[@tanmoybanerjee4922]

What's up Maestro?? This reminded Me of The Richie Flores Shuffle Tutorial!! Remember??

[@totoroutes5389]

For your third moperc ashwood bongos, Yellow color.

[@luisdelorbe6838]

These variations are incredibly good!... Thanks for this, Eric. Do you think it is possible to have them on a piece of a song, please?... I'd like just to see them played on a real song !... Thanks, bro... very good job!!

[@rutod407]

Like a blend of cha cha cha y Pilon

[@robertoragnetti6655]

Ciao Eric trovi pace con la scelta delle congas ?? Ormai le hai provate tutte. I TUOI VIDEO SONO SUPER!!

[@deejaypat1]

Hello Eric ! You bought new congas ? How many congas do you own ? We can see the black ones behind you . Is there a difference ?

[@ricardosgromo4435]

Eric por favor hacelo en español Puede ser que tenga ciertas similitudes con la marcha de la salsa o me equivoco??? Gracias te sigo desde Argentina Un abrazo

[@alexisortegamusic]

Saludos. La marcha de la Salsa (guaracha) es parecida a la del Cha Cha Cha ; pero no es igual Dios les bendiga

Hola Eric, te consulto algo que no tiene nada que ver con la musica...la pulsera que tenes en la muñeca derecha, es de la del orgullo gay???

[@APercussionLife]

No. Dice “WWJD” Que significa “What Would Jesus Do” o en Español “Que Hiciera Jesus”

[@sebastianavalos1137]
