The way you explain, so simplistic. Makes it easy to understand. Gracias papa

[@ronborunda9066]

It's good to see again Carnalito. It's been hit and miss with a new job. But I caught this one. Outstanding!

[@dennisbriggs4324]

Great exercise for Independence and easy to put beats with

[@BarbaricEricX]

Thank you Eric. Inspiring as always. Peace to you and your beautiful family.

[@GrootsieTheDog]

I have been using a variation of this - I call it the shifting two and shifting four. Same steady weak hand pattern but shift where you place/start your double stroke and four stroke with strong hand. It’s building on the independence quality of the exercise. And then reverse hand duties for balance.

Excellent as usual. Hello from France...

[@bisondu7612]

Hermoso ritmo de 6x8. Gracias hermano. Saludos combativos desde el norte de Morelos México.

[@ishapercussionist1808]

Thank you Eric ❤🙏

[@franciscotrillo8269]

Great stuff man, love it, thanks you much for that, bless you brother later.

[@phuphuism]

I would demonstrate the 6/8 bell pattern and play the pulse with the foot and clap the hands simultaneously before getting into any patterns. The student needs to internalize, know where the one is. For beginners knowing where to come in on the one is difficult with 6/8 as well as not drifting in time.

[@macfinster3]

Beautiful-a little like abakua

[@colinyoungscot]

Look at how pro your videos are looking. To think back to the early videos. Looking great man.

[@APercussionLife]

[@RayRay-qr1ej]

Thanks!!!

[@willymiranda5537]

Eric, thank u. Have taken about a 20 yr. hiatus to drumming/ in my late 60’s & with covid 19 & health issues I find myself home more than ever before / have a 20 piece PEARLDRUM SET that has been in storage / no room / always loved congas / timbales/ bongos. So I’ve been thinking of starting with bongos & working my way up to congas if my interest holds true. Anyway, thank you for ur vids / need to go buy some bongos so I can start practicing/ better late than never lol 😂 wats a good brand ( starting point). Thanks again Eric. WILLY CA. 🦅🏍⚒☠️⚡️🌎🇺🇸🥁😎

[@blugsr600]

I feel you brah, same boat. More dedicated than ever. With the best teacher ever.

[@LaVerdad65]

Did you end up getting bongos?

[@Dillmatic97]

Am I crazy for removing the head from my conga so I can practice my tumbao anywhere?

[@APercussionLife]

Not crazy at all!!!!

[@macfinster3]

Giovanni portable congas

[@hectorgonzales8079]

Máster teaches

[@pamelaoneill9722]

With all due respect the first exercise is not as easy and simple as you indicate in the video. I've played congas for decades in my own "style" but have decided to learn the correct manner in which to play them. The overhead camera is very helpful; however, if you could slow down as you introduce the exercise(s) it would be greatly appreciated especially before you speed up to the correct rhythm. I sincerely want to learn what you're teaching but am struggling as it's too fast. Appreciate all of your time and effort.

[@guillermovazquez7836]

Puro encendio chamaco gracias porque siempre lo había tocado incorrectamente

[@markborges3056]

Good drummer but he talks too much.

[@phuphuism]

Definitely way too much talking.

[@32phoenixx]

You guys must read books with pictures only.

[@markborges3056]

I grew out of those years son.
