How To Do The Kachiro Thompson Tumbao

Here's a break down of one my Favorite Conguero's Tumbaos... the great William "Kachiro" Thompson...
I truly admire this guys playing and work ethic. He's a true musician that gets the job done with flare and finesse.

Looks like those Kachiro Meinls have become your favorite. They do sound good.

Eric Perez my friend, I totally enjoyed adding my flava to this before I got on KZbin to subscribe to your channel thanks for this for truly it is an amazing pattern!!! Also I have decided to sell my LP Aspire congas to someone else who will enjoy them for my playing is professional beyond the Aspire line of congas plus I hate tuning those Aspire congas the lugs are too short & have to use my wrench that came with my LP Giovanni galaxy congas to tune my Aspire congas with the bongo side yeah it works better than the Aspire tuning wrench that hurts my hands but still tuning is easier on my LP giovanni galaxy congas with the wider tuning lugs where you won't slip while tuning! Yeah I have sliped many many times while struggling tuning those Aspire congas & I am burned out with it ugh ugh ugh it just is wearing so I just keep them tuned so I don't have to struggle tuning but always when tempatures change back to the pest of tuning those Aspire congas again! Yes they do sound good with my LP Giovanni galaxy congas but I just can't put up with the pain of trying to keep them pitched to blend in with my LP Giovanni galaxy congas no more! I have decided to go along with my LP Giovanni galaxy requinto,quinto & conga will be the set of the meinl marathon exsclusive series quinto,conga & tumba just feel that these would be a way better choice for me! I have heard those congas on KZbin & blown away with the sound of the meinl marathon exsclusive series congas & they will sound great along with my LP Giovanni galaxy congas so what do you think bad? I personally love the sound of them just wow!!! The meinl marathon exsclusive series congas are more affordable for my budget when I can get them at the right time & hopefully not making a bad choice!!!! Would appreciate knowing what you think of my decision!

Hi Eric... thanks for the video and break down, out of interest, where's the clave fit with this tumbao?

[@MichaelSouhoka]

I hope you will discuss about King Errison's Martillo, popularly in Apache by Incredible Bongo Band, which had been sampled over and over again by many hip-hop and dance music.

[@axelberrios5951]

Tremendo trabajo Eric " keep it up bro" , fyi kachiros dad is Danny Thompson,conguero por muchos años de Bobby Valentín

[@Jayvacano]

Those drums look and sound phenomenal, of course it's all about the player, but they're nice.

[@raykonga4924]

The best conga player that was very solid in the tumbao with the best sound , was JIMMY MORALES 🎶 RIP 🙏

[@nicolascastrovargas8620]
