How To Learn 6/8 Feel on Congas

IT'S TUTORIAL THURSDAY!!!
Sooo today we're talking about how to learn and develop a 6/8 feel on Congas through a simple exercise. This exercise references a "Bembe" pattern or feel, but its not the actual pattern itself although sounds similar. This is meant as an exercise for beginners trying to understand "6/8" feel.
Example of some songs to Listen to:
Mongo Santamaria's Afro Blue- • Mongo Santamaria "Afro...
Francisco Aguabella- Yemaya- • Yemaya - Francisco Agu...
Ilu Aye- • In the Studio with Ilu...

Hey Maestro!! U will be surprised to know that I have already been doing this Exercise since long!! Even I am surprised to realise that!! This is may be due to most of the Indian Music is based on 6/8 feel!! So this Exercise automatically came from within!! Thank U for showing it to the Community!! Thank U E. "Proffessor" Perez!!

Hi nice work

[@anonagain]

Interesting - Edgardo Cambon uploaded a video on Rumba Columbia (6/8) this very day. Coincidence? I think not. More like synchronicity (great conga players think alike). ;) Thanks Eric - as usual very helpful!

[@APercussionLife]

That’s crazy!!!! Love it!!!

[@proberaum7015]

Great! Abakaua, Njongo, Bembé, Rumba Columbia, Arará, Congo Cyclo and so on. It would be great, if you can present these styles and some Batá rhythms. See above. Greetings from Berlin.

[@JohnFKelly-jx2tk]

I would also be interested in bata rhythms on congas

Que bien! seis por ocho es siempre mi punto débil, no lo practico mucho y lo único que le hago es el tumbao ese recortado, necesito poder hacer más, y este video me quedó de perlas! encendío! 🔥

[@APercussionLife]

Wooooo Tremendo!

[@robertdowler8105]

6/8 is an important time.

[@MichaelSouhoka]

How about tutorials of Shuffle Grooves next time? When I watched the late Jeff Porcaro's instructional drumming video, he explains many things about shuffles, including half-time, double-time, double half-time, etc etc, and I think tutorial about shuffles are also essential to learn how do we play them on congas and bongos.

[@APercussionLife]

Great suggestion!!! Thank you!

[@robertryder1097]

Terrific lesson! I wonder if you have any suggestions for specific songs that feature congas with 6/8 time. Keep up the great work!!! 👍

[@APercussionLife]

Thanks! I linked a few in the description you can check out.

[@robertryder1097]

THANK YOU! 🙏

[@stalynandresnunez8888]

Más videos en español crack eres bueno enseñando 💪🏻🤟🏻🥁

[@Swagman1957]

Please Eric, could you give more examples for 6/8 patterns mate? 😇 Forever Greatful 😇

[@Swagman1957]

Just a suggestion, accompanying music in conjunction with your tutorial- (just a small section), would be so helpful. Just an idea which would be helpful to strugglers.

[@APercussionLife]

@@Swagman1957 Thanks! Still trying to figure out without getting Copywritten.... getting tracks soon to be able to do that.

The 6/8 is like the child of the triplet. And the 4/4 is the child of the 6/8.
