A lot of negative comments. He is on a top notch channel, giving a tutorial for a reason. They are good tips to get started and to have in your arsenal of drumming. Of course their are more advanced drummers and ones that has this so called "feeling" some people seem to have. So be proactive and go listen to THEM, instead of bitching about it. My Chinese food the other night wasn't really from China. Happy drumming.

[@jnbworships]

now we just need this in description lol

[@Aust1nCh0ate]

My jazz band director taught me Exercise 4 using words. "I've got rhythm like Tito Puente." I find it such a catchy pattern with and without words.

[@raitoxote]

Cascada means Waterfall in Spanish, what he is trying to say is Cáscara which actually means shell :D

[@foamysqueak11]

I'm glad I watched this video because ironic enough I've been forced to learn Oye Como Va, and we're only a 3 piece band (drum, bass, guitar) so I'm having to play the part of the drums, timbales, cowbells, and congas, AND sing. This video gave me a better understanding of this genre because I'm mainly a rock drummer. You guys make some awesome videos thanks!

[@barrybazza1287]

OMG A whole new dimension,understanding and not to mention druming interpretation of what merengue is all about! Would love to see the dancing version of it!

[@marioellesmusic]

With all respect friends " Drumeo " This is not Latin music. Most patterns are misled . Latin music is not only technique drumsticks. It is to know the tradition they come from the rhythmic expressions and especially the simplicity and natural feel . A humble opinion of student Colombian percussion . Thank You.

[@GorcStew]

just shutup

[@beefaroni9038]

GorcStew I think he knows what he's talking about he has 4 names 😂

[@felixmartinmusic]

i think this video is amazing, is not misled at all

[@Stickmasterrr]

I agree with Mario Agustin and I am also kind of sad about the ignorance and the immaturity in you guys' attitudes.

[@ThatJanko]

True, this doesn't sound good at all

[@610lpn2rn]

Mike is a great instructor, I now have his Latin Drumming System and his Drumming System (complete, comprehensive system); you don't usually find this kind of quality instruction in the many drum DVD's available in the marketplace. Thanks for your work Mike!!

[@DavidAliaga]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to learn Latin lately and I'm excited to see what lesson you guys give! -David

[@scottmoyer1357]

Playing the Cascara(RH) with the 3:2 Clave(LH) can eassily be played with the opposite hands when you are aware of the rudiments involved and the overall sticking being performed. I too have been playing this same pattern for many many decades only with the Cascara played by the RHand. However, It became instantly playable with the LH lead on the Cascara simply because I learned the essential "sticking" and actual rudiments that comprise the pattern. I have also been teaching this pattern for decades and have transcribed it for my students so it is locked into my mind as per it's sticking.sequence.

[@arnoldogomez4002]

THE second beat of the 3 part of the clave is on the 2and , and is called the 'Bombo' note . In Afro Cuban Music there is Rumba Clave and Son Clave . They can Both be 3/2 or 2/3 .depending on the arragements or where you start in the tune . it works over 2 bars of four beats.

[@morgantaylormoore9385]

I really dont understand all of the negative comments. First and for most Mike Micchalkow is a great drum instructor.Is his Latin rhythms perfect ? Probable not." He's not Latino" Latin music is not only very beautiful,but very complex as well. If you are of Latin origin you all ready know this. The music is your heritage your heart and soul, it lives in you. But for us white north American guys we have to learn to feel it and hear it the same as you and I am not sure we can because its not part of our culture and history.But this doesn't mean we cant try. America is a melting pot of people and culture who have all brought their music with them and this music has all gone into the pot of gumbo and come out to be what ever we want it to be as musicians. no matter how imperfect or non-traditional it is good That is the true beauty of music and why I play the drums. I play New Orleans style music, most of my rhythms are based on the Clave,but you wouldn't recognize my music as Afro/Cuban " its not" its only based on the skeleton of the Clave,once again the melting pot effect the "Gumbo". If you want note for note purity then find a Latin teacher who teaches this. Dont look at a white man from North America and expect to hear a authentic traditional representation of a samba, meringue, soca rhythm. It's not likley to happen No More than you could probably play a second line beat and make me feel it.

[@Milner871]

you guys are great teachers :) professional and fun, pretty hard to get the balance right but I think you managed that

[@luiszuluaga6575]

You make an off the cuff remark about playing the cha-cha and that you ALMOST learned to dance in that hour. The irony of that statement is that I believe the best drummers inherently are dancing through their rhythmic applications. This was a great stripped down lesson demonstrating an otherwise very though to learn style.

[@25SuperAndroid]

Awesome! I really liked how you nailed step by step on this lesson...I personally play cumbias/tropical and I would love to see how you explain it and show it... PS. Nice work and keep it up! Best drum lesson out!

[@drumdude91123]

I'm always so nervous for the players messing up during the video and needing to retake then video but the video is already madee! mind blown.

[@ruwanemonts2091]

Why did'nt they ask Horacio '' El negro'' Hernandez, for some real latin grooves.. ??

[@InsomniakDrums]

This is legitimate stuff dude. They don't wanna teach someone insane beats for an "essentials" lesson.

[@ezequielgutietrez2349]

That my friend is a really good question

[@_raulvillafuerte]

For a good essential beats, Bobby Sanabria makes good examples on the LP Channel.

[@juanroldan4379]

I am Latino. I was born in Puerto Rico. I also hold a Bachelors degree in percussion. Based in knowledge and experience I can surely say that this isn't the way we play our music. There are some elements of the lesson that are useful and can be implemented in some circumstances. But our music depends also on knowing our culture, history and the expressions inherent to the style. I usually don't have many objections with Drumeo but in this particular case have a Latino Drummer/Percussionist re-do this lesson please.

[@ShartimusPrime]

I am half Nicaraguense and half white (born in San Francisco) with a Cuban grandfather, and have been playing drums almost 20 years. After seeing numerous salsa bands play live here in San Francisco, I have to agree with what Juan is saying. A lot of the drummers don't even have more than a kick, snare, hats, and crash. Drum set playing in true salsa band situations is usually minimal because there's so much going on with the timbales and congas and other percussion. Saying that, I think this stuff would work for an American style aka hella white-washed version of this music, ie Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band.

[@allthatgroove89]

hey,I'm from PR too,I was thinking the same thing

[@juanroldan4379]

I'm glad you guys agree with me. I would like to reiterate that my comment isn't racial but cultural. Also it isn't a personal attack to Drumeo. Just like our friend here Shartimus stated, this would be a white american re-interpretation of our cultural rhythms. Anyway, I started my own KZbin channel were I teach drums and percussion. If you guys would like to take a look, my videos are there. I try to teach from the very beginning as if I was teaching new students. So no flashy solos and drum covers yet. More like learning the playing technique and most important, how to read music. I do the videos at home with the equipment I have. I would appreciate your comments. Also I'm not selling or advertising anything. I'm partially retired so I like doing this for my personal satisfaction.

[@gamadrums2527]

I am Puerto Rican as well, I agree with you.This lesson is more Dave Weckl style and not very latino. This lesson, like you said, should be done again with more cultural flavor. I do also have a lot of music training especially in drums and percussion from UPR, and from the Professor Pedro Castro (Berklee Graduated, Drums and Percussion). Need to have a tambora next to the drums set. Just my opinion.

[@juanroldan4379]

O wow! I remember those days playing merengue with a tambora next to my drums sitting on a chair. Thanks for the trip into memory lane. I'm semi-retired now. I used to teach at the local community college. I do have a you KZbin channel (more like struggle with it) in which I teach as if I was teaching new students. I'm not having much success with it. I would appreciate some input. I don't sell anything there. Everything is for my personal satisfaction.

[@MissLionRose]

It's about making people dance. Amen!

[@kingtosinthe3rd766]

Really good drum beats Mike

[@oscarbaezsoria1650]

Mike great lessson. im from Puerto Rico and the rythm you call bolero is the classical one defined by Ravel's Bolero, think of Maurice Ravel orchestral piece. When you talk to a latin guy about what a bolero is they rythm that comes to mind is completely different, think more of a latin "ballad" like music Rafael Hernandez, Vicentico Valdez, Los Panchos, Bobby Capo, etc among others. Whats your opinion on this man. Great lesson as always.

[@amosioan]

Dave, thank you so much for this shows. There won't be any other that would do a better job :D

[@1976oswald]

I like that samba sound, also the jazz jam at the end

[@carlosalfonso9370]

Harrison Myers Yeah but the Soca does have a jazzy sound

[@carlosalfonso9370]

but dude, it sounded like jazz

[@carlosalfonso9370]

latin jazz

[@carlosalfonso9370]

dam, your pretty smart

[@carlosalfonso9370]

teach me

[@URAZKIVANER]

The guy himself did not even realize that he was playing rhumba clave when he tried to combine with the cascara . And when the other guy asked to clarify if there was a mix-up he confidently lied and said it was son clave and he showed the correct one on his knee but when he tried to play on the kit he couldn't play the son clave and cascara again 🤣 He has realized that and got embarrassed and totally changed the subject immediately . You guys needed to have better teachers at the beginning but somehow your channel grew anyways now you can afford better guys 🤣

[@JarodGallantOfficial]

Those toms sound amazing.

[@juannota3494]

si van a invitar a un baterista a enseñar ritmos latinos que sea uno latino, mejor hubieran invitado a Horacio "el negro" Hernandez

[@thegamesquare5743]

Great drumming Mike, love the intro Latin drumming track. And always the toms sound great!!

[@DrJake1004]

guys i have a great idea, for the people of latin america you should put people who talk in spanish to teach in this free drum lessons, what do you think??

[@Autofir1]

It's very nice to like the video before you see it all.

[@jaibandroide]

man are there any more essentials for other genres? this is awesome!

[@KrwiomoczBogurodzicy]

01:05:28 [28:06] MERENGUE [30:13] • slow tempo

[@TheJLJuke]

Could u guys do a lesson centered on the bass drum? heel toe, double kick, and interpreting it in music

[@fuzzylogiceire]

Mike does a decent job but it's hard to beat Zack Albettas latin drumming lesson on youtube as an all round guide. I'm surprised Drumeo didn't get Chuck Silverman (RIP) to do this while he was still alive. As he worked with Drumeo and was an expert in this style of music, or styles rather.

[@jeromyorestano1336]

Great drum instructor , well explained. Glad I watched this video.

[@guillermoperezgerman]

If THAT is merengue, I'm Paris Hilton. Nice try. Props for the effort and interest. Besides what is "Latin"?... there's afrocaribbean... which has so many rythms... over 30 or 40 proper complete syncopated rythmic styles. "Latin" goes from mexico to Argentina and eveuthing in between... which would be like calling something "American". Like saying Jay Z is bluegrass.

[@ddacosta9143]

this is great man. me gusta mucho

[@artamis6167]

Man this guy seems like such a cool guy.

[@misternanner]

Great lesson! I thoroughly enjoyed

[@MrHeckyO]

love his playing

[@angelikaf.9196]

Great! Can anyone recommend me some Latin (dance music) drum books? I was looking for these in Europe (Austria, Germany) but was not able to find anything related to that style of music. What are you guys oversea using? I would appreciate any recommendation, so I can try to get these in Europe or during my next trip to the US : ) thanks! Angie

[@onewithstache3639]

1:57 looks like the head on the floor tom is made of water

[@christiancastillo618]

there is a reason why it is called essential, and not advanced, he is playing basic fundamental Latin music, and I know because I naturally and genetically play Latin music with ease, please drop your egos and let the videos be.

[@jonathanacostamusica]

+Christian Castillo Essentials means the basic you may nou about something... thats not essential about nothing. Latin music is not that. That´s something deformed....

[@christiancastillo618]

Jonathan Acosta Oh ok, because last time I checked, the word Latin derives from many different countries, different cultures, therefore different styles of music. And all these music tastes come together to form another genre, so tell me what IS the properly formed style of Latin music? Maybe you should expand your Latin influence a little more.

[@arcyfelix]

more latin drumming! awesome lesson!

[@Thirdsickness]

RUSH!!!!!! Cant Hide The Star Man!

[@MrExtremeboss16]

The toms sound amazing *_*

[@fanculoate]

alex acuña!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the best!

[@Rumeel12708]

Hahaha I got bit by the Latin bug recently, I've always heard laying grooves but just recently started learning them, I got the songo down, a bit crusty but I want to learn all these!!!! that bossanova is hard hahaha

[@israelramos9745]

El resto me parece todo bien.👍 All very Good. Merengue No. Like set and sound. Amazing. Saludos

[@AquaAnim]

@Darthadriel Diaz SORRY but this is a Diala Merengue. Which guess what (its a type of merengue). It has influence from the spaniard gypsies.

[@jktang4084]

the last song is so nice！i really want to know the name of it

[@holyflerkinshnit]

That just looked fun!!

[@mtvbeavis1770]

I could see how Dave Lombardo would take influence from this type of drumming

[@camodude51]

I LOVE DRUMEO.

[@SoshiroGames]

awesome. can u upload a video about the bossa nova too? it was covered this week, but i would like to see a bit of that.

[@scooynilo]

Im latin and this has nothing to do with most of the latin music, this sounds more like traditional mexican music.

[@ManuelGonzalez-eh4wz]

scoobynilo Maaaam, you definitely need to listen to the real mexican traditional music; that's faaaar away from mexican sounds.

[@oscarbaezsoria1650]

Its always like that. The lesson has a lots of excellent drumming but when trying to distinguish between, mambo, salsa, merengue etc, they always mix them all up.

[@josestalinalmonte5531]

exacto eso es un solo de batería en alguna cancion de merengue, porque sin güira y tambora no hay merengue.

[@StikkoDrums]

what is the program they use to make the metronome thing ? GREAT LESSON!

[@FTWx81]

0-0 my grandpa used to dance mambo and I tried mambo today I discovered it was natural it just feels like I played it since ever is that normal??

[@suncana2623]

yes, it's one of the MOST EASIEST...

[@JoeNocella]

Yikes! what happened at 1:10 ? Were those supposed to be triplets?

[@Edwintito007]

I want those drumsticks!!!!

[@dbsendyd]

Where is the sheet music? I really need one..And I remember that I had printed music a year ago. What happened?

[@MissLionRose]

LOVE THIS!

[@mariaaltube]

Wow. I don't think those toms can have any less sustain o.o Sounds fantastic

[@israelramos9745]

Lo siento pero así NO tocamos en merengue en latino-anerica

[@jesuschacon1632]

+Israel Ramos Explico que estaba tomando el merengue en su propio estilo

[@judojustim]

Go learn to read music.

[@israelramos9745]

+jesus chacon Gracias. si es su propio estilo me parece Genial. Como no se Ingles no le entiendo al 100% lo que dice.

[@PatrickBuzoDrums]

Jaja dice que es su estilo... Pero la verdad que suena muy gringo jaja

[@Cal.lm96]

Sennheiser tom mics right !? Will buy them too

[@WiBouz]

Drumeo: You guys are real amazing!! keep it up !! This drummer: where is the latin drum?

[@Battossai3000]

please do a lesson about songo

[@gavinmalone8186]

I kind of wish you guys would have gone over Salsa or Montuno.

[@kistomerces]

What's the title of the first drumless track ? Great drumming

[@HugoTrigger]

Cascada ??? or Cascara?

[@amosioan]

Mike Michalkow Is my favourite !! :D

[@mohamedrazouky2034]

pleas guys can i have the instrimental the 1st one ?

[@TheTman257]

Can you do a single pedal review like your double pedal one please?

[@elite4blitz]

Me Gusta

[@MrStoogedood]

what diameter are those shells, and what heads? what wood as well

[@ididyermom3273]

Great video, ideas and applications. One criticism is that Drumeo makes everyone's drum set sound like a processed toy.

[@sargonrana]

can you guys share the type of head your using on toms

[@Tonydaling]

What was the opening latin song that he played the merengue with?

[@proximeoscolassianopolis8114]

What type of ride cymbal is playing?

[@FramingArmageddonIE]

I know 110% its a Paiste. I'm like, 95% certain its a Signature Dark Energy Ride

[@proximeoscolassianopolis8114]

Thank you.

[@davidcalcano4178]

The Merengue song he played was there

[@MikeMichalkow]

Thanks Everyone!

[@fuzzylogiceire]

It's on the Latin drumming system

[@joacorejuelamaster]

[@goober4502]

[@boolulu19]
