Surdo variations in samba. Free tutorial

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I am from that small and cold country, Netherlands. I've been playing with Brazilian musicians for almost 30 years. And I travelled to Brasil to study in Recife, Salvador da Bahia and Rio de Janeiro.

Thanks so much for all your videos Michael. We're composing some samba music in school here in Australia, your tutorials are incredibly helpful!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome!! I'm glad you can use my video's. Please keep me posted about your school, because I'm always interested!!

Hi Michael, Thanks a lot for your very usefull videos. You're a very good teacher, everything is explained in a way that it makes easy to understand the stucture of the rythm and therefore play it. I enjoy all your videos. Long life to you

@sweetcheeks4242 Yes, it is a Gope drum. It is from Brazil, but nowadays you can find all over the world!

[@MrChrisAliaga]

This video is awesome! Wish you would do a follow up video with more (advance) variations. :)

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Well, I would start with the surdo. This is an important instrument but easy to start with. When you are playing surdo in a group, you will also have time to listen to other instruments and get a feeling of how those instruments fit in the pattern from the surdo. Good luck!

Hi Michael I'm starting a course to play samba. Could you suggest me how to start it? Surdo, Tamborim, Repelique... What is the easiest to begginers... according to you! Congratulations. Very very good your videos. Good material, good quality and good profesor and excelente musician. thanks

HELLO MIRANDA, HAVE YOU SEEN THE VIDEO ON KZbin : BATERIA BACHARELADO DO SAMBA (ENSAIO DIA 29/11/14)

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

No, I don't know this video...

[@renancosme9408]

@@MichaeldeMiranda You can teach Repinique's touch in the youtube video: . At the time of the video 0:27.

[@susybrum]

Where are you from, man? For a non-Brazilian, you teach and play well the instruments of a carnival samba school.

[@Roy5813]

Good explanation, Michael. I learned surdo from the leader of an escola de samba here in San Diego, and he showed me pretty much what you are in this video. I play corte now and then when I play with SuperSonicSamba. Van jouw accent kan ik aannemen dat je nederlandstalig bent, niet waar?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Hi Gilles, Thank you for your comment! When it is possible, I try to give more information than only the pattern. Most of the rhythms have a relation with other instruments. I am very glad that you enjoy the video's!!

[@ticoinjapan]

o tempo da mão esquerda na pele do surdo de terceira é no tempo da batida do surdo de primeira ou do de segunda?

[@IagoMartinsJ]

ticoinjapan de segunda :)

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

De nada!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Ha Roy, ik kom inderdaad uit Nederland. Ik heb in Rotterdam mijn percussie school. We treden daar ook mee op, Sambalanço. En jij zit als Hollander in San Diego?

[@BATUCADAS2020DESALTA]

GRACIAS MAESTRO

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Sí, así es.

[@Roy5813]

Duh, ik moest eerst doorlezen voordat ik jou de vraag had gesteld. Ben je lid van een escola in Nederland?

[@trampmaiden]

There is also comtemporanea. Monobloco makes use of this brand.
