michael de miranda teacher.. congas is very wonderful.. thank you very so much..😊

Mr. Miranda is a phantastik teacher. Why? Because he doesn't look or speak with Macho. But when he opens his mouth and speaks the authority in his delivery and presentation is filled with a knowledge that is executed to perfection. Confused? Another way to say is the way he breaks down each sectional movement, with such humility it overtakes the fiercest critics who might say his English pronunciation is stilted and breaks the student's concentration. I say bravo Michael de Miranda. Your English pronunciation is just beautiful, charming, and adds to the generosity of your mission (if I may say) to educate the world of drummers who want to learn. I applaud your courage to share with a singular perfection the knowledge in a way we can learn. Yehūda (just retired teacher from the San Francisco Unified School District). With love and light.

Panga taught me that exact same Abakuá Matancera 3 drum pattern in Habana! It is such a beautiful pattern. Thank you.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

That's great! Panga is super!!!

[@caljer5]

Excellent lessons - the combination of breaking down the pattern + visual notation is awesome.

[@draknagar]

Wow ! you have made it ridiculously simple! Thanks for this great lesson.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Perhaps you can send me a link of the Patato Valdez pattern that you want to be explained. Because Patato has so many variations and he can play the tumbao so freely. I don't know what patterns you like!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

+iheartMambo Thank you! It is always good to take classes and develop! Good luck!

[@Msgdos]

There's something about 6/8 rhythm, it's so driving. I love them!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

6/8 rhythms always have a nice flow, that's why it feels good to play these rhythms!

[@Squirrelconga]

It's similar to our heartbeat. If you think of triplets, with the last one a rest: One-trip-(rest), Two-trip-(rest). OR in Six: 1-2-(rest)-4-5-(rest) 💓💓⏸️. 💓💓⏸️

[@iSalsaCZ]

Great class as allways! Thank you.

[@matheusgoonie]

very good michael thank you!

[@standTruthforJustice]

Hi Michael. These 4 rythms here are quite new to me. Can I know what kind of music can I play with these? For examples, maybe you can give the name of some common, familiar American/Latin music from Gloria Estafan, Sergio Mendes, Tito Puenta, or other latin/cuban musicians. Thank you

[@KwandoRay]

Very, Very Good. Thank you, Maestro

[@juniorpena9482]

Thank you so much for your lessons. I have learn much. You explain clear and well. My only question for you is, at what point do we improvise? God bless.

[@DicksonRichie]

Great video. Many thanks for sharing

[@Lickshotz1]

Thank you for the videos. I know you said, that you are not specialized in african rhythms, but since angolan semba and brazilian samba are fairly close together, could you do one of those, or invite someon that can? It's so hard to understand the feel of the music if you dont understand the "tribal" part of it. Thanks :)

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I am glad you like my videos. If you have links from Semba and good information about it, then I can check it out. BTW I did some Candomblé rhythms and Cuban Bantu rhythms, they are from the Angola region. I don't know if you've seen them, but they are interesting too. I wish you good luck!

[@maxmadro]

Thanks man Did you try to reverse your video to make it easier for the right handed (sorry for the left team) ? The mirror effect is really helpfull when you try to learn a new rythm Because when i do the exact opposite move i feel like a bad dancer who is stepping on girl feet. Anyway great job

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

For this abakua Habana style you need a little independency, but once you've got this, it is great to play!!

[@MrEdium]

THIS IS AN AMAZING WORK !

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Your welcome and have fun with the rhythms!!

[@checher.4532]

¡Muchas Gracias, Maestro!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Graag gedaan! Veel plezier met de ritmes!!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much!!

[@ateembo2006]

Great Job- Thank you! (Is the sound recording a bit behind though?) Maybe it is my connection.... Thank you for your videos.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very muuuuch!!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

You have a sharp eye! When I look very closely, I can see it too. The audio is a little bit behind. I hope it is not big problem for everybody.... Thanks for your comment!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you!

[@CoffeeRubens]

Heel prettig uitgelegd, fantastic!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks a lot man!!

[@KwandoRay]

Excellent!!!

[@theillestdrummer7822]

Can you give some advice on what frequency you tune your drums to from the requite to the tumba

[@IsaacOLEG]

That is an excellent job and thanks !! written or decomposed in 6 8 for the reading facility ? it should be 12 8 is not it ?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you, Isaac. I wrote it in 6/8 because of the clave in these rhythms. And the clave is also written over 2 bars. But you count these rhythms in 4.... Enjoy the rhythms.

[@IsaacOLEG]

Thanks, Michael,sorry I am lazy and did not count really you mean 4 for one measure or 4 for the complete pattern ? (I think I did see old scores with the clave on 1 bar, which was not so easy to read ) I play the piano but I like rythms and appreciate how well explained they are there . Great Eh just realized, the 2 bar pattern is maintained because of the flow, the balancing of the clave , isnotitte ? !!

[@grwatanabe]

thanks michael!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thanks!!

[@marijkejongapin1083]

[@cordobin91]

i love your job, really good. greetings from Argentina. a little thing: the previous count should be 1-2-3, not 1-2-3-4... this music is in 3/4 or 6/8

[@efunminirealade3293]

Two measures of 6/8: 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a

[@juliotirado2793]

I have a big question ,I tray to see how I locate my 3 drums ,I can see the quinto its in center buet the conga and tumbadora I don't know if is left or right do to the way sometimes computer reflect ,

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Julio Tirado Hello Julio, I don't if you are right or left handed, but most of the time they put the tumba on the side of your strong hand. So I am right handed and the tumba is on my right side. Good luck!
