mozambique on 3 congas Free lesson by Michael de Miranda

[@kenbour5928]

I have been an amateur drummer for over 50 years and just purchased a set of LP Jr. Congas. I am completely new to hand drumming and want to compliment your videos as among the very best that KZbin has to offer. I especially appreciate that you (a) write out the parts (right side) and (b) demonstrate the appropriate techniques. Thank you, Michael!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much! I hope you can use my video's. Enjoy the conga's!

[@peacefulpsyche]

Thank you Michael! I know it must be a lot of work to sit down and make these videos... and I'm sure its not always the most fun to go over a rhythm that you have already done with 2 congas, but we are all so glad you put the time and effort in! it will help countless others over the many years to come!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you! That is really nice to hear! As long as people enjoy the lessons I'll continue. The good comments also help me and I still have fun in doing this!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you very much! I am glad that you enjoy my videos!

[@arturosalasgonzales]

Thank you!. It would be great if you could transport the kurubete rhythm to the congas, since this rhythm is played on the batá drums. Please!

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Perhaps you can send me a link where I can see how they play it.

[@jcrewzak9409]

Nice

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you!

[@miguelgutierrezjr.4393]

Michael, thank you for these videos as they've been very helpful to me! I am practicing this as I am typing this to you and I have a question. I notice that it looks like you have a plastic head on your quinto, and cows skin on your other congas, is this correct? If so, do you do that for the purpose of getting better tonality out of your slaps? Just curious, because I hear great things about plastic heads, and how they might be more beneficial to beginners like me who have been playing for about a year now.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Well Mike, the skin on my quinto is steer. I don't use plastic skins, although the quality is getting better and better, I am a nature man. If you play outside with temperature differences it might be better to use plastic skins, but I don't like the sound... But this is only my opinion. Good luck!

Hi Michael great vudeo, in which clave are these 2 exercises?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

The clave 2/3 son clave.

[@memotube24]

Hi Michael,What are the sizes of those congas could you tell,pls.

[@dennisbrian6296]

I don't always drink beer but when I do I prefer a Heineken while learning from my friend Michael. (I'm still working on a plane ticket to Holland to take you up on your offer.) I have all kinds of questions but lets start with this one. You express rhythms and technics in music script and 6/8 time ect., and I never learned music, however, I can hear a rhythm and easily duplicate it. Do you think my learning music would help my conceptual understanding of rhythms? Couldn't t hurt, huh. And where are you in the Netherlands? I need to know where to buy my ticket to. (Just kidding) Stay thirsty my friend. DBH
