The Bossa Nova is one of the most iconic latin drum beats - and Mark Kelso is here to show you everything you need to know to get it under your belt. Similar to jazz drumming, the skills you develop from latin drumming will translate over to other genres. So even if you don't play latin music, don't skip over this!

"this looks deceptively simple" - this guy nailed it, very well explained.

[@63Baggies]

Completely agree with you Gustavo, the animate charts also helps a lot too.

[@roym6980]

Dude I tell my metal head friends to follow this groove on the snare only and they can't do it. Lol then they get mad that it's a simple groove and talk trash. Fk love this groove

[@RandyHanley]

a cool thing that he does that many teachers fail to miss is explaining the sound very well. Great video.

[@next-next-finish]

btw for the ones looking for the bossa nova references he talks about in the video: antonio carlos (tom) jobim, joão gilberto, astrud gilberto. hope this helps.

You read my mind.

[@mkall]

oh you cant even imagine how much it helps, thanks

[@timothycroke5307]

Never heard of Mark Kelso up until last week. Now I can’t get enough. Great player and instructor. Just incredible.

[@landmarker]

Thanks Drumeo, and thank you Mark for this beautiful introduction to the Bossa Nova.

[@jcsk8]

Teach students to count bossa nova and samba in 2/4, not 4/4. That´s well give them a better taste of the feel. Most of those songs were written in 2/4.

[@DRUM761]

Thats really a good point mate, chears from Brazil é noix hehe

[@jorgeneri]

Good point, bro.

[@amathesaxylady]

I find that most Latin and Caribbean music is in 2/4 but westerners often find it hard to count or feel it so when I arrange music I tend to write it as cut common time, which is more or less the same thing. Somehow they get that!

[@amathesaxylady]

Chris Scott when I say westerners I mean those that read and play western music. I get what you mean and agree but I find that writing it in 2/4 but using the cut common sign seems to make more sense to them. So they read it correctly. Whether they get the feel is another thing.

[@amathesaxylady]

Chris Scott for a lot of people that read western classical music, 2/4 is a march! Lol

[@sk0tb0t31]

This guy is so completely genuine and very good at teaching.

[@McAdow]

I played and listened to these tunes for years- I loved the point of the emphasis on the "3"- I never heard that before but it seems so obvious when I think about the feel in those tunes. Great video. Good reminder to listen on a different level when learning a song, to get to the bigger feel.

[@Gabriel_carvalhon]

[@allnatty3407]

Damn

[@yoyoz333]

i dont think there is a definitive rule to the cross stick pattern. for example i learnt to play the 16ths on the ride while the hi-hat pedal was playing each "&"

[@ericandcoley1909]

Amazing lesson. I love the vibe of the teacher and his passion for bossa nova drumming.

[@richardpine8011]

Mark is a fabulous teacher. Love his music and his Drumeo vids. A good bossa nova is one of the most rewarding things to play.

[@davidpenzone1078]

This is a totally awesome lesson. Opens my eyes to the variety of ways to play the drums.

[@MarceloLangame]

Great to see a north american drummer playing Bossa Nova so well. Thanks from Rio. :)

[@thecoreybrown]

That just blew my mind at 11:55!! So amazing! Thank you!

[@Ybw200owns]

I've been trying this for days. this video finally made the pieces fit

[@pirocenter]

As Brazilian Drummer a proud to see it !

[@yasminnogueiradesa8240]

Até que enfim um baterista americano tocou bossa nova como um brasileiro. Claro, ainda no básico, mas já é algo.

[@chrisl5711]

This is an excellent video. Well done in explaining how to play it. Simple and to the point.

[@boredmenofficial4504]

the bass drum sounds absolutely amazing

[@christocr]

I was thinking the same thing. Very tight, punchy bass drum sound.

[@Cherr1]

Outstanding! Really excellent, specific, and extremely helpful tips.

[@rhythmharmony2923]

excellent, thanks..!

[@Alias1055]

Sound,So important, good vid!

[@thomasmoje5926]

Wow great video. Bossa Nova patterns deceptively simple yet when played properly: elegant. As an aside: I like to use snare drums with wood batter hoops for that ideal 'cross-stick' sound.

[@walterthorne4819]

Very nice.

Hey Guys! I appreciated that you give to Brazil the previlege of being represented on this so important channel. But, here goes a tip from a Brazilian drummer: call a brazilian drummer. haha i know Mark have a excellent intension, but are some important gaps in his explanation. How about you call Kiko Freitas or Edu Ribeiro to explain with knowledge more in-depth. I hope you guys don't get me wrong, i just wanna help!! All the best for you, guys!! you're so important to us!!

[@debagusadi3626]

Nice drum

[@kessiodrums]

hehehe o ritmo do meu Brasil aí ehehehe .ficou muito legal 👏👏👏👏

[@redlovemusicknky6885]

thanks🙃

[@MaximinoSantos]

Unfortunately (or not - I think not) the best schools of Bossa Nova are in Japan nowadays. They knew, learned (with us), loved, understood and still playing originally (as Brazilian classics). Keep your cultures, guys! Keep drumming Thanks Drumeo.

[@zilganoff1674]

im confused by how you write, but i like your comment (is this about segregation or sharing cultures?????????????????????????)

[@luckas1]

Cool !!

[@thiagomanobatera]

Jurim Moreira, Kiko Freitas, Téo Lima ,Rafael Barata e Erivelton Silva um abraço a todos os Bateras Brasileiros !!!
