Some very good points made here. I never realized that the first open comes after the first beat of the bar! I've now got just that little bit more understanding of this great rhythm
@@mikec.3958 Si señor. It’s an easier entry for beginners. I started playing while growing up in PR in the 70s. Great explanation on the relationship to the clave. Playing atravesado it’s like dancing without any clave coordination. Some learn complex salsa steps but perform them completely out of rhythm and they look terrible even when using fancy turns. Same thing here, you can do everything right but if you are “atravesado” it sounds terrible. It’s sooo important. I started out playing “trepado encima” de la clave and atravesado until I was corrected and all of a sudden all the repiques/Cortes started falling in place. Great point you are emphasizing.
Thanks for the lesson! Very easy to understand and follow. You have a nice relaxed style of teaching, personable. More uploads, please. Subscribed! Those drums sound nice, are they, original models? And are those manito skins on them? They sound great!
@@mikec.3958 I have just an original model conga, I'm after a quinto. I'll need to get some manito heads on them when I manage to source a quinto. Thanks for the reply.
Best breakdown I’ve seen thus far, thank you
con oido definido e instinto cae solo
