Grooves grooves groove on that's a groovin' beat thanks once again be safe God bless everyone 🎼🎵🎵🙏🙏🙌🤚🏹
Took me a about a half hour but I got it. I will definitely practice and use this groove where it fits as a throw in during a jam or song that fits. I usually play a lot of the grooves you share for a set amount of bars or I may play them through the entire song if it works. Eric I don’t think you have a true ideal of how much your videos has definitely help me and others. Learning the basic rhythms is cool but getting grooves that you can use when playing with a band is awesome. Especially when you’re not trying to take over the song but just enhance it. Thanks my brother and God bless you and your family.😎🪘
Man those drums sound amazing!!
Right!!!
Very nice let's get a good syncopated alternation to it, and your drum still sound great.
It certainly broadens The horizon when you mix it up. Creating different patterns and grooves, can really find a spot to fit in almost any song
Yessss!!!!
Once again a very useful lesson de el maestro superior Muchissimo gracias. Mac Phillips (estoy tocando congas a dead 82
Reminds me of Wine-Flow Disco back in the day by Mass Production (1977). Those new drums are sweet. Sound like warm honey. CRAZY!!!
Six-stroke roll with two singles. Nice.
Sounds awesome 👏 gracias maestro
Excellent variation!!!!
Love it!
I love it 😍Thanks master Eric 🤗
Great sounding drums Eric... And a great tutorial... Love it and I'll be using it for sure. Cheers!!
Those drums sound amazing.

Such a cool beat to this bro! Always enjoy your videos. Thanks a lot for sharing your talents with us mere mortals. Keep up the great work!
You are so good Eric. But year teaching style is even better!
Thank you so much for this amazing lesson. I will start with it. Love from Calcutta, India.🙏🏻
TREMENDOOOOOOOO!!!! abrazos y bendiciones desde Argentina!!!!!
Sound like early disco back in the 70s . Saludos Eric....
Excelente, Maestro!!!
Un fuerte abrazo desde Maturín Monagas Vzla!!!
Hermano Eric wow cómo puedes hacer tantos ritmos, variaciones, eres uno de los congueros con más estilo que he visto
Lo agradezco mi hermano!
Let's goooo bro!
Eric, I have your channel playing when I am at my Meinls. I love the detail you teach; the ideas, the patterns, the nuances, fast, medium and s-l-o-w-e-d down. I hope to teach my old brain some new skills.
I changed my RUclips image to capture my 12.5” Meinl Leopard Burl Tumba in it.
If you ever come to Michigan, I’m buying dinner and recording Eric on my trio of congas.
MOST DEFINITELY BROTHER!
Could you do a video on “Go Go Beats?” These are a funk-influenced/funk-adjacent style of rhythms popular in Washington DC and the surrounding area in Maryland/Virginia. The basic groove is catchy and there is a lot of percussion improvisation in performances, often for minutes at a time. Check out Trouble Funk for an example.
Haha I’m from the DMV bro! Trust I grew up on Backyard Band haha yeaaa I’ve been working on a video regarding Go-Go but I want to make it differently since there is so much cultural significance behind Go-Go that many percussionist need to know about before even breaking down a “basic” pattern
@@APercussionLife haha god bless here I am trying to explain GoGo but you already know. Look forward to it when it comes out
I love the funk
Eric, You are always a moving target, but I am enjoying taking my lead from your training.
Haha appreciate it Dan!
This is perfect if you have to stay in the pocket for most of the song.😋🔥🔥🔥
Tight!
Btw check Julian Tavares Christian Bro with mad Keyboard skills to fill that drum background.
I know it may seem pretty 101 but can you post a quick tutorial of beastie boys slow ride conga / bongo groove? I'd love to see your take on it. Thanks Eric
AGUAAAAAAAAAA!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤❤❤
Home Boy......thou art BAD!!!
bro how do you do a closed slap with one hand? great technique!
💪💪
Been watching all your vids, great channel! I’m learning a lot as I research buying my first set of congas. I’ve been looking into getting a conga/bongo set for my band, which is along the lines of alternative dance or indie disco/funk. Do you think a Quinto/conga (10”/11”) or conga/tumba (11”/12”) pair will suit that kind of music better? Also, for standing up while playing on stage do you recommend basket stands or the drum cymbal type stand?
Hey David!!! Thanks for the support and glad that you’re going on this journey!!’ Soooo in regards to Quinto/ Conga (10”-11”)… those sizes really depend on the sizes of your hands… 10” is a bit small but definitely doable… I would personally choose a 11”/12” combination as an 11” conga is a good size for my hands and can tune it to get that funk vibe…. And I would do basket stands only because I can move it to my liking
@@APercussionLife thanks for the response! So congas are usually tuned a bit lower for the funk vibe?
How about traditional conga sizes for funk? Which I believe are 11” Quinto, 11.75” conga, and 12.5” tumbadora. There’ are some pretty good deals on used mid/top tier congas for not too much more than entry level (aspire/headliner).
eric, any recommendations for a simple drum/rhythm machine that has a good number of pre-set drum set patterns to play along with?
Dig it! Can''t have too many funk pattern options in the tool bag! Thank you!!!! P.S. In one of your videos you talked about what notes you tune your 3 drums to. What were those notes? Thanks. Those Mopercs sound great- looks like you put some steer heads on them?
Honestly I didn’t tune to notes for this video… I just tuned to what I thought sounded somewhat melodic haha
@@APercussionLife not this video. it was another. any general comments about tuning to specific notes?
Congas sound good
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrravo!
May I ask you what thickness you chose by Manito ? They sound perfect
About 2.2mm on my tumbas and 2mm on my conga 🔥🔥🔥
@@APercussionLife Thanx for the quick answer man, would you recommend thinner on the quinto or 2mm works good too?
@@fredericinduni my 10” Requinto has about a 1.8-2mm… which considered thick for a Requinto/Quinto… it really depends what sound you’re looking for…. The thicker the head the “dryer” or “less resonant” the sound… the thinner the “more projected” of a sound.. soo like a lot brighter.
@@APercussionLife fair enough, well my quinto is 11' and I love that old school dry sound, so I guess 2mm would be perferct, gotta be patient they're out of stock rn
I would love to sit through one of these videos but I’d rather do anything than sit through that many mid roll ads. Won’t do it
