Great info for beginners. Why do people leave bad reviews for this. Its pretty niche. If you dont like bongos, why are you watching? I find it quite amazing that someone with absolutely no interest in playing the bongos would watch this and leave a comment. Did you search for boobs and bongos came up by mistake. If you dont like what your watching, turn it off and watch something else or read a book or go for a walk. Have a life!! Im interested in learning how to play the bongos, so this is very interesting to me.
I could not agree more! This is a very helpful video for someone like me who is a beginner and is interested in learning a tip or 2 of how to play this instrument.
People always say that when someone is really good at something, they can make it look easy and effortless. And that's exactly what you have done here! Clear explanation and easy to follow, thank you :D
This is exactly the rhythm that my music director at church was trying to teach me. Thanks to your video I now know what he meant. I'll be playing it tomorrow.
I stumbled upon your video in a first grade class today. They wanted to see the Drum video! We all think you are a wonderful teacher! I love how you define your words and take your time. One of my first graders picked up this rhythm right away! We had a GREAT time! Thanks for great content!!
Excellent introduction. Many advanced players have trouble understanding what it looks like for beginners, but you show people how to layer the sound by adding complexity to an underlying simple pattern.
I’m a life long musician. With injuries from an accident I’m finding hand percussion my only unaffected ability. So, buying new percussion ( hand types). Torn between a cajon or bongos. I do music therapy as well, so bongos and other hand percussion seems more accessible. This video, explains what I’ve been know to do, but with appropriate info to do it better, thank you.
Best-sounding, most clearly presented instruction I've found here for playing the basic 'Habanera' pattern on bongos for beginners. Unlike many teachers,, this drummer plays with a clean, slinky, fluid style, rather than with a wooden feel and muddy or imprecise tones. And his bongos are tuned nicely. Kudos, Al Dworsky! I have played congas at an intermediate-advanced level intermittently for 15 years, and I have now found a tasty "in" to approaching bongos, which I need to do both for their portability, and to use them 'non-traditionally' or folklorically for accompanying kirtan groups and various improvisational settings. ⚡ Many thanks 🔴⚫🎱
Reading some of the comments here from a month or two ago, you'd think this guy is some sort of bongo anti-christ because he doesn't play EXACTLY according to the basic bongo patterns. So?!? Plays very well and I incorporated some of what he does into my repertoire, good video, by comparison I make him sound very traditional...
Thank you for sharing this videos. My friend gave me a pair of bongas drum and I used this video to help me accumulated to my new friend. I just brought the video. Thank you for sharing your experience with mankind.
Anytime I've had bongo's in my hands I've only been able to produce " junk sounds". But with this, next time I get ahold of a bongo set, your video will be my starting point
WOW.... THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!! IT REALLY HELPED!!! I have been trying and wanting to learn for a long time. I was getting the beat because your video made since . And was easy!! Regards David West (Owner) LB Exotics
My fellow bongocero, make passionate love to your drum as often as you can. I hope you master your instrument. There are a number of instruction vids on utube such as Micheal Miranda and Bongorilla to name a few. As a matter of fact they each have numbered lessons you can pull up and save to your utube library for easy access. My own drums keep me awake playing in the wee hours of the morning quite a bit. Anyways enjoy your drums bruh. 😎💪👊👍 #Bongoseros4Life

Bongos have been especially helpful with my endeavor to quit smoking. Keeping my hands busy. Thank you for the "Habanera" lesson.

Wow.. you can teach stuff this way? That was totally pleasant and unlike anything I would call 'being taught'.
Amazing how a simple setup can sound so good.
I just bought my first bongos and I’m glad I saw your video first. A great rhythm I’m from Australia
Thank you for sharing this videos. My friend gave me a pair of bongas drum and I used this video to help me accumulated to my new friend. I just brought the video. Thank you for sharing your experience with mankind.
Cool 🪘thank you for sharing 🪘🤘😎 from new Zealand 👍
Very soothing voice and video
It makes me so glad to see an emphasis on the pulse right from the beginning because I overlooked it as a beginner and very much regretted it.
Watching this video after 11 year from posting
what I love about this is how you take it step by step. nice teaching for a real beginner like me!
This was very helpful, purchasing my first set tomorrow to keep me busy during the quarantine! Actually looking forward to learning the instrument :)
Good Stuff! Clear and concise. Short enough to learn the basic method so its not easily forgotten and can be practiced anywhere. Bravo! 👏
Brilliant, very musical, accessible and above all , inspirational. ‘Groove is in the heart’ 😂
Many thanks.
Thanks...very helpful indeed. I've had my LP's for twenty years and play around, but you have inspired me to do more!
Thank you for this wonderful video and lesson - so easy to understand as I just bought my first second hand bongos ... and want to learn!
Great setting. Love the rooftop vibe.
Anytime I've had bongo's in my hands I've only been able to produce " junk sounds". But with this, next time I get ahold of a bongo set, your video will be my starting point
Surprisingly easier than I thought it was going to be. Thank you!
Bravo! Metodo che si adatta benissimo a chiunque Vogli imparare qualche ritmo con i bongos.
Got it now, thank you! I appreciate you making this for us.
We love that you did this on a rooftop!
Well... he did the start and end on roof top. You can see grass in the rest of it so the explanation was somewhere else.
Interested in whatever that board the other guy is playing actually. Pretty cool.
@@popupmassacre2445 I'm pretty sure that's a washboard, if you haven't already found out
Wow you look like you are so pretty 1:08
Man!! makes me want to learn how to play the Bongos. Love how explains the simple "beat" and progresses.
I’m going to keep this in mind for when I get some bongos. I followed along & counted out the rhythm to get a sense of it.
Great teaching, nice videolesson!

So glad to hear you learned a lot from my video Kyara. You can find all my stuff at dancinghands.com.

Bongos can become shy when you play at them. Try just playing them.

But it's really great for beginners, thanks.
Love it! I just played it on my pair!
