Those double are always great for soloing. If u start doubling it up on repiques and on the martillo, broooo...everyone is gonna look at that bongo player and say. SLOOOOW DOWN BUDDY. It has to be on that right moment. If u can do it...👍pero con quidado
I know what you mean about Ralph McDonald...I've been listening to his playing since the 70s when he played with Grover and everybody on CTI. Loved his playing and stole a lot of his licks...such an innovator...RIP Ralph McDonald.
Just got a new set of Havana Congos and bongos pearl all fiberglass i’m definitely going to take some of your tips thank you for your videos you are an inspiration in the drumming industry specially on the congas!!! I’m still trying to figure out how to tune the bongos i’ve been playing around with it trying to figure it out definitely excited thanks for the video again! Man you rip!!
This helped a lot thanks Eric! I love my giovanni galaxy bongos with the rawhide heads not into synthetic heads since they sound dead to me but you sure play great on them!
Thank you so much for those great bongos vidéos ! Good to get some fun & fresh air while a vast majioity of other vidéos are only focused on martillo ! Keep the good stuff coming, you really make a difference:-)))
A stand is different. I went to a jam session one week and killed it on my solo sitting, and the next week I was standing and tilted the bongos forward it completely through me off. Positioning is pretty important
Thanks again Eric , what do you recommend for conditioning skins ? Is there an ointment or oil that will help preserve and keep the skins in tip top condition ? Many thanks . Keep em coming !!
Legna Beats it’s a LP Galaxy series if not then is the Giovanni signature. They look very similar. But they are expensive. If you are in a Budget then the LP performer it’s great for you and don’t give me wrong the LP performer have a similar authentic sound, they are great for slap, open, close tones. But they are small drum. 6 3/4 inches on the macho and 8 inches on the hembra. Compare to the LP Galaxy and Giovanni Signature they both have a 7 1/4 inches on the macho and 8 5/8 inches on the hembra, that’s why their sound is very good.
Joamil Soto Thank you very much, I’m new getting into the percussion scene. I need to find a vid on how to tune the bongos. I appreciate the advice and will keep the performance LP’s for now. God bless
