  • Woooo today's video was fun...
    Sorry for the long video, but this pattern is somewhat complex and I wanted to cover as many little details as possible.
    Samba is such a vibrant and electrifying Brazilian pattern... And my friend Gary Sosias presented me this variation to share with you all and my goodness is it awesome! Thanks Gary for trusting me with this!
    *TUTORIAL STARTS AT 5:43
    I hope y'all enjoy this one. Tell me what you think...

    Hey Eric, love your videos mano!!!!...I'm glad you did one on the samba as I am both Brazilian and Colombian. One of the great percussionists of the samba and other Brazilian rhythms on congas is Paulinho da Costa. His album "Agora" (1976), especially "Ritmo Number One", "Terra", and "Berimbau Variations" explores many different Brazilian rhythmical patterns on tumbadoras (ie cafezal , baião, etc.) His classical song "Toledo Bagel" combines both Samba and Salsa together. Another great Brazilian percussionist who is very underrated and not well known but who used tumbadoras extensively to replace Atabaque drums was Papete (Jose de Ribamar) who focused more on the folkloric traditions of the Northeast of Brazil (afoxe, timbor de crioula, maracatu, bumba meu boi, etc) especially from his home State of Maranhão. A great album to listen to from him is "Berimbau E Percussão" (1975). I would say those 2 along with Airto and Nana brought the "Brazilian Clave" into the popular spectrum of Latin percussion.

    In the early folk drumming traditions of Trinidad and Tobago, the drummers only had their homemade African drums, and to play Spanish, french and other influences of music these elders had to be very creative.
    We have a folk rhythm named samba, and it fits perfectly with what you are doing on the congas here...
    Great video. I'm definitely fitting this into a piece of drum music I'm putting together

    Cool. You can see how your friend arranged for one player the parts played by several percussionists. I love seeing different approaches that work. Rhis groove is close to one of the samba "levadas" showed to me by an important percussion recoeding artist in Rio, who learned the grooves from Pirulito (RIP), the legend! Useful info...these grooves are not always played in the same direction. The phrasings of some tunes start on "three". Kind of like how you would play 2-3 vs 3-2 clave.

    Saludos. Primero que todo quiero agradecerte porque tengo meses siguiendote y por lo practico de los tutoriales desempolve mis congas y he estado estudiando. A manera de sugerencia deberías acompañar los ritmos al final de los videos con algún tema famoso en la que el patrón pueda ser usado. Un abrazo y bendiciones. (estoy teniendo problemas con el tema 2/3 y 3/2 de los tumbaos, me encantaría que los videos de tumbaos tuvieran los dos enfoques o quizás un video dedicado a entender mejor como "partir" nosotros mismos los patrones para adaptarlos a una y la otra clave)

    Eric! you are a genius, but i have to say that this groove doesn´t sound like samba. I recommend to you to liste the rythms of Samba de Roda, and Samba duro, both played on the Atabaques and in the Timbal. They are better to play on the congas, has mucho more sense

    You maybe explained it in the beginning but sorry I skipped 😄 contrary to most of Samba rythmes adapted to congas who just do the continuum of repinique / caixa , it looks like the one you show is doing the 3rd surdo pattern (cortador ) maybe I’m wrong 😬

    Learn partido alto, and own it on the congas. Or you can play the surdo pattern and a telecotco. Will sound much better. The easiest way would be learning samba de Roda And then translated it to your congas. I respect Eric, he’s a hell of a conguero. Perhaps because Afro Brazilian percussion is my roots, I feel comfortable to say. Learn samba de roda. You’ll understand the feel, maybe comeback to this partido alto like rhythm
