I just loved it when you finished your play-a-long demo at the end and the music fades out as you say, "OK, I hate to have to stop it but ta, the producer has indicated to me that it is time to move on..." just as the dog outside comes to the door like HE is the producer!!! LOL The timing was impeccable!!!
Thank You SO Much for reminding me of the Martillo Son 3-2. I earned it from an Ancient Friend. Mnemonic was simply, 'I want another one.Give me another one.' Bless You,Sir!
Hey Edgardo, I look in on your videos now and then, and offer respect and congratulations to your fine playing, and your true and simple teaching. I have a dear friend who is looking to study, and can travel. Since I rarely teach, I'll recommend you. Where are you based? Steve Bloom (from Afrocubanismo)
I've had about 4 days in the past 2 years where I've finally been home alone and your videos are on all day each of those 4 days when I can finally practice in peace. These are awesome. I play in the bay area as well and my girlfriend is a jazz horn/flute player. Maybe we'll see each other one day soon :)
Loved the disclaimer at 6:43 ! 😄It needs to be said: let's use our energy to make people feel good, rather than fighting about theories. If something new works, it works, and we feel it because... we have heard traditions. Thx for your generosity. Got me clear on a few things. 👍🙏 Best wishes.

Got my first lp bongos today.. Found this amazing tutorial and played Martillo iwithin mins with the help of this guy.. I will be checking out all of your tutorial.. Do you have any in tunning the bongos found a few but... I would love to hear your advice..
@@dancepapi Holà Papi, con todo el respecto... hace 11 mezes que yo "stay tuned" :) pero de nuevo esperando a unos maravillosos cursos como este, bien collocao,, con un bueno senso de la pedagogía y del groove... Muchas gracias y Por favor... DE MAS !!
You are a wealth of knowledge and skill and I learned a lot watching your video. I have issues with the counting and play by instinct. I know the tones, martillo, etc., but after seeing what you do in the video I realize where my focus will be at. I need to practice with a mentor, bottom line. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you for the amazing tutorial, it’s very helpful and easy to follow! I’ve realised that when I’m practicing the variation I was always missing the fourth hit. What I found helpful was using a talking metronome instead of a normal one, to make sure I’m hitting mute notes when he’s saying one and three, and making sure I’m hitting the low bongo on four (you can just search talking metronome on RUclips at it’ll come up). Also some more variations would be great!
About 1970 I went to the Palladium Ballroom on Broadway in New York City (where I lived) to experience Tito Puente's band. My real motive was to learn how the bongocero played in a big band. I believe his bongo player was Dandy. What stuck with me the most was how he would mix in that hard left hand "crack". I don't recall Dandy picking up the cowbell. As a young white boy I was scared to death mixing in with the gentes negras. As soon as the band stopped I was outta there!
I really appreciate the way he explains the techniqurs and emphasizes and animates certain those techniques. I would have so much fun if I could sit with him as a student, because it's as if he knows my personality and how I learn. :~)
Hey, I was waiting for this bongos follow-up for ages - THANK YOU! Everyone knows you are a great musician and band leader, but you are also an absolutely brilliant educator. I wish I lived some 10000km closer to where you live and could attend your lessons. But I'm still learning, remotely :)
Thank you so much for sharing this lesson, it made me one step closer to start playing bongo drums! Finally I got them! So thank you for inspiration! And this song is amazing, it so in my head since I heard it, would appreciate if you share the name of it, want to try play to it too! Keep it up! ;)
Excellent Master video. I like the base that is playing at the end of the video in the 14:00 minute, is there any way to get it? I would facilitate that file in mp3? I would thank you very much or tell me where I can buy it. I thank you in advance. Thanks! Esteban Fernandez
Esteban, The music in the background is a loop form an application called "Salsa Rhythm". The logo looks like a small red color square with a couple of yellow maracas in the middle. It will take a couple of minutes for you to figure our the application and how to use it., but it is a nice practicing tool. Much more fun than a regular metronome. Take care and keep the fun in your practice OK?
Muchisimas gracias Papi...jeje Me gusta mucho sus videos. Son facilies entender y seguir para los gringos viejitos como yo. Pero, te pido una cosita por favor.....puedes aumentar el volumen un poquito? A veces mis oidos viejitos no pueden distingir todas las palabras tuyas. Gracias ante mano y sigues con las buenas lecciones. Feliz noche de Medellin y Dios te bendiga.
Rafael D. , para serte honesto, no recuerdo a qué velocidad puse la aplicación “Salsa Rhythm” en ese momento. Pero es muy fácil para ti poner tu metrónomo (o cualquier aplicación que estés usando) a una velocidad similar. Simplemente: escucha la música y si tienes un metrónomo digital, la mayoría de ellos tienen un “tap the tempo” botón, identifica el tempo de la música que use yo, y luego acomoda cuál sea que tú estás usando a la misma (o parecida) velocidad. De todos modos: es una buena idea que anuncie en los videos futuros a que velocidad estoy tocando. Buena idea. Buen comentario. Gracias y sigue practicando.
This is great - can you share what backtrack/music your using? The tempo is just right and the clave sound is crystal clear to practice with ... Gracie Mili!
isn't the PA KU after the 2 of the clave? You were playing it after the 3. Your videos are really good. Really enjoy your teaching techniques. SALSA RHYTHM is a great App.
Edward, as I say in the video, different people put that variation on different sides of the Clave... and further more, even the same player when followed thru the whole song may put it in different sides with in the same tune. I generally opt for the "Pa Ku" (as you called, and I like it) at the end of the 3 side of the clave, ending on beat ONE of the 2 side of the clave. I hope this clarifies. Thanks for your comments and for watching my videos.
Maestro, hace falta un tutorial de cómo tocar el quinto en la rumba (guaguancó), con ideas y conceptos y cómo afrontarlo. Gracias por sus conocimientos!!!
great lessons! Thanks Any recommendations on Bongos? I'd like to purchase a set but have no idea on what brand to get or how much to spend. I have an LP Rumba Conga and I like that a lot.
Kept67, you can buy the match to your Rumba Model Congas, if you do so, I recommend you change the skins and put Remo Fiber 3 bongo heads on both (or at least in the macho) or high drum. But if your bongoes happen to come with decent heads already, play them until they need changing and don't "mess" with them (-:).. Another good intermediate quality bongo would be the Matador Wooden Bongo. But there are MANY good quality and not very expensive bongoes out there. Good luck to you and thanks for watching the videos.
@@arifjamal5841 The Bongó on this video is a 1974 LP classic Bongó, a sort of collectors item, although it is not very unusual to find some of this around on E-Bay. A very similar sound compared with the video bongo is: Another good intermediate quality bongo: "Matador" model Wooden Bongo. You would add (change) the usual heads that come in the bongo for the Remo synthetic (plastic) skins I have on the video. Good luck to you and thanks for watching the videos. If I would be in the market for a Thailand (which they all are in its majority) made bongo: this would be my choice: www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/lp-original-1964-bongos/j05370000001000?cntry=us&source=3WWRWXGP&gclid=CjwKCAjw7-P1BRA2EiwAXoPWAx9PN_XfZ6r7MmVyV3GPR9aOiCxKQeki57GmB9JH0vHc2FZ_UOjGCBoCdIwQAvD_BwE With this bongo (link) you wouldn't (likely) have to change the heads on it Good luck to you and thanks for watching the videos.
Chuck, thanks for watching the videos, check the first bongo video in which I explain the technique of the different sound. I think the "click" sound you are referring to should be there. Have fun with the bongó!
I guess you talk Spanish. But I'll write in English. I note that you teach only ONE variation. It's very nice. And is named " REPIQUE" by some bongonceros. The back music is very nice to practice. Good video, good class. Ah! and beautiful dog
Hola Oscar, gracias por los comentarios. La mayoría de estos videos son para principiantes. En el minuto 13.40 del video ahi "saco la mano" un poco más e improviso un poco. Estamos de acuerdo, los términos "Repique" o "Golpe" o simplemente "acento" son comunes para definir esa variación. Ya sacaré mas videos improvisando cosas más elaboradas, conceptos de solo, etc. Un saludo musical. Gracias.
Amigo soy amante del bongo, toco campana pero no tengo bongo y eso me molesta, pero sigo los tutoriales y me gusta como enseña pero por favor si lo puede hacer en español. Gracias.
This guy makes it really easy to understand and covers all my questions that other videos have not. Love this guy.
Thank you Nathan!

What bongos are you using in this video my friend? Love your stuff!
Que bueno y qué bien explicado, me ha gustado la afinación que llevas en el bongó, cual es? Do hembra y Sol macho?
I really appreciate the way he explains the techniqurs and emphasizes and animates certain those techniques. I would have so much fun if I could sit with him as a student, because it's as if he knows my personality and how I learn. :~)

Gracias Peter!
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for watching!
Please, can you provide the name of the base music to practice on ? Thank you !
Can you make a video on different stiles for bongos?
We have more bongo videos planned!
No hay posibilidad se colocar los subtitulos? Muchos no hablamos ingles. y la verdad ésta clase me parece espectacular!
La idea es grabar todos estos videos de nuevo en español en el futuro. :-)
@@dancepapi Seria buenísimo!! Vale la pena. Muchas gracias. SLD
Can you show how you count the other variations at the end and the finger rolls ? Thank you.
We'll ask Edgardo about it for a future video.
Great video !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Ricky!

Bango, huh??
thanks for the video man!
Thanks for watching!
Please teach us how to tune a bongo. Thanks
Great idea for a tutorial! Thanks!
Can you give me some artists on spotify, classic kind of of latin "jazz" bands? that use this rythm
This is much more a traditional ''Salsa'' band rhythm. Latin-Jazz tends to be more freeform, but there are no hard and fast rules.
great lessons! Thanks
