HOW TO PLAY MAKOSSA THE RIGHT WAY

Learn how to play the popular Makossa genre (actually called Seben). #seben #drums

[@cheneba9242]

I am a Cameroonian drummer😊
And we do play makossa a lot...so what I can contribute is this:
The pattern played here(in the video) is actually "Seben"
Makossa is actually very diverse... sometimes played with exclusively hi-hat + rim clicks (traditional) and sometimes snare + hi-hat.
The one played exclusively on the snare has accents on the :
1, a of 1, & of 2, a of 2, & of 3, and 4
Sorry I can't play and send as of now😅
NB: we are counting out 16th notes

[@OlowoyoriEzekiel-er2jx]

Nice lesson,I actually thought it wasn't going to sound nice without loop,that's why I'm still playing seben/makossa with my Hi-hat,it's all good,I will try it.Good one Boss 💯

[@TochSticksMusic]

It will sound nice..
Its just that you're not used to playing it that way.
I add in my hi hat too sometimes though

[@tuyishimeelisha6441]

hello brother. please start your video with beat that you are going to teach, so that the rushing audience can be caught up before they live.

[@TochSticksMusic]

No problem man.
I've been considering that lately.

[@danielndam7079]

we can mix the seben with makossa

[@danii_vybzz]

Seben and Makossa is the same thing boss

[@gideonagbede]

can we get the track sirr

[@TochSticksMusic]

I got it from a channel which I already stated in the video.

[@happinesschinarekele5327]

It's originated from congo

[@lawalnurudeen8002]

That was makossa
Seben is a bit different

[@royaltsalach199]

Okay! I see. The Nigerian Makossa is based on the 3rd phase of Seben. Its actually 3 phases as a whole. There's the 1st for starting a song. 2nd for making the song seem settled. 3rd for Making everything go crazy😅🙌. And mostly thats what Nigerian drummer use. The 3rd phase.

[@TochSticksMusic]

Oh I see..
Wish there was a video that I could watch to understand the first 2 phases.
Thank you so much for this man 🙏🏾
