How to Play Barril de Bomba- Sica Rhythm
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- In this video, I'll show you how to play the Sica Rhythm on a Barril de Bomba (Barrel Drum). Due to a lot of social unrest this year (2020), the Bomba culture has made quite a stride and received worldwide attention, so I thought of making this video. The Barril de Bomba is traditionally from Puerto Rico. Before they became drums, these were barrels used by slaves to transport Rice, Sugar and Tobacco. Hope you have fun and grab you one of these drums if you can!

My Barril was made by Joe Santiago, better known as "Bomba Joe" from Bombaworks in the Bronx, NY. Great guy and an excellent "artesano" (artisan)! Here is his contact information if interested, 1000% recommended!

Difficult to tell by seeing it in video. Isn't the key difference mainly the DIMENSIONS of the drum ?
@@maxberre this drum is NOT a conga. This is a Barril de Bomba. It’s origins are from Puerto Rico, this one was made in the Bronx, New York.
Key differences that come to mind: Goat skin is used instead of Cow. Barriles are typically 24” height instead of 28-32” for a conga height. This barril has a standard tuning wrench method BUT traditionally they used either “cunyas”, where you have to hammer down wedges in the barril to bring up the pitch or “torniquetes”, which you have to hand turn to tune. These are 2 older tuning methods that some artisans still use to make barriles today.
awesome video!! thanks for the walk through!
great showing of the ghost notes!
Love that sound insulation background!
Very good vids. Thx for sharing!

Thank you Angel!
Thank you for all videos !!! Keep the good work and different rhythms !!! Are you doing pleneras in future !!!! Thanks !!! Many blessings !!!
Primo! Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos. I did a video of the Plena rhythm on Congas but I do plan on doing a video on Panderos in the future as well. Bendiciones!
Dope video my friend, I’m looking to buy a conga but don’t know what is the right one to start to play with bomba o rumba, can you tell me any link to buy it
Thanks 🙌🏾
Any drum will work, just need to get one and start practicing. But if you’re going to be playing Bomba, get a barril. If you’re playing Rumba, get a conga. All depends what you trying to do. Each one has its purpose. Sure, you could use a conga to play bomba but it’s not the same thing. Different tonality, different feel, just not the same thing or proper use.
For Barriles, there are very few options that are mass produced, most of the time, you have to purchase one from an artisan. But the mass produced ones will do the job.

Joey ya tu sabe! 🇵🇷 Un abrazo y Gracias por su apoyo!
Yo thanks for your video...who made that drum? Very niiiice!
Thank you! Joe Santiago known as “Bomba Joe” made it
@@RomanPercussion i knew it! The design is so clean, especially the hardware and leather pouch for tuning wrench. My second guess was Jay Bareck...how long ago did he make it? Peace.
Yea he did a great job, it’s been about 5 years I think. It’s made of Red Oak.
exelente una pregunta como se llama la cancion para poder practicar muchas gracias
Saludos Israel! Gracias por el apoyo! 🙏🏼 La canción se llama “Bomba Pa Siempre”

@@RomanPercussion Amen
Will, I didn't know what the heck this drum was! The head looks like it's made of wood, but obviously it's not. Could you tell us more about the drum?
Hahaha! 🤣😂 I understand because it “looks” like a conga. The skin is goat skin. It’s called a “Barril de Bomba” or “Bomba Barril Drum”.
