Eric, taking time is what I am doing & it is the best to do that for rushing things is stressful ! Thanks for this video for the freestyle conga drummer!
Yo brother! Somehow your videos came into my world and they have burned my uninspired booty into action. Thank you for your videos, you are an inspiration to practice. Keep up the good work. I've not been into playing as much but damn these vids are exactly what I needed. Much love and respect from Cali yo!
Excellent tips and so well explained with your twin brother! 😅 Any recommendations for apps or play along tracks, maybe with clave, Cuban, salsa etc..?
Team No Smart Phone, raise your hands o/ But yes, I just learned last week how much can help to record yourself, I get to notice a few big mistakes even without others commenting on it, but also a lot more details when y'all did comment on a few vids I posted on twitter... If we use a good DAW that can play the click while recording the audio we can combine two of your tips, the metronome and the recording, it helped me a lot to see where I was missing my clave hits (the one of the second bar I was always missing on 2-3 rumba), and after recording and adjusting, I can now hit it perfectly, after a lot of practice. Great video, this one has a lot of wisdom in it, thank you, and congrats on reaching 33k!
Honestly i would love for you do redo that video. With your production quality it would be awesome! And yes PRACTICE everyday no matter how long! Even a minute does the trick.
Eric, I'm a newbie and viewed your video last week and have implemented patience and a metronome into my practice. Gracias por tu tiempo maestro!
I never thought to record myself and is a great tip....muchas gracias!!!!
Thanks Eric, wonderful tips,I have metronomes which I never use but I am using it right now.
Great explanation!
Saludos Eric !

Eric, super video! Sometimes you need to step out of routine and reset to the basics! You made that clear in an inspirational way. Thanks again.

Practice say whaaaaat los músicos de ahora no quieren practicar y ni siquiera hacer ensayos con los grupos antes de tocar.
That's Wright men
