Great congas/bongos combination Eric, They're very useful! We're just waiting for many others 😎
I love this pattern man!!! And yes, gonna bite this from you!! Gracias!!
Hi thanks nice patterns GBLESS
You know I like Drums
Eric, I am really enjoying the variety of material you are putting out. Trying this new material is really helping my playing and some of the material is making into my general repertoire. I am sure this the same for many others. Keep it going, it’s great what you are doing... I have a request :) I am enjoying exploring 6/8 on two congas currently and wondered if there was any good transitions to and from 4/4 and 6/8 Cuban style rhythms you could demonstrate. This happens sometimes within samba, switching between a 4/4 samba swing into a short 6/8 section and back again. It sounds great and I’d like to be able to do this in a Cuban rhythm setting.
James Collis awesome suggestion!!! Thanks!
Eric, loove this one!!! I do alot of funk,house,deep house lounge, R&B lounge,smooth jazz lounge,chill house lounge music so this pattern works soooooooo well along with my crazy as you call go go playing yes I do that with traditional techniques & freestyle playing waaaay funky Eric Perez loove it plus when I have a video of me doing it you gotta check it out!!
gracias mi hermano buscaba una combinacion para el coro de soy una saeta de Jesus Adrian Romero y esta esta perfecta!
Theeeeeere you are! ¿donde estabas? 😆
John F. Kelly hahaha maaaaan just keepin busy haha
You familiar with Master Henry Gibson? He's funky.
"We got to have a funky good time!" would James Brown say to this video. 😎
El Comandante 😂😂😂 oh man!
Without joking man, your precicion to play is incredibel. Every same stroke sound identic.
more videos of Conga+Bongo.... thanks.....
Excelente leccion maestro, tienes algún tutorial para acompañar ritmo de rock, latín rock, Ska en bongoe y congas? Saludos desde Colombia.
El Sr. Jota Music pronto mi Hermano!!! Gracias para la sugerencia!
Great video like always.. Just a heads up.. Try changing your front lead camera angle so you not strait shooting. Away from the glare of the bongos hardware so possible to see you hand hitting the bongos heads.. God bless
MiTimbal Videos appreciate the input brother!!
I like the 12 funk patterns in 4 minutes. Is it possible to present at least the first one step by step? I would love to learn it. I also like about 5 others but I'll settle for learning the first for now. Thanks
HeyEric, just been listening to Armando's great and stunningly superb bongo work on la Fuente Del Ritmo from Caravanserai. Maybe, possibly and quite probably the most sublime and amazing bongo playing since bongos were invented..?
Ive always treated bongos as just really high pitched quintos in patterns. Not sure if that's right but its gotten me by.
love this one, what would adding a 3rd conga do to this groove?
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for another great video Eric. If anyone can listen to that beat without moving some part of their body, they must be dead. ;)
Q: What bongo stand do you use? Maybe you can add it to the gear list in the description?
Thanks again brother!
I got the exercise but what kind of funky you recommend to rehearsal with ?
Hi Eric. What stand are you using for the Bongo? I am looking for a setup like that with 3 Tumbadoras and a Bongo on a stand but playing in the seated position. Thank you
Eric , I noticed you always have your drums on the floor. Do you put anything under each one and what is it ??
Yes... I have serving trays under each drum.
A Percussion Life
Wow !!! The things we never see ! Lol
Someone suggested cuts of wood under each one. Can you tell me why you use trays versus anything else and what type of trays?
I’ve got Remo Fiberskyn heads and they sound very high pitched! I’m having a hard time tuning them. Help !!
Felipe Hernandez. Myself, I use LP rubber conga feet. Lifts the drums up around an inch or more, lets the sounds out even if floor is carpeted.
When I started playing bongos with the band I stated, “ now with tasteful bongo fills” I was told tasteful and bongos couldn’t be used in the same sentence.
Hi master I have question how slow do I start practicing this exercise to my tempo with the metronome or a drum
Base on the back ?
If slow it down it's hard down South trap song lol like lil Boosie songor even juvenile or 666 mafia
Porque no lo haces en español?
Kelly Lambert,
Since your using the rubber feet. Any problems with tilting your main drum while your playing ?
Felipe Hernandez . I can play my main drum and still tilt a little bit. Or I can have my tumba on the feet and play conga without and tilt. Mostly use rubber feet on both so I don’t have to “ hang on “ to drums with legs, and just concentrate on playing.
Do you always play with your ring? I have to take mine off so I don't break my finger and don't get the ckick from my ring hitting the rim or the head.
Normally yes.... the ring I use is a “rubber ring”... or an “athletic ring”... so it causes no injury or damage to either my finger or the drums.
Thank you. We should try hooking up sometime and share percussion knowledge sometime. My name is Greg Allen, but my musician friends call me ChilleG, and used to play with a professional jazz group called Max Groove. If you'd like to check out one of his most famous songs, RUclips a song called Fiesta Sol. I think you'll like it. Keep on doing what you're doing!
Question for you: Is the funk you're referring to more Latin Funk based or more R&B based funk?
Notification gang lol
Bryan Lara Ayyyyyeeee!!! 🔥🔥🔥
your intro is waaaaay too long
