Absolutely perfect stuff for the beginner timbalero- which, as of two weeks ago, I am! Thanks so much, Michael, for your work. I’m going to go back and watch all these now.
This Dutch brother has a lot of talent and, clearly, a great deal of passion for the Timbales. I just wish he spoke with a strong Spanish accent to bring some SABROSURA to the mix! Vamos chico!!
Excellent video! If you can, please, could you do a lesson dealing with the proper technique for timbale abanicos? (paradiddles, etc.) I am learning how to play timbales and I have not seen ANYONE explain techniques as extensively and as patiently as you do, Michael. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Thank you Michael for this instruction. It is exactly perfect timing at my skill level presently. These are the transitions that I needed to be broken down and shown how to fit them into the clave. Saludos desde New Jersey.
Thank you, mate! I'm glad that you enjoy my channel. I will continue with posting more videos on Patreon: www.patreon.com/MichaeldeMiranda I hope to see you there!
Muchas gracias por los videos y saludos desde una Indonesiana en Dubai. You're an excellent teacher. I hope to be able to improve very soon after watching your tutorials.
gracias maestro por todos esos aportes que haces por esta via eres la unica persona hasta ahora que si le interesa enseñar de verdad que dios lo bendiga por siempre desde santo domingo R.D un amigo de veras
You are right, normally your left hand is on the hembra. The reason I play the clave is to show that it is a 2/3 clave and where the transitions are in the clave. For the explanation it is good to know how it fits in the clave. But normally the transitions are on the same place but the left hand is on the hembra.
Thank you Michal. I enjoy your patience in dealing with Timbales...lessons. 101. I was inspired to learn how to play Timbales as a results of the Hawthorne Caballeros Drum and Bugle Corp. Alumni of NJ. The Timbales stand out in their performance... check them out.. Regards Joe. keep up the great work...
Heel goed Michael. Het klingt prima! It is the first time I've heard transitions explained relative to the clave notes. Fantastisch! Ik heb je net gevonden op de internet and will continue to follow.
Well, both ways are valid. I think playing the rimshot on the three is done a lot in cha-cha-cha and also slower tempi. Playing it on the two-and is not a modern cuban way. It is done a lot in latin-jazz, salsa ect. So you can use both ways.

Hi Michael thanks for the video! I have been taught by various people (all latin percussionists from USA) to play the rim shot before the abanico on the third beat of the three side bar of the clave rather than the two-and. I read in changuito's book to do it the same way you taught so i was wondering is this a fairly modern cuban variation? are both ways valid?
Read those books again a bit more carefully. When playing in 3-2 clave, the rim shot is played on the third beat (of the TWO side) and then the abanico is played on the fourth beat. When playing in 2-3 clave, the rim shot is played on the and of 2 (of the THREE side) and then the abanico is played on the fourth beat. An easy way to remember this is to think about the logic of the clave. The two side of the clave has its most important hits on the downbeats. The three side of the clave has its most important hits on the upbeats. Think about the piano guajeo. On the two side of the clave the piano plays primarily on the downbeats. On the three side of the clave the piano plays primarily on the upbeats. Even though you are a drummer in order to understand the music as a whole it is essential that you understand the piano guajeo. So if you are playing in 2-3 clave, your transition happens in the three side of the clave. The three side is where the piano guajeo plays primarily upbeats; and so your rimshot before the abanico will happen on the and of 2 (an upbeat). If you are playing in 3-2 clave, then your transition happens in the two side of the clave. The two side is where the piano guajeo plays primarily on the downbeats; and so your rimshot before the abanico will happen right on that third downbeat. I hope that this clears up any confusion, and gives you an easy way to remember.
Question: I thought normally the timbalero would only play clave with the cascara during the verse and during the coro & mambo when he plays the mambo bell pattern he would play notes with his free hand on the hembra. Yet you play the clave with the mambo bell pattern. Am I right? And is there any special reason for you playing it differently?

Bravo supermaster saudos de california
Muchas gracias! Saludos desde Holanda!!
i am from venezuela and want learn how is the abanico when the start the coro or when start the singer
Question: I thought normally the timbalero would only play clave with the cascara during the verse and during the coro & mambo when he plays the mambo bell pattern he would play notes with his free hand on the hembra. Yet you play the clave with the mambo bell pattern. Am I right? And is there any special reason for you playing it differently?
hola tendras samples del timbal?
En Español seria genial para entenderlo Mejor gracias saludos desde Venezuela.
alguna aplicasion paradescar los videos...?
What is that red instrument near the mambo bell
A plastic woodblock. It sounds very loud....
What happens if clave is 3 -2 ????
+mabo7525 I would play different transitions, because these examples are really 2/3 based. But in 3/2 there are many possibilities too.
+Michael de Miranda thanks a lot for your video!..you are great!...please record a video about 3-2 clave transition!!
hola no hau videos en español
Are you dutch?
Yes! But I can't skate....
Maar wel heel goed drummen ;)
iTomaaD Dank je!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Thanks!!
