It's about the feel and syncopation that differentiates it from son along with the rest of the rythm section.

[giortsil]

PENSE QUE LA TIMBA ERA CUBANA

[judalogo21]

Like a classic salsa pattern! Easy

[TheCencerro]

Ademas de ritmo tiene sentimiento eso provoca que sea un buen musico. dentro de ese ritmo hay mucha experiencia mas alla de ser virtuoso.

now this guy did well, great sound, no interuptions, luv it.

This clip isn't from the DVD's that come with the Mel Bay instructional books called the Tomas Cruz Conga Method. There are three books that each come with the dvd. The book has written notations showing how to play each beat, but the book says that watching the dvds and getting a feel for the beats and their sounds is much more important that learning the beats based on the notations in the book. So, they basically say to watch the dvds that come with the books.

To me it sounds like a variation of regular tumbao. Whats the difference?

[dinarvax]

From one conguero to another, gracias, Tomasito!

[oscarchirinos8]

[javiel32]

Vaya consorte, que bien te quedo el video, sabes quien soy, El Yoga y hacia tiempo que no sabia nada de ti, me alegro mucho haberte visto por aqui....ademas estas hecho un loco con el ingles....brother como han pasado el tiempo, me trae todo eso muchos recuerdos de la ENA , con el toro tambien, cuidate brother....

[michelleihts]

Is this a section of his dvd. Anyone no what his 'method' of instruction is? Some teachers use written notation-does he? Been thinking re buying his dvds but concerned about the demonstration being too fast and no notation offered. ie symbols not notes.Thanks

[derbeno]

This is not from the Books and DVD. In the book he uses musical notation and on the DVD he builds up the exercises and rhythms slowly stroke by stroke. Just get it with no hesitation, you will not be disappointed

[michelleihts]

thanks for this-i have been using the DVD instructional for beginners called conga drumming -jorge bermudez to accompany the book/cd -conga drumming-by dworsky and sansby-wish id bought these first. I personally think they are fantastic for beginners -so user friendly.

I have loaned Tomasito's books from library and his teachingmedhod, step by step is very effective and it has helped me a lot. So, anyone who wants to learn some basic things how to play conga, should buy his books :) I highly recommend.

[harbinger320]

mis maestro Tomas

[Batumbata]

Do you take lesson from him?

[perico1235]

hey tomasito exelente el video me gustaria que hicera un video de son montuno gracias.

[MamboySwing]

Tomasito Muchas Gracias por subir este video, ya tengo el vol.II de su libro por fin lo pude conseguir en Rep Dominicana y lo he recomendado a varias personas muy buen trabajo! Gracias esperamos pronto verlo por aca dando una clinica de Congas.!

[africabongo]

muchas gracias tomasito cruz por compartir con nosotros su arte,tengo el vol 3,proximamente vendra un cuarto?

GRACIAAASSS

[richpata]

Cool, Great lesson. Great job

[EJRodriguez58]

Unbelievable, Tomas posts an incredible breakdown of how to play some of these rythms and guys start talking jive, obviously Tomas can play in any situation, and this is a very well thought out lesson, Give Thanks.

[MagUalghairg1916]

This pattern is just for one tiny section of a song nothing more. Basics got nothing to do with it. People learning these things from great players like Tomasito make the mistake of thinking this is a pattern that can be repeated over and over, but it originally was written for one of Paulito's song. It shouldn't be forced to fit into anther already written song but should be used as an inspiration on what can be done.

[Guaguanco11]

Which Paulito song was it written for?

[Jodel27]

quiera agradacerle por subir esta demonstracion... usted toca muy bien, y era muy interesante para mi ver como se toca ritmos cubanos. por favor sique ensenando a la gente del mundo sobre la musica Cubana para que todos gozamos. gracias!

[yoelitoyo]

Vaya tremendo english. Oye esta empingao. Olvidate de los envidiosos que te critican. Un abrazo. Yoel Del Sol. Chequea el mio que hice con Marvin Diz en casa de Martin Cohen en New York. Te vas a reir cantidad

[danmusic22]

hmmmm....its just son....or can be used for latin jazz..isn't it? don't see the timba patterns...sorry

[derbeno]

mmmmm do have an example of what a Timba pattern should be like?

[danmusic22]

i mean, what he is playing is fine, great conguero. but it is just the basic and can be used for almost all styles in son , salsa etc. if u wanna check out the real deep timba-grooves i would recomment to see some charange habanera clips. there is a nice one here also from armadito y su mecanica in a pretty good quality.good luck

[HoneyTigre]

With repect, the point is video is showing a basic Timba pattern as a mini lesson, there is enough virtuoso stuff on utube already. Tomasito is a respected Timba artist having played with Paulito FG, Manolin etc there are vids of him going all out but you cant learn much from that.

[pleomorphia]

well said

[verde29]

I beg to differ. This is not a basic pattern and would be challenging to play to salsa. Yes, there are similarities, but the shifts are what make Timba what it is, and it is not salsa.

Yes, you can get more music from watching another band, but Tomasito is giving us a lesson on Timba. Perhaps this is basic, but it is very sweet.

I took you suggestion and watched some charanga habanera. Great stuff, but you can't "tease out" the drum pattern.
