Using a Metronome and Sheet Music is good. Using a Brazillian Surdo pattern in a lesson called Rumba Clave Beats is just plain misleading. Why does he keep looking at the sheet music when he is playing the same thing over and over? Surely he can remember what the clave sounds like!!! Anyway nice try.
@DicksonRichie I do that with my grade. I can play it entirely off by heart, but I'd rather ensure minimum amount of mistakes than seeing exactly where my stick lands. So I play a bit scrappy, but I make fewer mistakes :D
Of course, you are correct. Every culture has its roots in music; it's how we communicate who we are. I know it can be offensive to some when their national language is misinterpreted or misunderstood. I also feel that language is something that needs to be taught and used so it is never forgotten. That is why I appreciate the lesson. But I also appreciate what you are saying: you want it done right and it the context of the culture that gave birth to it. That's always the tricky part!
Honestly I don't get why there's always someone that has to be the latin groove police officer. He plays brasillian over the rumba because it sounds great and it's easy to recognize the pattern. On top of everything he is able to teach a lesson in 4 minutes that has clear content and it easy to follow. Why not compliment him instead of criticising him?
@TheBartekc "latin" music is extremely complex. American drummers can play styles like funk, rock, blues and jazz very well, but they are usually mediocre when it comes to stuff like salsa and bossa nova. That happens because most of them underestimate "latin" music, and as long as you underestimate something, you wont be able to play it correctly. Samba and salsa are two completely different styles of music, and when you mix them up in one groove it just doesn't sound right to a latino guy.

@1:50 you played the snare hit late by like 40ms. This is not excusable!

LOL at the link in the description. I already play drums entirely by ear. Cobus is not special.
