zack , many thanks , for a long time now i have been tryin to break down and learn a section from greg bissonettes solo from the b rich concert, a little latin pattern that drove me nuts , during his solo , couldnt quite grasp it , or was playin it wrong , UNTIL NOW !!!! re cascara patter h/h/ , rumba clave , two bow foot , at last now i can master it once again thank you , simon , uk :)
This is the first youtube video ever where I actually took out a notepad and started writing down what you where saying and the patterns, for future reference. Brilliant lesson bro.
REALLY NICE VIDEO, I AM PLANNING ON DOING A DRUMMING VIDEO, TEACHING 4 OR 5 LATIN FUNK GROOVES, REALLY HELPFUL AND FUN TO DO.. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL...
One time I went to this party and me and a bunch of friends passed out in a tub and ended up in random places when we woke up. I happened to wake up in the room that this man was in while he was recording this. I was taped to the ceiling as you can see he even looks at me at 4:14. Crazy night.
he doesn't need to move his leg, he has enough control with his foot to get the power he needs. you don't really need to ever move your leg for much when your playing. just develop the control.once you don't need to use more limb to play, esp. with your right bottom limb, you've got control

@jumpthegun56 ... Well Dude, it's called proper technique and conservation of movement. Playing drums should not be a workout at the gym. Zack Albetta is not only an excellent drummer, his knowledge of Latin rhythms far exceeds that of most Latin musicians. Not only can he do it well and teach it well, he knows why it's being done and can explain the roots of the technique. Pay attention and you'll get a genuine education you're not likely to receive outside a university... free!
Really nice video brotha. I'm actually picking up drums again after a one year hiatus and stumbled upon your video. Really impressed with your approach to teaching Afro Cuban rhythms. Being Cuban, i notice alot of other people try to teach these rhythms on youtube and it bothers me how incorrect even the most basic version of a songo or anything else is taught. I'm glad to see you took your time to know your stuff man. Keep on playing and thanks for the lesson.
awesome job man..im sure u had your drums micd up but u may wanna turn up that kick drum a little. i really wanted to hear that but it was mostly overshadowed by the drums especially the ride when u played it. the kick is essential in latin style as are the rest of the limbs but the kick is the meteronome for the groove. thankks again!!
Very good stuff!!! Thank you! I've played congas in an ensemble and latin jazz band and always have a hard time separating afro-cuban and brazilian meter/style in my head. Thanx for clarifying! I am trying to pick up the stix on the kit and play these styles as well. I know the different rhythms played by each person i.e. timbales,cowbell,woodblock,ride,bongos and bass but seeing you put them together while counting really helped me. Awesome vid and yes i will check dougs book and those cymbals
from what i can see, steve gadd is evidence that learning some latin stuff makes every style you play more interesting and original. i've seen him use it in jazz, funk, fusion, you name it he's got the old mozambique in there.
WOW, this is all so much knowledge man. Thanks for the help, cause i just got a cowbell for Christmas so i have been looking for information on Latin drumming techniques and beats. This is probably the best vid i have seen so far for this.
alright....it's official..... i'm way too uncoordinated to ever play drums. that is all.
