[Ulmdorgr]

I could play way better than this, and I don't know how nor give a fuck about learning.

[marc5610]

you got to be kidding me  take this video off what a joke!

[shaolinkungfu666]

he called his quinto the "tenor drum." and he goes off time with a straight face... brilliant.

[GodHjort]

Dude... how about learning the instrument before teaching other newbies to play it in a sick and wrong way??

[kentaguchi]

Everyone shut up !! he is an expert !!! We gotta learn from him...

[ranmas2004]

[Geodemusic]

Ok, it's called Tumbao mate and you DON'T play it like that!.... Go get some lessons yourself instead of teaching people wrong....

[iblebible00]

Never reproduce

[elcesar]

jjajajajjaa !!! this is a joke right?

[SAHBfan]

Forget this, but...

There is one guy on expert village who is very good at congas. Unfortunately you can't tell from the title and they are all under 'expertvillage'.

If you find an oldish guy with a lot of books and shelves behind him, a flowery short sleeved shirt and a hat with no peak - give him a go, he's good.

[MagicAccent]

@SAHBfan

You mean this guy?

watch?v=HRcCQ-Wgb_8&feature=re­lmfu

[SAHBfan]

@MagicAccent

OMG!

No, no, NO! Defintaely NOT that guy!

[MagicAccent]

@SAHBfan

Aw, I guess it was too much to hope for.. Because, according to him im already an expert conga player.

[vjbaros]

@SAHBfan His name is Johnny Conga! one of the best old school congeros and teacher's out there!

[PingaloBill]

How to NOT play the Conga...

[mrdaym]

I love these parodies.

[MrKdnas]

This guy is my hero, it's just like the "shreds" parody video series but actually meant to be serious. At least Expert Village is a good entertainment source to compensate its complete lack of practical use haha

[ooOjairoOoo]

poor guy :D

[berkleeStudent]

this is all wrong!!!!

[MickeyFluter]

I love this guy

[TheJoeblair]

that was one piece of shit though. for beginners cool but.... no.

[boomertee]

HAHAHA U really thinking this is conga playing? OH man. funny.

[MrNoelJMIS]

I'm surprised the cameraman is not dropping the camera or at least shaking violently with laughter. Maybe he just has his iPod on and is ignoring this...

[LiamusShakirus]

hahahahahaha this is so wrong and terrible. 1:00 i almost died laughing

[josealberto06]

chupala!

[AQUIPARAVIDEOS]

TOTAL IDIOT

[heloe910]

jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja­jajajajaja que buen sketch jajajajajajajajajajajaja

[drumdr101]

Really? I mean...Honestly. Someone is going to bleed you out.

[fuzzyone100]

this Has to be a joke! LOL

[lieberat]

I play the Bongos, but even then I recognised what a crap this guy is ... sorry... but his technic was weak, the congas themselves don't look 20 bucks worth !

[diavlosuelto]

Do not follow anything this ass-wipe is showing. It's complete fabricated nonsense.

[crysisgamer81]

that's the same guy who "teached" how to play a hip hop beat on a drum set.. it's like a village idiot tries to teach you some beats he came up with as he was waiting for the bus..

[manosdecallo]

Dime donde te puedo ver para partirte la cara de maricon de mierda que tienes

[TheEmph]

This guy gets a kick out of being a complete nobhead!!!

[waltercito47]

Was it satire?

[davelewitt]

priceless

[xcacanalera507pty]

why do some people think they can fool the rest of us?

[olds1978]

@paulolivares21 watch expertvillage, he do it right!

[BonhamWorshiper]

So you don't mute for an open tone?

Thank you so much, I couldn't figure that out!

[Kalul0]

" but it " buumm , papamm " LMAO!

[josealberto06]

APESTAS!!! 

[lipzz100]

You have no idea what you are doing....Please stop embarrasing yourself...You need serious help...Who told you that you were a musician? You have the IQ of a belt!!! You should be smacked in the mouth just for pretending that you can play at all!!! People with no hands, in an insane asylum, have more rhythm than you will ever have...Take this pathetic attempt of teaching off of the internet...You are a complete retard...

[atflanagan2010]

LOL at 54 seconds..."If you hit it on 1, you sound square"

Uh, dude, you sound square and can't groove, at all.

[akamarutv]

any friggin person with rhythm could play this crap....and how does this show you how? he just played it!

[nicopercutin]

HE-MAN PLAYING DRUMMS XD

YOU'RE AWFUL MAN!!!

[Romans10Verse9]

Hahahaha "If you hit it on one it just kinda sounds square"

LIKE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'RE DOING SOUNDS ANYTHING BUT SQUARE!

[fixinhondas]

Did you learn that at a deadshow parking lot?

[d0minirican]

I always pull this video up if I want laugh my ass off

[EdgardQuintero]

[eduparis30]

[tumbao101]

This is a culo trying to play congas....congas you culo..Translation Culo (spanish) ASS!!( in english) On 1,ana 2,ana 3 Culo!!!

[Balongo63]

[salsoso1]

Retire with dignity.....

[Balongo63]

THIS MORON CAN'T EVEN PLAY WITH HIS NUTS!

[grindalokkur]

You obviously should have checked Youtube.com out a little more before posting this (shit). Im sorry... With all due respect here as well - you suck :-). You arent grasping ONE BIT of how to play the Congas.

[madchops82]

You asshole. 

[odua88]

This is an insult to all of us who have put in the time to actually learn how to play this instrument. Too bad there is no quality control on You Tube. This is Wrong !!!

[tpviva]

@odua88 No pues entonces tocara mucho...

[musicalman1995]

and and? that doesn't exist!

[althero]

Are you inbred?

[rokdrumm]

You'll likely learn more from just watching Giovanni Hidalgo play than listening to this moron talk.

[CHARRRLII14]

Please tune your conga and wow i noticed you got lost when you tried to do a filling

[pokerbone]

he must get alot of gigs from this

[pokerbone]

This shit cracks me up! I can't get enough!!

[ltorr58]

[maickpro]

[fishbonegaga]

expertvillage is a joke!!!I think it was first time this guy play conga...All the videos of this channel sucks,please don't listen to them,they are ignorants!

[farangI23]

[wuszgooodma]

i like what he does with his index finger from 0:14-0:25 (: thats skill.

[ElectroNongo]

Could this video not just be removed? It would be better for everyone.

[NegroPijon]

[drummergirldavis]

[chichipoya]

[firstcircle04]

This is a joke right? No seriously it is right? This has got to be some type of practical joke.

[psikussoundz31]

Gros naze !

[JonnyRattatat]

hahaha wow

[ancesol]

This should be removed before someone hurts themselves!! STFU!

[mexijapones]

hey man! your conga is out of tune!!! and you are really unexperienced, take the time to learn before you teach. a teacher can't be a teacher if he has not been a student yet.

[SuperJechuy]

ese wey ni sabe...esta todo wey...no le hagan caso

[YourGovtLies]

this guy blows.... is he drunk?

[mrzipmann]

ridicule

[youenjoy00myself]

like said above, if you are just starting, do NOT listen to this video. I'm no expert but I talked to my teacher and this is totally not the correct technique or terminology. big dissapointment

[jimmgon]

Only creative thing those hands can do is to wipe your ASS

[williamcastellanos1]

me cago en su madre

[williamcastellanos1]

me cago en su madre

[percuhg]

Perdón...tendrías que ir con algún profe que te enseñe, aunque sea los principales golpes para la conga! tendrías que considerar en sacar este video, estarías mal acostumbrando a gente que recién empieza, es una falta de respeto.

[drumwraith]

Damn....hopefully, he won't make an instructional video of himself banging on that keyboard behind him too.

[trueuno1]

what??????????

[panchichichito]

que se dedique a otra cosa.......

[OneDrumBum]

If you want a lesson and are a begginer, please DO NOT WATCH THIS. The instrument is not tuned and He's not even striking the the drum properly along with wrong terminology.

Crazy! I'll never again look to expert village for expert advice.

[PlanetBongoSan]

i cant believe this crap is still up on here. watch this guy's conga videos if you need lessons in how to make a fool of yourself pretending to be an expert at something you don't know the first thing about. if you want to learn congas look elsewhere. REMOVE THE VIDEOS RYAN FFS

[agueybana79]

TENOR drum? Quinto! QUINTO!

And you need to tune that baby a lot higher than that.

[33timba]

this guys have to have some mental problem for sure

[ufologo22]

Don't be so hard on the guy, This is an EXCELENT video...

It's just filed under the wrong category ....should be under COMEDY. hahahahaha

[binskiboi]

LOL

[emiliorav39]

i just bought my congas and have never played but i am better than this ass wipe.

[dericosuave007]

thank you for the entertainment , please make more videos

[jesusmarziano]

everytime i see this video i think im a genius at congas hahahahhahahahha..

[soulriver888]

worst EVER

[funkytradition]

Maybe you know some other instruments, but your conga approach & tones are very sloppy - almost like a drunken sailor.Suck it up and find an authentic source or teacher.

[rert2]

he its stupid not know about the conga

[piterpiola]

good sound men!!!! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJ

[agrigorulez]

Haahahah

I just got boost of uniq expirience

[caedocha]

OMG, hahahaha this is hilarious!!!

[TOOFUNKYYY]

Truly, an expert at the art of conga playing! Your mix of amazing technique and Latin vocabulary makes you an expert of your craft. Well done, you virgin looking douche bag!

Honestly, expert village is a joke.

[DjYegua]

As pathetic as the rest of "expert" village lessons. Once again, 1 star because there's no 0 stars option.

[scsteeldrums]

Please remove this man from your channel. He is not an "expert." He is not even competent. This is the most pathetic excuse for conga playing i've ever seen. Anybody with 5 minutes of learning how to play this instrument can do a finer job.

[Jonnyfaster]

... TENOR drum?

Dude, please read up on your topic...

[Jonnyfaster]

Does anybody else hate the way youtube has become the commercial channel?

[salsoso1]

Not even the girls play like that, look at Sheila E. and the one that plays at he Jay Leno show and others, my Godson is 2 years old and he plays better than MR. COONGA and he haven't got a single lesson yet.
