Thank you for your awesome tuition! It was really helpful!!

[ninabril1]

I love your dog jejeje



[48jeanmarie]

I bought a 12" LP pandeiro and man, it's way out to heavy. I would go for the lightest one, believe me.

[arlingtonguy54]

@48jeanmarie Yea I have a 12" also. I only use if for juggling and spinning. Even some 10" are too heavy. I always look for a very lightweight pandeiro for playing.  But, the 12" will build up your strenght!

[gleventhal]

@48jeanmarie Did you buy the stanton moore pandeiro? that is not a normal pandeiro, it was designed to be played in a drum set with a stick.

[salilg09]

muito obrigado meu camarada. My brazilian friend gifted me a pandeiro and I promised him I'd learn it. Thank you for starting me off with this video.

[time0503]

[RonBurgundy609]

:14 thats what she said.

[AntaresInScorpius]

muito bom.

[lagarcia15]

Adorei o vídeo. Obrigada :)

[enzocrazydointer]

Dizem que e bom ddar duas vezes com o dedao depois de dar um tapa '



[dearsachima]

Thanks for the clear instructions! The sound of it is so charming... Now I'm thinking about getting one pandeiro and try practicing. :)

[KingTheGabriel]

o som desse pandeiro é diferente do meu, o meu é mais aberto

[enzocrazydointer]

@KingTheGabriel Cara isso e questao de afinaçao se vc soltar mais o couro ele vai ficar mais grave '

O mais grave e o mais correto que eu saiba, mas pra mim isso nao interessa tanto o que importa e saber tocar.

[arlingtonguy54]

There are different styles of playing. In this video I use the old style of playing which only twists the pandeiro when you want the jingles to sound. That gives you the swing in samba. I play the tones with my thumb only and don't rotate when I want a slap. In the more modern style, the pandeiro is twisted back and forth constantly but then you have to use your thumb and forefinger for the tones. The slaps can come anywhere whether rotating toward or away from you. Hope that helps.

[gleventhal]

Please explain to me, is the pandeiro rotated in the holding hand while played or held steady while it is struck by the non holding hand? I dont understand if it is twisted while struck because it seems to me that the drum head would be moving away from you as you attempt to slap it with the heel or fingers or open thumb at least some of the time. Please explain if it is twisted by the holding hand like a tambourine and if so, how it is still possible to strike it as it twists away.

[alitoalito]

muito bom. abraço desde roma

0:15 that's what she said! sorry...

[ctmiller528]

What kind of pandeiro are playing exactly?? i believe i am about to purchase the same one, and i want to know if this is it

[arlingtonguy54]

@ctmiller528 This one is a Contemporanea wood frame with real skin head.

[dnickason1]

Very helpful. I ordered a LP Pandeiro 10 inch last night. I also own 3 cuica's and a tamborim. I'm a beginner at all of them. Living in Upstate New York, your video is very helpful. It's the only way I would have any idea how to play the instrument. Your close up approach to shooting the video is a good one indeed.

[arlingtonguy54]

@dnickason1 Thanks for your comment. You have picked some of the more challenging Brazilian instruments to learn, but keep at it, watching videos and getting lessons when available and you can become proficient at them. I am only a beginner at tamborim and cannot play cuica to save my life. Good luck and good playing.

[byLivio]

Best pandeiro lesson on youtube.

[lukasvg25]

very good initiative, I think the wonderful interaction between cultures, but it seems like a drum not a pandeiro.

failure to train a little.

sorry my bad english.

[TartarugaOdessa]

good dog! Very nice :)

also it's a good lesson. Thank you

[numanuma20]

It looks like a tambourine!

[kozbatahat]

wow!! thank you very much! really good teaching!

perfect lesson!!!

thanx alot!

[teeei78]

Thx! I already can play the basics, but I didn't really know how to vary. It's great that you explain it :-)

[mauglee16]

That is very cool. Didn't know you can make so many different tones with just pressing one finger on it.

[mefanictic]

left hand should turn the pandeiro with every sixteenth. it is responsible for most of the swing.

watch marcos suzano play it.

[garrettmillerdrums]

@mefanictic Good thing everyone doesn't have to play the same way.

[arlingtonguy54]

@garrettmillerdrums Exactly! Thank you

[arlingtonguy54]

@mefanictic Thanks for your comment. Not everyone plays in the Marcos Suzano style. I learned this old fashioned way of playing and for me it is fine. One thing I don't like about Suzano style is that it becomes to full, too busy. I like the old style of playing better but I realize it is not for everyone. To each his own.

[lucybrand]

@arlingtonguy54 I agree that Marcos Suzano is not at all the be all end all of pandeiro playing, I don't particularly like his style either, though I respect it. However, the left hand motion of the pandeiro is an essential part of the swing, it allows you to accent defferent notes while you play. You can also use your fingertips on your right hand to make low notes as well as your thumb. That will give you more liberty to play with variation. Check out the master Jackson do Pandeiro.

[arlingtonguy54]

@lucybrand I am aware of this style and occasionally use it but always go back to the old style. Why is it that they always have a microphone? I feel you can't get as much power for playing acoustically with other instruments. Even when I use my thumb only for tones I still use the back and forth motion to get the swing, although don't show it in this video. Drumming in general has gotten too busy and that goes for rock, latin and pandiero. More is not necessarily better, it's only more.

[lucybrand]

@arlington I agree about the microphone, it defenately takes away from some of the tamber and tones of the drum, but it does allow for recording possibilities. If you listen to 1970's samba recordings, you can see it's a different "language" than nowadays samba. It's defenately much SIMPLER and STRONG. Since then they've added instruments (like repique de mão for example) and the grooves vary. Listen to Clara Nunes recordings like Tristeza pé no chão and you'll hear it. Simple and strong.

[arlingtonguy54]

@lucybrand Thanks for your insights and comments. I love the old samba recordings and listen to a lot of this. I guess thats why I prefer the older style.

[FredBatala]

Cool, after 12 years of surdo and repinique in a samba-reggae band, I'm about to learn pandeiro with this technic..

Thanks

[orcatheforker]

Why? Do you say not to put your finger in the hole? It seems comfortable to me but I want to do it right.

Very nice lesson. Most useful.

[arlingtonguy54]

@orcatheforker If it does not hurt your finger the I guess it is OK. Thanks for your comment

[ThyMiguez]

@orcatheforker LOL, totally unsual put the finger in the hole. :D Keep practicing! Greetings from Brazil.

[orcatheforker]

Why? Do you say not to put your finger in the hole? It seems good for me but I would like to do it right.

Very nice lesson. Very useful for me.

[GMbass]

Hey thanks - great lesson, nice production. Much appreciated!

[RitmoNo1]

Great breakdown of the rhythm. I'm practicing but have some way to go - for some reason I'm not quite getting it to swing - I keep coming back to this post - THANKS

[arlingtonguy54]

Getting it to swing is the hard part. I'm still working on that after many years of playing.

[ZantaClawz]

quiero un pandeiro!!! me encantó!! :D

[jagacom]

THX MAN!!! great teaching! Ehhhmmm what is the thing that appears on the right bottom of the screen, from 4:14 to 4:22?!!

BYE!

[arlingtonguy54]

Thanks brother. That is my little dog that is always by my side

[harryshand]

amazing, pandeiro is like a one man (or woman) rhythm section

[HaileISela]

nice video... those more complex rhythms are so sweet. dude, you really know how to do some fine music!

[solarfactz]

You should create an instructional DVD. This basic lesson really helped me. Muito Axe

[flats83]

Obrigado =)

[mulj0k]

fantastic.

[glikur]

thanks for this! basics are very important! sorry for speling!

[syphonboa]

Awesome tutorial. Concise. Simple. You really broke it down into its pieces and then showed us the big picture. Thanks for this!

[azajaza]

Great instructions for a complete beginner - it feels real awkward to play pandeiro after guitar!

[Brazokas]

You're cool, congratulations guy..

[Flip825]

só d escutar esse cara tocar a primeira batida,

já dar pra reparar q ele é gringo,

ele toca sem ginga!

parece um trem!

tum,tum,tum,tum

[villereal]

velho é porque ele e só demonstrando pra iniciantes. tem que aprender as coisas mais basico antes de balançar!

desculpe meu portugues!

[Flip825]

eu tava falando do 1,2,3,4 dele

ele faz 1234 1234

mas com ginga é

1,234 1,234

o tempo entre o 1 e o 2 é um pouquinho maior do q o tempo entre o 2,3 e 4

é essa variação q faz aquela batida gostosa

[durante888]

Very good instructions! Muito bom, obrigado!

[bakedbean37]

What a cool instrument.

Nice demonstration too.

It sounds like a complete samba rhythm section.

I can see I need to buy myself yet another musical toy.

[Leegaucho]

Good video! Congratulations, Greetings from Brazil!

[davizuno]

GREAT GREAT GREAT!!! moitas grazas dende Galicia!!!! irmaos do brasil!!!! moito bon!

[kamilkauz]

[ZachRhea2]

0:14 - That's what she said.

[imranino]

can't have been a good night

[zam626]

Very cool!

[lanzinhu92]

fera toka d++++++

fera msm!!!

obs alguem traduz pra ingles

xd=

[eloiusab]

awesome you play too much+++++++

[Aristocat2]

is it usual that when you are a beginner, your lefthand fingertips hurt after a while playing?

[arlingtonguy54]

For many people the hardest part of playing a pandeiro is holding it for any length of time. You will gain strength and learn how to hold it so your fingers don't hurt any more. My first teacher told me to carry my pandeiro around every day, holding it out in front just to gain strength. Now you can also practice the back and forth motion with the new style of playing.

[Aristocat2]

thank you so much!

[epasurr]

thats what she said

[mosqiuter]

haahaha ^

[arlingtonguy54]

it is ten inches. 12" is too heavy to hold for very long and I use more for juggling (spinning)

[argonauta50]

muito bacana!!!!!!

[SkataStar]

super bon! thanks

[nagrom0102]

This is fab! I also love the little dog popping in to the scene!

[Kenga68]

Thanks a lot! It's really helpful!

[sillyilly]

great thanks!

[kaapiovuohi]

Bravo!

[sweavo]

superb video! thank you so much.  I went from complete pandeiro noob to 2:10 then you lost me at 2:20. I will come back again and again to this video until I can do this convincingly! Thanks again.

[arlingtonguy54]

nothing changed, its only faster

[sweavo]

yeah i know.. I just mean I could actually play along until that point... so I need practice. It's a really clear video that I could follow from knowing nothing up until that point where I need to up my game!

[arlingtonguy54]

Good luck! I keep a pandeiro in my office and one in my bedroom and when I have a few minutes of waiting for something I pick it up and practice, every day.

[villereal]

haa, i am just beginning to play, and really wish i could rattle off some pandeiro beats in my office! do you work from home, or are you just the boss?! B)

[arlingtonguy54]

yea, I see clients in my home and have time when no one is around to play. That's the best way to improve, just have it at hand and play when you can. I first learned 10 years ago when I was in Brasil for three months and had plenty of time sitting on the beach in Bahia playing pandeiro. Keep at it and you will improve.

[debyseabra]

ficou massa! valeu

[mankalabeat]

Muchas gracias...Thank you man!...thanks for sharing your musical knowledge!!...

[othaday54]

Thank you SO much for this - I have been looking for a really clear pandeiro lesson on YT. What a great presentation!!

Peace,

Otha

[muthalova]

do not stick your finger in the hole...that's what she said...heh

[arlingtonguy54]

haha - thats the funniest thing I heard all day!

[testolino]

The best pandeiro tutorial on the web !!![2]

This is the only one that really teaches!

thanks man!

[EddyFon]

The best pandeiro tutorial on the web !!!

Watching it several times already.

Thanks !

[Guigatinho2008]

Muito Facil primeiro dia ja cei fazer 1-2-3-4-1

[unclebraddah]

Great instructional video!!!!

[BadlyPlayedPandeiro]

I find dampening with the thumb much more natural and it makes it (for me, anyway) easier to hold the pandeiro for long periods during practice (so thanks for that tip.) Is there any situation where middle finger dampening is more effective or technically desirable? Thanks

[arlingtonguy54]

I agree with you about use of the thumb. I find that the sound is better on skin heads tuned low, using the thumb and better on plastic heads tuned higher with the middle finger.

A tip about holding the pandeiro. Get a small piece of that thin rubber stuff they put under rugs to prevent slip. Use it to keep the pandeiro from slipping in your hand.

[PandeiroGringo]

One of the very best lessons in technique I've seen on YT. Cheers

[trinidrum9]

This guy is a great teacher.I have learnt so much in this one session.BLESSINGS

[theau61]

thanks for this course

[arlingtonguy54]

ten 10" inches is the best size for playing. The bigger ones are used more for juggling. Also I like the wooden (madeira) ones with real animal skin head (pele)

[sacanajero2008]

qual o melhor tamanho para iniciantes???

what is the best size to rookies???

[AlexandreCupez]

Muito bom cara, de todos os videos que achei até agora este é o mis simples e completo...

Valew

[profetagreg]

This guy is a brilliant!!!!

[ee99ee]

[Gusty10000]

Muito bom cara !! Uma boa aula em apenas 5 minutos.

[gabijp1408]

Adorei o cachorrinho!!

Hehe

[igeordie]

Obrigado.

[arlingtonguy54]

de nada

[kazkingpin]

what kind of pandeiro are u using? where can i get it??

[arlingtonguy54]

This is a 10" Contemporanea but I also use O Profissional (sp?) I like a wood frame and a real animal skin (pele). I don't really like the plastic heads or frames. Maybe you can find it on the internet or some big music stores.

[swellbow55]

Super helpful! Thanks!

[jayleeds2006]

Muito Obrigado for this video. It was very helpful. It very clearly illustrates the basics. I know what to do now, it's just a matter of practicing and coordination.
