@texasidiot47 no one has a monopoly on so called technique. "eso es complejo hispano". get over the latino chauvanism, please,give the kid credit. maybe he'll learn tumbao some day,maybe not. who cares,why should we give a shit,let the boy get down in his own way.... pa'lante a como sea..
i think he has a drum set mentality,superimposed on a conga drum skin. part of me wants to say,it's a conga,not a pedal bass drum. then again,he has his own shit goin' on,and who the fuck am i to criticize a nice effort..
@brainsareus Yes, you have made an excellent observation! Erik is a drum-set guy and I think this solo is pretty good for a newbee on conga but what would he sound like if he actually learned the art of this drum?
I am Puerto Rican, and my father was a congero from Villa Palmeras. He taught me how to play. I actually was impressed by how he played for the first time. He's just displaying his natural rythm. Do you think our Caribbean and African ancestors even cared about technique? He's just having fun, people are always complaining, if you can play good for you!
He might not be the best conga player on the internet, but he certainly doesn't suck. What does suck, is the fact that other "musicians / conga drum" players would be so lame as criticize his effort. Although, I guess criticizing others and taking no fault in oneself is pretty much representative of what our nation has become, so I really don't blame the jerks for being being the way they are.
Nonetheless, kudo's to you Erik, and keep on playin!
@jedibull Agreed! I thought it was pretty good for having less than an hour's experience playing that drum. Critics are rarely creative and I always check to see if they have any videos of their own and they hardly ever do.
Them hands was so quick. Just got a pair of conga drums yesterday. I'll be as quick as this man one day, hopefully. Awesome video! Inspiration to a new conga drummer (:
so by downloading a video in youtube you become an expert?
and a great musician? WOW! 85% of the people that play congas in youtube should go to the mountains and play where is no one listening and delete the videos of from youtube and even their own computers. Exposed yourself when knowing how to! the right way...

Hey, man, Erik never played a conga drum before in his life until the day he did this. And where's your video?
