I loved this!

Of course - but only once the Segunda has been learned to a certain level - you cannot play Primero until you have perfected the Segunda beat, as when you play the Primero you must stay in timing with the Segunda. Obviously Primero is much more challenging, as the counter rhythms are very fast, and ongoing improvisation is at the heart of primero playing

[warasadrumschool]

Yes they arew solid drums hollowed out from a log

The drums have deer skin. They are singing in Garifuna people who originate from St Vincent and settled the Caribbean coasts of Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Punta is a Garifuna rhythm popular in all the countries where Garifuna people live. Drummers play the punta rhythm slightly in the different countries but it is all punta. The drums are heavy and have one edge resting on the ground. These ones are one inch thick mahogany.

Many Thanks for sharing, I watched all the videos.

Do the drums have goat skin?

What language are you singing in?

Also, are they made form hollowed out log, if so which tree?

Is this Punta the same as Honduras?

The big drum looks quite light in weight for you to support it between your thighs.
