Great sound. I wish this rhythm could be shown either on a slow motion or break it in section, so people that want to start learning can get it easier.
I learned a different way of playing Guanguanco, but the way you are teaching it is really good. Your Guanguanco 2:15 is a good example. Mad Respect. Much love :)
i really enjoyed this, there is a big difference between holding a simple beat correctly and going all fancy and complicated without holding a perfect beat.
doesnt matter how fancy you get if you cant hold a perfect beat then forget it
How do you uses the clave rumba in guaguacó habanero o matancero?. You may to know that. If you going to teach or learn something about rumba and afro cuban rhythim, you must begin to understand the clave positions in those contexts. This form of guaguanco without clave and voices background make not sense.
@drowe77 Again sorry, I don't know where they are tuned to. To help some students who come here, I made this movie. Thinking back of it I was to careless with choosing the conga's for the demo. I just grabbed what was in the room. One is even a quinto with a plastic head on it. In retrospect, better tuning would have done more justice to the beautiful melody of the Guaguanco. The movie was and is just intended to help understand how the guaguanco melody and the rumba clave fit together.
Re: being tuned too high. I agree...they are too high. It's hard to tell but it appears that the drum in front of him may have a fiberglass head....not sure about the one he's using as a tumba. I find that the fiber skins have a "tinny" higher sound the moment they are tuned even slightly high. Either way, his tumbao is nice. The tuning could be his preference. But if someone was playing quinto licks they would have to be off the charts high, for distinction from his other drums.
Different players choose whatever setup they likebut the vast majority will have a conga/tumba combination which is a standard setup. Some will choose quinto/conga but this is less common. i like the conga/tumba or 11 3/4 and 12 1/2 inch congas. The ones used in this video are 11 inch and 11 3/4 in which is a less common setup. Usually the 11 (quinto) is used for quintieando in a rumba or soloing if you will in a rumba.
your videos are great...what sizes are the ones in this video? What would you suggest for someone starting out in terms of entry level congas? Are Meinl Headliner series good?
It is the quinto and a conga from LP, I'am not sure about the actual size in inches. I can't really help you with good advice when chosing a set of conga's. I think I would try to find a shop for theit advice, trust my own intuïtive opinion and listen to my budget and then try to find the best balance between those three inputs, when choosing a set. Succes.
Thank you very much for this teaching. I found it quite easy to undersrtand ,even though practising it took me weeks. Anyway my Netherlands is much better now. Trank you so much!
Thank you for the nice words. We share our love for percussion and the interest of discovering the wealth that can be found in ( the music of ) other cultures. That's great. Thank you.

the standard begginner set is usually 10'' and 11''. However usually professional congas usually start at 11'' and go up...But this doesn't really mean anything because professionals can use all the size congas..that's why they have names like re-quinto, quinto, conga, tumba, super tumba..there are various sizes.
Intro is a from Djembe rhythm or call.

What are your drums tuned to? C and G? E and G? Your drums sound very high in pitch which is also nice.
