i have a few of their drums too...i really like that they carve them from a solid log. Got mine quite a long time ago before they offered hardware. Not sure how i feel about drilling holes in such nice pieces of wood,however am sure it's more convenient. I have other standard congas with hardware if needed.One thing about Drumskulls is they really take pride in their work and it shows. How do you like the conversion and u remember what they charged for that?....Thanks.
@waveriderz Indeed they are from Drumskulls. I actually just had hardware put on the quinto. It looks really good. I'll have to post some of that as well at some point.
Thank you. I got this version of Mozambique off of an old Kim Atkinson video. I think you can actually find it on youtube now. I've seen Guarepachangeo as well, haven't tried to learn it yet. In contemporary bands its great to switch between guaguanco and mozambique for verse/chorus stuff. That mozambique phrase is so nice and long it gives so much space to the rest of the band no matter what kind of music you put it in.
Your style is good - clean open tones. I was at the NAMM show and Giovanni showed me a NY Style Mozambique (different from yours) and Guarepachangeo-which is the moderno style of rumba. I want to learn yours too.
Thanks for the feedback... I'm not sure what you think is wrong with the tumbao. I played it very slowly and extremely exaggerated because I posted this for a friend in order to show the heel-toe action, but that's the same tumbao I've seen everyone else play, albeit faster. The bembe and mozambique are just a couple versions I learned and I'm sure there are weaknesses there as well.
