Dude that was sick, shit man i mustve got ripped off on my camera then because it was like 189 and it has way worse sound quality than yours...SHIT!!!! lol, o well, then again i got it in like '03 or '04..Awesome solo though man i want to be able to play that clean.
hey davemeyler, what size are the heads on your LP Giovanni's? im interested in these LP series and not really sure which size would be ideal/what size i should get.
I play two congas and on tumbadora. If you talk to most congueros, salseros...they will tell you the LP quinto is too small for playing salsa. When playing 3 LP drums, it is better to get two congas and a tumbadora and tune them a 4th apart. If you watch giovanni or Raul Rico or any of these guys you will notice they play the conga, not the quinto, as their main drum so they can get a warmer open tone.
Basically you want to work on your heel toe technique on the top of the drum. After time you develop the skill to use this wrist action on the edge of the drum for tones/slaps/etc, getting 2 hits for each drop of your arm, one for the heel movement and again when your hand gets tilted forward in a toe movement. I will try to post a video explanation down the road. To see how it's really done check out giovanni hidalgo or anga on youtube
Thanks - I saved this as a favorite. I've been looking for a slow video/explenation of this - none out thee that I can find. I notice a "pull back" on the second stoke? Gio does the same thing. Thanks again!!
Came a little late on the scene, but made up for it in no time. His ears work as well as his hands, and humbleness accompany his respect for the cast and culture of our Tumbadora heros. Bravo, Dave.
great tones Dave!

Hey delucey, just to be clear if you want to get only 2 drums, get the conga and the tumba from LP vs the quinto and the conga.
