[JennelleBelle]

i love how egyptians sound when they speak english.

hot enough to make me melt:):)

[pazza7]

i love your drumming and i love your drum in particular!

[AyzieBone]

Can somebody please explain to me what does the 8/10 or 4/8 means? Like what's the meaning of those numbers...?

[Chaswhitaker]

They are the time signature - think of it as - the first no. equals the amount of beats to one measure of the rhythm.

[AyzieBone]

Oh so like 8 is the amount of beats, but what is the second number?? Seconds?

[Chaswhitaker]

Ah - that is where it gets a bit complicated - i will offer that to someone else to try and explain

[AyzieBone]

Ok thanks for your help anyways!

[Lehmann108]

The top number in a time signature indicates the number of beats per measure. The second number indicates what note value gets a whole beat. For example 10/8 means there are 10 beats per measure and every 1/8 note is one beat. But this doesn't mean you only play 1/8 notes. You could play two 1/16 notes or 4 1/32 notes instead of a single 1/8 note. Just as long as it all adds up to 10/8 by the end of the measure.

[Rosazuly7]

@AyzieBone ....is like, the fist number tells you how many "hits" he's gonna give, and the second number tells you how much it's gonna take. for example 12/8 is like....he will give 12 "hits" in 8 seconds.......so, the higher is ther fists number, the faster is the beat..... i dont know if you get me........

[KidVll]

you are amazing....i have a long way to go.

[Lehmann108]

Great player, great personality.

[CaiROMAxum]

my two egyptian teacher didn't teach me the WAHDA KIBIRA as a 4/4 rithm. they call yours only "wahda" 4/4. the WAHDA KIBIRA is a rithm of 8/4 (dum rakatakatak raka tatakka DUM DUM TAK)

[Chaswhitaker]

I agree completely Whada is 4/4 and Whada Kebira is 8/4 - thanks for pointing that out

[CaiROMAxum]

my pleasure! i reccomand your videos in my favourites and to my students as well! i think everybody should be greatful for your wonderful material.

with my point i just wanted to help you and make the already great job as perfect.

respect

[bonkopercusion]

[FerDan87]

Where I can find such a drum? (the black skin one)

Is it possible to contact Mansour?

[Chaswhitaker]

Sorry I can't help you there.

[brankflank]

that's great thanks! maybe next time try recording a bit more close up and in front of the head...just a suggestion.

[roma770]

wtf does he say at 2:55

[Chaswhitaker]

Sorry - I'm not sure

[GHosmann]

Masmoudi - when in class...

[fucti]

incredible

[FerDan87]

A nice tabla player with a nice and friendly personality! Besides the darbukas are amazing sounding! Very well done!

[yannis13]

I understand better "B'hari" as a 8 beat rhythm (3-2-3).

[iggytse]

B'HARI must also be Nawari which is one of the rhythms the Lebanese use for Debke dance.

[dabooka99]

Pretty cool. Looks like some Hammouda style technique there. I wonder if Mansour studied with him?
