How to NOT play Congas or Drums!- Moises Colon

[prpapito3000]

@Fleasfleas2 you make a valid point...but I NEVER said that I NEED a certain style of music to be spiritually moved. But lets be honest, music is a powerful tool and is some peoples connection to God. After all music is simply word put to rhythm, so in essence it is preaching the gospel...

[prpapito3000]

@Fleasfleas2 the point is that all music is from God, and like I stated before the music that you are referring to as "holy" at one point in time had its root in the contemporary society of the time. The difference is that now to us its "old" and therefore we dont tend to like it in society, and that makes some christians think that it makes it that much more holy but it really doesnt. I personally get spiritually moved through R&B style praise and worship, does that mean its wrong?

[prpapito3000]

@Fleasfleas2 and your argument that hymns are psalms based and not emotionally based proves nothing....if you look at another book Songs of Solomon he wrote things based off his emotion towards God...and not ONLY towards God he even went as far to write love songs, so what does this mean??

[prpapito3000]

@Fleasfleas2 Not only that but the Psalms you reference at one point in time were considered "contemporary" and all made by man to express his love/worship towards God...so who are you to say that a man that is born in the Caribbean cannot express himself the only way he knows how which is through his music...no different then Solomon or David when they did their praise and worship, David played the harp and he had to learn from somewhere right??

[prpapito3000]

@Fleasfleas2 you changing the argument now...First it was about a rhythm, now your referencing lyrics??....ok so then if I apply Psalms based passage to a rhythm does that make it ok? Or is it dependent upon the "type" of rhythm it is...matter fact what is rhythm?...Does it have to include instruments, or if i say it in a different flow (such as rappers, poets, etc do) have I somehow made it that less "holy"??

[prpapito3000]

@Fleasfleas2 Please spare me the lecture...have you even done research on these so called "hymns" that so many consider "sacred" nowadays??? In reality they were adaptations of the contemporary music of that time simply applied to worship God...i.e. what we consider slow praise and worship in todays church, was once considered "ungodly" romantic music in its time.

[Mayra616SP]

As a past music minister, I 2, play various instruments. Even though it was meant as a joke...u should know that it can hurt those that, do play like him...Maybe they do it because there's no one else that can but do it to favor God...You must understand that many people may come across this video and not see it as a joke but see it as a cruel thing 2 do 2 another...especially in a church...sorry if I have offended, but sadly...2 many things go on inside the church that should'nt...God Bless!

[prpapito3000]

Thanks for your input...This is actually my cousin who is a very talented musician and also minister of music, this was not meant as a cruel joke to offend anyone and if it did then I do not see why it would, it was simply us enjoying ourselves in God's Sanctuary...I joke around with him all the time and its amongst family...But thanks again and God bless

[rojopercussion]

[TheMoominPappa]

[kematusrulos]

the hand positions are not the correct ones...

[ac7dcroxmys0x]

Some people play lefty.

[dedios03]

Hey I have seen this guy, where are you guys from?

[prpapito3000]

well its possible that you may have seen us in either VA, NY, or Florida

[dedios03]

"This is a prime example of why those who sing or play acoustic instruments should stay AWAY from percussion period!...lol, check out his drum solo, lmbo!...Hope you enjoy, and please"

Are you for real thats not true at all I play guitar bass piano and trumpet and after starting to play percussion it is a lot easier than playing note instruments because percussion instruments are acustic.

[Elli21486]

I agree with you, percussion instruments are acoustic instruments. However, percussion instruments are called rhythmic instruments while the other instruments, like piano, bass, guitar, horns, etc. are considered melodic instruments. Some people may find that playing the rhythm is easier than playing the melody and it is true to a point. Most of the time, however, a person who can keep up with a melodic instrument can't keep up with a rhythmic instrument and vice versa.

[dedios03]

Hold up I didnt say that right ,melodic instruments can also be acustic,what I meant was that percusion instruments are more rythm than anything else if you can learn a basic rythm you are set for a song even if that means being boring

[MANUELPR50]

Papa dedicate a tocar mejor el bass y deja la congas a los congeros, mejor siga alabando pero no toque conga.deja la percusion please.

[dedios03]

Que siga que todo se puede en la vida.

[kematusrulos]

esoes verdad pero el hombre ia casi no tiene arreglo..

[dedios03]

ha ha ha thats true though

[clobclark]

I think all of you are faggots.

[adrummer469]

Conga player is good, guy on piano is shit.

[eramos69]

yo, this kid is off the hizzoooooo! I bet he invented the art of playing the congas!

[kattynfierce]

That's f**ked up who ever left this video! What a cheap way of getting a thrill and hell .. the guy on the keyboard blows too so I don't know why he's making uglier faces than the one he already has! Rude rude rude!

[prpapito3000]

lol, you need to calm down...If you knew anything then you would know that this was a joke from the beginning and in no way was meant to hurt anyones feelings, so thanks for trying to be the world police but it definitely was not needed...

[sdphotos]

WoW , This actually happened to me before, I play the guitar primarily and can play the drums fairly well, Our drummer got tired and asked me to stop playing the guitar and play the drums. Ok cool my fingers were about to fall off.. Well I killed the whole song/mood... I couldn't feel the song as my hands wanted to play the guitar chops. Pastor looks over @ me and well u get the point..lol Maybe he was still playing the congas in his head?

[Elguapopr]

yo, he plays the congas pretty good, but when it comes to the part of the drums, then it changes the story! lol

[thirlestanelodge2]

I cant; abide snobs.

[thecheney]

thank you!

those who can't play a lick, hate.

[Joyluv310]

yo yo, stop the press that congero is off the chain!!! If you could just multiply him x 3 you could get rid off the other chump playing the piano. that dude looks like a fake john travolta.

[prpapito3000]

haha...love is blind i tell u, love is blind (shakes head)

[sugardaddygio]

why u say how not to play congas? he sounds good?

[mclacruz7]

that dude is all that and a bag of melons!

[prpapito3000]

lol, yea you rite son!...look at all the good comments u got!

[JazzyJez]

I don't get the point to all this, i mess around with the bongos, congas and this guy sounds ok. Can you elaborate on what exactly do you mean what NOT to do.

[gossscott]

lol he looks tired

[udawg69]

The part I found the amusing when he was trying to play congas...that he was tuning the conga like that was gonna help...LOL

[prpapito3000]

haha...the craziest part is that he wasnt even tuning it, he was hittin it on tha side with the wrench like if that was somethin that would sound good! lol

[udawg69]

Your right....still funny

[DragonPerucho]

pregunto algo desde mi punto de vista de neofito : ¿por que dicen que asi NO se deberia tocar? Al parecer suena bien todo , o hay algo que un avanzado ve ahi que esta mal?  Por favor una respuesta ya que soy un mero principiante.

[prpapito3000]

eso es en referencia a la percusion...

[Lashortiii]

it doesn't sound bad lol but keep it up!!!

God bless YA!

[Mysteriouskia]

wow i cant play the drums but i can definitely do better lol....God bless you guys

[bigbone627]

DUDE that MOTIF is INSANE i want one so badly ur pianist must do some major damage during the service with that piano love those salsa and merenge progression

[prpapito3000]

lol...yea thats my brother, and he loves it too!

[bongomanfromdalou]

As a conguero who sings in his church's guitar group, I see and hear a lot that's totally wrong, IMHO! (and LOL!)

The conguero/drummer sounded timid on the congas and totally lost on the set! There was no mike at all on the congas, and while the keyboard was tasty, it was way too loud! No balance at all between the keyboard and the drums...

Of course you did that to make a point! We can have fun praising the Lord with percussion in church, but we must take our mission seriously...

[prpapito3000]

Of course...this was pretty much a big joke!...It wasn't trying to show anything but how NOT to play, lol...Besides the piano being good everything else was funny

[firehandszarb]

the piano player is not interacting with the percusion at all, making things very static, lacking energy. Quite draining and frustrating to listen to.

[prpapito3000]

It wasn't meant to be anything serious...but ok, thanks for your input. Check out "Ne-yo So sick tropical version" and tell me if you still feel the same way about mah brother playing the piano

[firehandszarb]

Had a look at it, enjoyed it immensely.

[prpapito3000]

Thank you!

[JUNES05]

sum slaps were ok but other then that i hardly heard the congas and theres only 1 other instrument playing lol wow

[prpapito3000]

lol...thats horrible!

[fresh2def77]

hahahaha! yo im diggin that piano though!

[prpapito3000]

lol...yea thas mah bro, we had to put something good in order to cover up that garbage!

[silvanor22]

Hi! That was awsome, Just kidding, where did you get that clown on the congas and drums. He probably plays his moms kitchen pots and pans and cookware, HA HA

[prpapito3000]

haha...your rite! And its mah cousin acting as dumb as can be, hes always been a clown!..lol

[prpapito3000]

What a CLOWN! ! ! HAHA
