Great lessons, great videos. I like that you show it real time then slow. A lot of videos say 'lesson' but they're really just guys showing off. Keep it up Dave. I'll be watchin...
Cool! So you are basically doing a one-hand tumbao with the right hand with a left-hand drag double accent between each beat of the tumbao, making each beat of the tumbao a TRIP-a-let, where the TRIP is the right hand and the "-a-let" is the left hand drag double. At least that is what I think I am seeing and hearing. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm going to try to do it slow??? when....it was all fast like you are playing at a band..........and the angle of the camera is hard to see what you are doing..
I practice with headphones on even when I don't have music or a click going through them. They cancel out some of the highs and I can hear the tones better......not to mention my hearing is not the best after years of drumming.....so I try to wear ear protection on gigs also. I can hear the drums fine, they are not noise canceling headphones...just some decent sony model so the sound of the conga just comes through a little softer but plenty loud.
hey this is cool!!! lol =)

I've never seen or heard that tumbao exercise/rhythm before. Talk about thinking outside the box--that was great!

That's it man, the left had is just doing a Heel-Toe and the right making the tumbao notes. If I get a chance I will post another slower version

This is tougher than nails to actually do. Awesome to be able to run it at the speed you do!
