Conga Practice Tumbao Variations

A short video of me practicing. The main point of this video is to draw constructive critisim about my playing. I forget the name of the first rhythm I am trying to play. The notation would be:

H-T-S-T-H-T O-O

H-T-S-o-o-H-T-S

Also I play some Tumbao in the middle of the video. ANd end with a rhythm that I use to help me distinguish all of my tones and to work on my open slaps. Thanks for any advice.

Brother your conga is tuned way too high. Rudy Quesada has excellent videos here that teach you good technique. It's a good starting point. watch some of his videos and do some of the exercises and it will help you a lot. Also another gentleman Nate Torres i believe has good beginners videos here. Keep practicing it will come.

Thanks for the advice.  I have had the same comment arise from the congaplace forum. I have detuned that drum- which is actually a quinto. And I am waiting for all new lugs and heads to come in and I am going to change heads and put new lugs all the way around. Hopefully this will help the sound quality, and later the technique will follow. Cheers.
