How to Play Your First Rhythm on the Bongos--A Lesson for Beginners

This is the first rhythm taught in the DVD "Bongo Grooves for Beginners" from Alan Dworsky, the award-winning author of "Conga Drumming." Designed for the first-time hand drummer, this non-traditional approach teaches fun, funky grooves--including The Habanera, Calypso, Tumbao, Bombo, and the Backbeat Groove-- that fit with all kinds of music. The video features clear, step-by-step instruction, techniques that are easy on your hands, play-along tracks, a PDF file with charts of all the patterns, tips on tuning and how to hold the bongos, and examples of how to use the grooves to play along with recorded music or jam with your friends. It's available at www.dancinghands.com.

Great tutorial. I love how you focused more on the 'feel' than just saying "tap here, here and here". Feel is so much more important.
