  • What the hell is wrong with expertvillage?

    they put up so much crappy drum-instructionals with mediocre players who, in the best case, just bang passionless and expressionless on a pattern, or often even teach incorrect playing.

    is this a joke i dont get?

  • expertvillage is just a massive joke.

    by the way....THIS IS NOT SAMBA ITS BOSSANOVA. Do you know the difference??

    "expert"village??.....what a joke.

  • @HitmeFlo Please explain why anything is wrong with this video. Be specific and don't be an asshole just because everyone else is.

  • u have a wrong bit on ur left hand.

  • The bass drum pattern can be used for bossa nova AND samba. However, the clave he is using is the Son Clave used in Afro-Cuban music...it is not the bossa nova clave he's trying to emulate.

    It is NOT samba, however...and there are various types of samba, partido alto...batucada samba, jazz-style samba, etc.

  • I think it helps when it isn't directed toward passionate playing.. thats for the other person to feel for them self..

    Weather this guy CAN or CAN'T play passionately he had it broken down enough for a beginner to pay close attention to.

  • I've heard Homeless Bucket Drummers that have more Groove than Expert Village Guys!

  • Its not even bossa I think, well at least He is playing on the snare the clave patern and well the clave on the bossa nova is a bit different the last beat is not in where it should be

  • You can play blue bossa in top of what he is playing! Well, i can..

  • This is a Bossa Nova, not a Samba!

  • @sexyangel810 ya dude ur completely right. and even with alll that he isnt even playing the snare sticking right for basic bosaanova. this guy has nooooooo idea what hes talking about

  • sounds like bosanova.
