- Video for May 1, 2014
I am posting a video on UA-cam everyday for the entire month of May. The videos will consist of ideas, grooves, fills, etc, that have helped me develop as a drummer at some point along the way. This is something I am doing for fun and I hope you enjoy them as well.
In this video, I demonstrate The Songo linear groove. I divided it into different sections to make is easy for everyone to learn. Most of the time, students learn it in a out 30 mins. Please, dont hesitate to ask any questions you may have in regards to the video.

Excellent instructional demo. Clear, simple, logically broken down; excellent visual, and sound, plus Refreshing lack of “look-at-me-show-off!!”-ish-mess.

Nice pocket man. Always good to hear people that play with a nice pocket. That's what it's all about!
This was the best video I seen lol I accidentally found u thank God
Amazing video man. I'm so glad I found you by accident; I've been struggling with the songo for a while & I just understood it in this 4 minute video. I would really love to see some clave 3/2 2/3 and other Latin stuff implemented

Is there a difference between big L vs little l?
Big “L” is accented left, little “l” is non-accented left
Excelenttttttt..... Thank You ..
Ese songo esta en 4 tiempos o 2/3?
4!
Te agradesco como lo enseñaste lo saque gracias
De nada!
Helpful😀
I've been learning this rhythm in different ways for a while now.
Question: why waste using your right hand to play the pulse on the high hat when you can just use your left foot for that?
Maybe you can play the rumba CLAVE with your other foot
WHERE ARE YOU ? IT'S BEEN SO LONG
❤🎉
I’m dying I can’t get it right nowwwww
Keep tryin’! You got this!
Yo did u go fast at the end
GOOD!!!
right hand hold bad the stick ,even you play great man
Can anyone tell me what R L K ?
R = Right Hand
L = Left Hand
K = Kick/ Bass Drum
Thx!
I got it until the 4th step
กดไลน์ให้
Who can tell me what the "k" at the subtitles means
Kick (bass drum)
This isn't adding up to me. It seems like there an eight note missing after the second KICK. Id try playing it this way:
RLKRLKL(L) RLLKRLKL
1&2&3&4& 1&2&3&4&
Hey Bruno! Its actually a 16th note based linear groove.
1 &uh 2e&uh 3e&uh 4e&uh
R LK RLKL RLLK RLKL
Hope this helps!
Bruno Rodrigues play ti e pa bo ti ta bo pa ti ta ta bo ti pa bo pa .
Bruno Rodrigues r e l k r l k l r l l k r l k l
whats the tempo
+shane campbell Hey Shane! The beginning is around 126bpm and the slow parts were around 64bpm I believe. Hope this helps!
Ye thanks to u I will can really rock the songo
+shane campbell No problem. Enjoy! =]
Why didn't he add feeling to the beat when he was playing it slow
To my understanding, it's for instructional purposes. The video was made to teach, not impress. Sometimes if you make a groove too groovy, it makes it harder to actually learn what's going on, and it's better to stick to the basics. I could be wrong, maybe that wasn't his intention, but still, just an idea!
Whats R L K L K R .....!!!!!!
Right Left Kick Left Kick Right
Thanks Emmanuel
so in total it's
RLKRLKLRLLKRLKL
Yes sir!
+Fernando Lozano thanks bro god bless
+Amilkar escobar Likewise, my friend.
Yes but there is a rest on the e of one. so i would write it
R LKRLKLRLLKRLKL the rest is part of the count. (always)
Glenn Gray it's best to write the e or no one gets it
ehi man!! Look at subdivision.. You play very well but if want to teach something you HAVE to write the subdivision!!!!
This IS NOT "Changuito" Songó at all!??
You're showing dumb asses the WRONG SHIT
