Very nice execution, technique and breakdown. Thanks for sharing. I'd prefer to think of this as a 12/8 pattern. 1 trip let, 2 trip let, 3 triplet, 4 trip let -- which is why you are able to sing the 12/8 bembe bell pattern along with it, rather than playing it with a waltz feel. In other words, you cycle twice through the pattern. Regarding the paradiddle question below, this is closest to playing one half of the paradiddle diddle, i.e., RLRLRR and repeat with the right hand lead.
"Marcha" pattern? Is this related to the word "Marchando" as in Eddie Palmieri's "Marchando Bien"......... "si lo matar marchando bien" I THINK are the lyrics.....??? He also uses it in "La Llave" in "baila mi rumba que yo no quiero marchando"...... thanks for this enlightenment!! I have to admit I have a HARD time counting 6/8 sometimes....... in this I expected pulse on 1 and 4 (ONE two three FOUR five six), but it was more like (one two THREE four five six)...... at all correct in this?
One World it really is more in 3/4. In this signature that accent is on a downbeat instead of an upbeat and feels more natural. However for practicing purposes it could be good to learn to emphasize on a beat that actually feels wrong. Either way, it feels more natural in 3/4 instead of 6/8
What is the difference in tone quality between a "heal/toe" ( as in the tumbao rhythm) and and hand-drop/fingers drop (March rhythm)? Or are they the same?
It's a conga rhythm because it is a basic pattern found in Cuban conga rhythm done in 6/8 such as rhumba columbia or Bembe (when done on congas instead of bata drums). Paradiddle is not a rhythm per se, but rather a sticking pattern consisting of four even strokes played in the order left-right-left-left or right-left-right-right that is inserted into a rhythm.

Super
YOU CAN DO THIS ON 2 DRUMS . THE TONE TONE YOU DO ON TUMBA OR CONGA . I DO THE MAIN PART ON THE QUINTO AND THE TONE TONE ON THE TUMBA . SOUNDS GOOD !
Lovely excellent

thanks for sharing , i am wiling to buy one conga instrument to learn, please suggest me ( i am from india),
LP, Toca, Meinl, Pearl, and Gon Bops are all global brands that make budget-friendly and professional congas.
Toca synergy wood congas are really well priced and great quality
Where does 6/8 come from? This beat is explained, demonstrated and counted as 3/4 and clearly has a duple feel instead of two groups of 3.
I know i'm super late, but its because you can play it in songs that are in 6/8
This pattern is often used in Afro cuban bembé , which is generally felt in 6/8 or 12/8...

Sounds like they are the same. Check out this video for the different conga sounds explained ua-cam.com/video/qO0S5DYlLb8/v-deo.html

Əhsən!!!
You wouldn't happen to do this on bongos?
Basically, this is a paradiddle...
how come this is a "conga rythm"?
