Great explanation and demonstration as usual Michael! At 6:29 Maybe it's more clearly said like "not in triplet but in duplet" (as people sometimes get confused when they hear "4" in the context of triplet vs duplet pulses if not clearly stated).
Is exactly what my maestro was teaching me today :D only a few diferences with the tres golpes ;) also he theaches me the reduction for 2 congas :) Great job Michael again, thanks a lot!
Great video! Muchas gracias Michael de Miranda! Where are you from? You knows how to play and teach a lot of instruments man, inclusive timbau from my state, Bahia! Great!! Congratulations! Abrazos from Brazil, Marcos Affonso
Also nice to hear the very old school way of playing the sticks in full "cascara" or "palitos" mode in Duplet pulse. ua-cam.com/video/dW7stEE6yrs/v-deo.html Pablo Mózo on sticks - he also played and taught a way with the Segundo playing in duplets against the Tumba in triplets that's very difficult to hold but offers a tasty 'flam' and lends itself nicely to inspire the Quinto in being free to play in mixing duple and triple as well.
if we count more precisely, the rhythm of columbia clave in 8-count matrix will be 1-2 and 1/3 - 4 and 1/3 - 5 and 2/3-7 It's just mathematics, but am I right in using this method af counting?
8 years later I have a question...Are you using fractions to try to count? It doesn't look like musical language there. Maybe try restating it with another technique that's more recognizable as musical.
It's not 8/8 , it's 12/8 . Then you hit the beats 1,3 , 6,8,10 . But nobody counts it like this musically. You have to feel the beat on 1,4,7,10 , 12 beats, divided in 4 Tripletts.
One beat, and two meters, it is like quantum physics appearing as a rhythm, at first confusing the mind. It is very difficult feeling both meters at the same time! But it creates magic!
You said that clave in columbia has 6/8 rythm. But if I put 1,2,3-1,2,3-1,2,3 rythm in 4-count matrix i will have I(1,2,3)-II(1,2,3)-III(1,2,3)-IV(1,2,3). Clave hits are in 1 and 3 in the 1st bar, 3 in the 2nd bar, 2 in 3rd bar and 1 in 4th bar. Then if I cut 4 counts to 8 counts I will have clave hits at 1-2,5-4,5-5,5-7.. so the difference between columbia clave and guaguanco clave( 1-2,5-4,5-6-7) in the fact that 4th hit of columbia clave is on the 5,5 count instead of 6th count in guaguanco
gerardo barajas hay blancos en todo el mundo que no son cubanos que saben más que el propio cubano hasta de su propia cultura. Yo soy uno, y conozco más que muchos amigos cubanos. Ellos mismos me lo dicen.
@@jackcommonman1381 He does a much better job than most explaining and in good detail. Look at his explanation of Partido Alto - the 16 minute one. At about 7 minutes he explains how most westerners learn it only the "easy" way which is reversed to the actual placement of the 2 bar or 4 beat phrase so the put the melody or chord changes entirely wrong compared to the way Brazilians play and write for the most part the sambas and such. Same thing happens for many westerners who find landing on the down beat to be easier then the syncopated way. Jazz and such is much more interesting because of this influence on being free around the downbeat and using the middle of the phrase as an "anchor" for playing downbeat. Check it out!
I am from Holland. I have visited your beautiful state of Bahia. I have studied in Brazil and Cuba of course!
Abrazos from Holland!!
Thank you so much for your generosity!!! Love you videos.
Thank you Michael.
You're welcome!
I teach congas and djembe too at Quebec Canada and your rythms are very well explaned...Will teach it to my students...Thank you
Great explanation and demonstration as usual Michael!

Brilliant lesson... Excellent showing the clave&cata feel changing from 6/8 to 4/4... THANKYOU!
Very nice. As Always, Michael, you are a true, Maestro. Gracias!
Is exactly what my maestro was teaching me today :D only a few diferences with the tres golpes ;) also he theaches me the reduction for 2 congas :) Great job Michael again, thanks a lot!
Thank you! Have fun with this nice rhythm!
Can you put a tutorial on the Matanzas style of Columbia.
Thanks!! I'm glad you like my video's!!
Waoo great lesson very clear!! I love it!!
I will look into it!
Hi michael! I love your videos! Un abrazo desde México!
Thank you so much! Un abrazo desde Holanda!
Verry good teacher
I hope your students will enjoy the rhythms!
good instructional video!!!

Clave de Rumba in 12/8 is best counted this way, (based off of "1 an a 2 an a 3 an a 4 an a");
"1(an)A(2 an)A(3)AN(a)4(an a)"
lo siento pero si no es cubano y negro no creo q sea bueno jajaja

Verdad, y hay percusionistas que son muy buenos y que no saben enseňar, no tienen pedagogía y tambien no saben hablar en ingles señor Barajas..
So what!! He's a good drummer and teacher
