I went through 24 hours of youtube searching of many instructional videos on this issue, and after seeing a bunch of latin american fine percussionists that asume everybody has LP blood like them, is funny but pretty useful that a european guy ( correct me if wrong ) finally gives me this incredibly well made tutorial ! As a famous mexican singer used to say : muy agradecido,muy agradecido y muy agradecido ! That´s thank you three times !!!
I love salsa music. My favorite is the timbales so my hubby bought me my own set. Your videos are very instructional. Easy to follow please keep doing them. Thank you so much
I am glad that this video is useful for you. And you're right I'm a european guy, although I was born on Aruba. Well, I have a lot of other video's on my channel and I hope they can help you too! Enjoy it!
Michael de Miranda, timbales can't be your favorite instrument, they're MY favorite instrument...... :) Anonymous enough around this medium so I can tell a story or two about timbales...... at a Santana show in late 80's, at Merriweather Post Pavilion outside Baltimore (allegedly a favorite venue of Carlos') Orestes Vilato was timbalero. During "Toussaint L'ouverture" the congas and timbales were SCORCHING. Orestes' solo begins and it became a psychotropic paranormal experience...... like a dam burst, tears streaming. It was how perfectly locked in together the bass, congas, and timbales, the UNITY just took total control :) My band of 12 years was blessed with the membership of Gali Sanchez, a Santana percussionist of many years....... he unfortunately was stricken by cancer. A benefit was held to assist him with medical costs, etc. drummer Walfredo Reyes, Jr. and singer Alex Ligertwood came to the show in Annapolis, MD, we were the headline band. With Alex threatening to untune my guitar when I wasn't looking :), in "Long Train Running" I looked at Walfredo, he sets the timbales on fire for a spectacular solo..... I GOTTA put my shades on because Walfredo's timbale solo was tearing at my HEART like a Hammond player did a few times. I've always been amazed at the voice of timbales and the effect. They really are unique in even having a voice and with such unique impact. The first time I (Sicilian/Swedish heritage) went to an all-black church it was one of the most intense spiritual experiences ever, I needed a beach towel to manage the tears of joy. SAME as what Orestes did, SAME as what Walfredo did Then on a gig with a different timbalero....... we were doing "Jingo", I think...... this cat's timbale solo was so full of passion I SWEAR he had levitated :) I looked over and both feet were off the floor :) I was laughing so hard I had to think of baseball to get back to a coherent state....... And I type with HOWLING high pitch in my ears 10 years later...... I was guitarist/leader...... on some timbale solos I'd crouch down in front of and below timbale heads, totally absorbed and immersed...... like a retinal burn from looking at sun, but never recovered, my hearing was SHOT for a couple days. Same with Santana show..... I THINK I'd read that of all bands, Santana was the loudest by far. With Jeff Beck in circuit that's a tough record to beat :) But yes, Santana shows left me ringin' a few days. And still can't get enough timbales......
Thank you for your lively comment! It is always good the hear stories about the history and what it means to you. I met Orestes in 1990 (I think) in Rotterdam. He gave a masterclass to the students at that time and I was one of them.It was impressive to feel the groove he has when he played simple timbales rhythms. I still enjoy the knowledge he shared with us. Thank you for your stories!
Thank you very much, Deanne! On my Patreon site you can find more lessons and Percussion Play Along tracks, where you can practise this rhythm. www.patreon.com/MichaeldeMiranda
Mucha gracias por este video , usted tiene una pedagogía muy buena para enseñar, somos muchos los que le agradecemos todas sus horas de trabajo para compartir sus conocimientos, que la salud siempre le acompañe.
Thanks man. Hopfully I get it now to the drumset. I love latinstuff. For Rockdrummers not easy to catch I guess. Imitating is possible for me by feel. To play it exactly and correkt is tuff for me.
Als je de clave omdraait (3/2) dan heeft dat gevolgen voor alle andere instrumenten. Alles moet dan in de dynamiek van de 3/2 clave zijn, dus ook de cascara. Het 3 gedeelte van de clave geeft vaart aan een ritme en het 2 gedeelte is meer statisch. Ik hoop dat ik je vraag goed beantwoord heb.
good lesson. i seem to get stuck on the left hand snd frequenly go off. any suggestions. I also checked out your prviouly released videos on the bomba and the abierto one. I assume that in your next two you'll probably address the plena which a lot of times is cofused with bomba. again i want to copmplament you on the excellent lessons and history you give with your rhythms............Rico
In which part do you have the problem with the left hand? The part on the side of the timbal or on the skin? Perhaps I'll make a video about plena too, but the first 2 video's will still be about bomba. Of course different styles like cuembé, yubá and hollandes ect. Thank you for your compliment!!
I am not a musician and not good at reading music. I study the music so that I can dance salsa better. It would be useful to people like myself for you to also describe the rhythm how a dancer would understand it in an 8-count. i.e. &1 2 3& &5 6& & &1 2 3& Thanks!
A ver si te ayuda esto: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + La cáscara: X X X X X X X X X X La clave(2/3): x x x x x Entonces para cuando es 3/2 empiece aqui: ^ (en el 1 de la segunda barra) con la cáscara.

@MARASALVATRUCHA199 We can shake hands! I love playing timbales!
In which part do you have the problem with the left hand? The part on the side of the timbal or on the skin?
Perhaps I'll make a video about plena too, but the first 2 video's will still be about bomba. Of course different styles like cuembé, yubá and hollandes ect.
Thank you for your compliment!!
Is there a normal step when to use which sound?
I am not a musician and not good at reading music. I study the music so that I can dance salsa better. It would be useful to people like myself for you to also describe the rhythm how a dancer would understand it in an 8-count. i.e. &1 2 3& &5 6& & &1 2 3& Thanks!
Excelent
Thank you, Luis!
Maestro quiero comprar unos timbales, que me recomienda de steel o bronze, saludos.
Blijft die verandering in dynamiek hetzelfde als je een cascara over een 3-2 clave speelt?
Una pregunta, entonces sería en clave 2/3: ta ta tata tata, tata ta ta ta? Y 3/2 pa papam pa pa, pa pa papam papam
A ver si te ayuda esto: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
La cáscara: X X X X X X X X X X
La clave(2/3): x x x x x
Entonces para cuando es 3/2 empiece aqui: ^ (en el 1 de la segunda barra) con la cáscara.
master plus
quite a nice video. but there is one thing missing: the notes. please publish them
Not the notation in music but here is this. I hope this helps you:
4/4: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
La cáscara:-----------------> X X X X X X X X X X
La clave(2/3): -----------> x x x x x
then for 3/2 Clave start here: ^ (en el 1 de la segunda barra) with the cáscara.
Ha, did a search on it and go here and scroll down. Both notations are there (plus other stuff) rhythmnotes.net/how-to-play-timbales/
