Hey man, I have been meaning to write a comment to you for quite awhile and somehow just got distracted. Anyway, I want to tell you that I think you are great! You are prolific in the number of techniques and rhythms you teach. I think that is really great of you to do. I started playing the congas 3 years ago when I was 77. I still play at 80 and love it. Watching your videos has been great. Of course, I will never be a great conga player as my hand speed, though probably amazing for someone my age who only started 3 years ago, is not adequate to really be great. But I do pretty well playing along with a number of latin albums I have. But I just wanted you to know, that what you are doing is greatly appreciated and I think you are a terrific human being for doing it. God bless you and I really enjoy watching your classes AND at some of the live gigs you do. You are the best, my friend. My very best wishes!!
YOOOO THATS WHAT I DOOO!! I learned it the traditional way with the golpe abierto golpe abierto x50 but I got in the habit of doing like a acaballo typa thing with what ur doing and I thought I was doing it wrong but everyone said it sounded good so I just went with it. So glad I wasn't the only one!!
Eric! You are the glorious!!! Arriba El Salvador!!! 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻 Gracias por este tan lindo homenaje! We know music is universal! So anyone playing cumbia can relate no matter where they are from! Again: Thanks Eric! And be blessed bro!
Totally used this tonight - there was a cumbia piece that I wasnt familiar with in our show, knew I could rely on you and sure enough you had this sick technique. Cheers!
Thanks for video man. My family is telling me to play the tumbas, but I want to play the piano and the bass, but they're telling me to play the tumbas and to find out why and now I did. So, in conclusion, I'm going to play 3 instruments to top it all off. One can do it if they really want to.
That's like a Bachata Derecho just with 3 opens and a slap between all the regular strokes. amazing how similar it is. I thinks colombians sepereate the hands which gives them more freedom to improvise with the tumbadora.
Hi Eric ! Thanks again for these nice videos you give us every week ! As a conga player they are very useful to me and I work on them every day. I loved this video concerning this cumbia pattern . I play in France in a cumbia group called "calle caribe" (you can find us on internet) with a mix of french musicians and latino musicians (from Colombia, Peru, Cuba...). I have a request for you : could you detail in a video the variations you do on this cambia rhythm ? Thanks for the good job you do for all percussionists and long life to "a percussion life" Jim
LMAO I CAME HERE TO LEARN AND I INSTANTLY LIKE YOUR TEACHING VIBE YOU MAKE ME LAUGH WHILE LEARNING 2:55 edit: thx for the ❤ ;) edit: nvm I thought I saw a ❤ ;(
Video Idea! Can you do a cover of a song and either play what the record has or add your own flavor to a whole song. What variations you would use and where.
Si! Pero esta en ingles, es un libro interactivo en done cada leccion tiene el enlance del video que esta con su anotacion www.paypal.com/instantcommerce/checkout/2V29XBNVYS9S8
muy bueno bro aprendo mucho con ud ,soy de Argentina en este momento no puedo seguir con profesor pero ya tengo mejor técnica lo que me permite sonar mejor,me vienen muy bien sus vídeos y seguir aprendiendo,muchas gracias por compartir,abrazo.
Haces un video de cumbia y no hablas en español que desperdicio hay más comunidad Latina que les interesará aprender que USA porfa has uno en Español gracias
