    Man, and here we thought you were just a congero! Add actor/comedian, writer, producer, videographer, and sound technician to your resume!! Your videos just keep getting better and better, Eric!

      His eye contact when he goes out, again, to get another drum "I'll be right back.." = ACTIIIING!!!!

    I love the argument between the 2 conga heads. Not only was this funny, it brought up some good points. At several places i was thinking, "uh oh, thats me!" Really well done

    OMG this was one of the best vids you've done! Please do a once a month comedic/educational skit like this. I love it! You make me feel better only having 2 congas & matching bongos. And.....I play rawhide heads cause I couldn't find synthetic to fit my Toca congas. Your son makes the perfect side kick!

  • @Mr.Deko86
    @Mr.Deko86 4 роки тому +7

    That was hilarious!!!! I laughed my ass off because I know each of those characters. I'll admit that I'm the beat maker. I drive my wife and kids nuts. Thank you. This was awesome.
    Also, team Rawhide.

    • Twennyfi
    • Celia Flores (got the biggest laughs. One of my students/band member was laughing so hard I think a little bit of weewee escaped, but he won't cop to it).
    • Frankie Hernandez
    Bruh, I f***ing lost it. I showed your vid to my band and you had us tears! 😁😆😅😂🤣. By the way, I'm the player that brings EVERYTHING! LOL! In fact, me and my student/band member actually have a gig on Saturday for $50 each! LOL!
    This episode was absolutely hysterically funny! Thank you, Eric.

    Dude! Imma say you nailed it! I've seen them all in 30 years playing percussion. I've seen more of the brings-all-instruments and the 30-tumbao, doing-too-much players... But dude, you had me cracking up the whole time... 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

    Conga, bongó, darbuka, djembe, ashiko, dunadún and tons of «FOUND» and created instruments..... except Mr. Synthetic.
    Unless I am playing my Pearl FFX snare- Then it is ON!! Power Dot Mylar or KEVLAR!!!!
    Really I love your videos! You are doing great work! I am sure Tata G. smiles on you from above!!

  • @victormartin864
    @victormartin864 4 роки тому +1

    Awesome video and funny because there are congueros like that. I my self is just a drum dabbler and I do tap drum beats on my metal kitchen sink for the hollow sounds and on my self I actually tap my self. Kinda crazy. I like both types of conga heads but the synthrtic makes me think of pie crust. Please do a djembe video and a bachata for bongos video. It would also be great if you can do very fast stick patterns for guiro video. Keep knockin em out.
