Yo that was smooth. Here's another variation to add to my tool chest. You and cats like Bongorilla have taught me alot. Thanks for the tutorial. They mean alot to budding bongoceros like myself.
As an English speaker, honestly the Spanish episodes are dope! UA-cam's closed captions (sorta) translates, and hearing you speak over it has been helping me work on expanding my limited high-school Spanish skills. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge Eric, these videos have helped me a ton!
Thanks so much for this Cool lesson! After understanding it, in terms of musical written notes & the ‘count’… ~ I reckon it would be: 1& 2& 3& 4& … ~ then, second measure: 1_&a 2& 3& 4& …Repeat (of course proper touches & tones must be applied 😅 … That first beat of second measure/the roll is in 16th notes if musically notated, 1e&a, with the e eliminated/that is being silent or another way of saying it is: there is a ‘rest’ on the e of 1 e & a…. So it is 1_&a …. 😅🎶
que agradables entregas nos das Eric y eso de maña..maña..maña !! jiji es así mi hermano pero al fin tenemos la oportunidad de ver la verdad, gracias mi hermano!!!!!
Broder muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos acumulados en tantos años de sacrificio y perseverancia. Mis respetos y admiración para ti, yo soy cantautor pero me encanta la Percu y quisiera pedirte si fuera posible hacer un Tutorial sobre Pedrito Martínez, esa marcha que el hace en dos o tres congas cuando arranca ese tren. Sacar eso de oído no es fácil, pero para tu nivel no creo que sea problema. Un abrazo y aché
Do you have any suggestion on how to do a short roll on 1 in Martillo, used in Dominican bachata? One problem could be the fact that if you use two of the same fingers of both hands to do a roll, the thumb cannot be prepared in time to provide the tension increase in the center of the macho for the high note.
I found it too.complicated until I begin counting (the numbers below represent the bar timing) : 1Rm &L 2R &Lt 3Rm &L 4R(hembra) (Lt, 1Lo) &RL2R &Lt 3Rm &L 4R(hembra) &Lt Rm Right mute Lt Left tumb (Ghost notes) Saludos compas
HI Eric! Love your videos man. I just started playing el bongo a few months ago. I have watched your videos and learned a bunch, but I feel like I am all over the place. Do you have any structured courses for beginners? Or do you have any recommendations for beginner bongo courses?
yo personalmente no habló ni papa de inglés pero si decides que lo otro es mucho esfuerzo 4 nothing que sepas que además de aprender de ti y tú música que es nuestro idioma, me estas ensenyando otro diferente que es el inglés, take 2 x 1, apreciated! Salud
How do you tune your bongos,mine doesnt sound like that, obviously my bongos are cheap headliner with evans heads,any recommendation for tunning? Saludos desde Mérida Yucatán México
mario gomez headlines are limited to the sound they can play. Get yourself some LA Matadors and you’ll experience the difference. Erick’s bongos heads are Manitos skins, which are top of the line. I usually tune the macho at G or F# and Hembra at C. For most Latin music of course.
I appreciate how you broke this down and went slow. For a beginner do you recommend practicing the Martillo until you're able to build up speed before learning variations, or is it okay to learn some variations while still practicing the basic rhythm?
Thank you so much! I would say... try to get as comfortable with a basic martillo as possible... to the point it comes so natural that the hits are as clean as you think possible... theeeeen when you start to get into other variations... those hits are already going to be developed that it comes a bit easier.
This was great and you're such a warm presenter/teacher. I appreciate you!
The next part is CROOOOOSIAL - sounds like your from Dublin, Ireland there :) Gotta love it.

Thanks… great talent for “teaching “
Erick you made me remember a Venezuelan percussionist called Pan con Queso he died and he used to made bongos and congas too
Awesomeness!
Eric; what’s the thickness of the macho and hembra manito’s head? Horse and Steer I assume.
I love that! ❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
