@@bekaertdanielle I am sure you can play it, but to my ear it may not sound authentic. That was my point. Generally we hear the difference when it is a foreigner.
Maestro, I am a longtime fan of not only your playing but also your articulate explanation of the countries where the rhythms were developed. I always knew you to be a master musician but you are a master educator.
Hola Bobby!!! I love your teaching with the drumset on the Caribbeans rhythms. I teach Afro-Caribbean Percussion in Grossmont College, El Cajon, California and I have always stayed in tune with your teaching as a point of reference with my students. One thing I do is I teach the Timbales, Bongoes and Congas to beginning level students. I don't only do want to be percussionist but most important brass, reeds, and rhythm players. There's so much about Caribbean, Central American and South American rhythms that you and I would have to live 2 to 3 lives to be able to cover all the rhythms. Thank you again for your teaching and expert presentations. By the way, my uncle who taught me everything I know today about music was "Rafael Cepeda." I'm sure you know who he is. Keep on teaching, always, Manny Cepeda (from San Diego, CA).
Mr. Sanabria thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences, & indept knowledge. I enjoy learning & listening to your musical educative videos. Keep it going. M. Lorenzo a fan.
LOL Don't worry about it. The chances of you playing Meshugga are slimmer than that of playing a Soca. And, you can get thousands more dancing to a Soca rhythm.
Soca is the callaboration of The East Indian Indo-Caribbeans Druming patterns and styles With the Soul of Calypso from the African Descendant Caribbeans…said the creator of the GENRE himself!
Also the Soca Rythm was a huge influence to the Pentecostal Church in Puerto Rico I grew up in church so in my years in the Pentecostal Churches and me being a Singer we used that Soca Beat for well known worship songs in Spanish great beat to praise God and feeling joy and fire of the holy spirit 🙌 ❤️.... Awesome Demo my good Sir 👍 😎
Great video but I’m a former U.S. Marine and I know that the sousaphone was invented by John Philip Sousa in the U.S. There are also other instruments invented here.

And soca is absolutely everywhere nowadays ! On any modern pop song as a central groove. There is so much richness in music it would be great to hear some other variations. These videos are great for this. Keep on doing this please ! :)
So many commercials with Soca rhythms. Yet, hearing Soca played LIVE! Not as common. I think pop music steals these rhythms because it is the absolute cheapest/easiest way of getting an upbeat drum groove. Most of them are watered down versions of what Mr. Sanabria is showing us here.
Love your very good,clean playing. So crisp. Inspiring . so accurate sounds like a machine playing . l first saw you yesterday. And have watched a lot if the different styled you put up. Like i won the lottery on your video lessons!!!!! I am going learn em all. I furst worked on samba and cascara with tumbao with 2/3 and3/2 in 91. To get independence. But now i gotta do learn clave with my high hat foot or cow bell foot pedal instead of quarter know with that foot. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos, I'm a better player for watching them. I'd love to see a breakdown of some of these styles from a bass players perspective.
As a Trinidadian we always seen calypso as a more story telling format. Not as fast or ramped up. Soca is more for a jump up/chipping down d road behind a big truck. The riddim is more speed up. Calypso is more laid back. Maybe it can be compare to R&B vs Rap music or salsa/batchata vs merengue. This is the best i can describe it. But even in Soca you have 2 sub style we call groovy and power. Power is more bass driven and will mash up a fete. Thw groovy is more laid back and singing. Check out international Soca monarch competition where soca artist who when the monarch competition in their island/country all the winners from each island the come to Trini to complete with islands. Groovy and power are 2 seperate categories.
Try the bass drum hi hat and right playing,but keep the hit hat semi closed. then play the snare on the one and two, bass tomb on 3 and snare double tap on the 4
That was so enjoyable, thank you very much for posting this. It is very important to be able to understand the rythms that conducted music to be what it has become.
What exactly would be Latin riddims besides say flamenco or tango? Because most of the riddims from the Caribbean are of Afro-Caribbean in nature. Especially with the heavy percussion. Could you explain more about the European/Latin influence please?
Mikael S600 by latin rythms i mean south america. in brasil for example there's samba , baião and bossa nova and in cuba the guajira music. i can't remember others but you can find them oline i think
@@GrumpyStormtrooper so essentially latin music or dance would be influences from Europe. Giving the only reason a whole continent thousands of miles away from where the latin heritage originated is know as latin America is due to Latin contact from Europe. For instance giving Argentinas huge Italian heritage the tango is very popular there.
The main difference is tempo.... Calypso is slower....and more for story telling. Soca is more to jump, wine and get on badd 😀. The medium tempo soca and the more uptempo Calypso have a very similar riddim.
Ok so what's the proof that the dembow originated in West Africa? I hear these claims relating to Caribbean culture a lot but I didn't hear anything musically resembling the dembow in early west African music.

I'm Trinidadian and Jamaican, and I appreciate your attention to authenticity ✌🏼
He's a professional drummer at the Lincoln Center.
The cowbell is in many soca songs lol. Great job
Fela Kuti uses it a lot
Please note Buster Pondexter did a remix of "Hot Hot Hot" , the original was done by calypsonian Arrow.
Glad you said that. I had to interrupt Bobby at that point.
When yuh from Trinidad!!!!!!!
You really did the soca rhythm justice. Foreigners generally dont get it down so well. I loved the cowbell touch.
i'm a foreigner yet i can play that
@@bekaertdanielle I am sure you can play it, but to my ear it may not sound authentic. That was my point. Generally we hear the difference when it is a foreigner.
Soca is the soul of calypso merged with African and East Indian rhythms.
Big up for mentioning the Mighty Sparrow 🇬🇩, but you forgot to Mention Ras Shorty I 🇹🇹, known as the father of soca music

Totally love this style, along with that surf beat. Just started drums! It will be a long way till I can play Meshuggah lol.

That was the perfect balance of talking, playing, history and technique!
Thank you Bobby! We Trinbagonians love our SOCA!
So well done, Bobby. Loved it. Wish you were in my band.

Well they take they rhythm but nobody knows where they take it from . . .
@@davewallace1209 It seems so ;) such a shame. But I must admit the groove directly enters your brain !

The left foot action on the cowbell version is very cool

Thank you sir.
this makes me run straight to the drum shop...thanx man
Sweet music trini to the bone👍💖
We do play the cow bell in Trinidad among other things. That’s the rhythm section or beating iron.
Love Bobby.....he respects the genre of the music he's playing.......
Left fook working the hi hat, very very nice! I really like it. Brilliant playing. I love all the little authentic variances. Bravo!
one of my favourite rhythms no idea it was soca inspired, I can drum this for 24 hours straight :D
Are you from Belmont or Couva?.... just kidding.
I wish the audio levels of most of these LC yts we're LOUDER.
Thank you so much for these wonderful videos, I'm a better player for watching them. I'd love to see a breakdown of some of these styles from a bass players perspective.
Man Bobby is the best, true master on the drums. I gotta check out his other drumming videos.. Thanks brother!
Am 14 I I can play soca but I don't know how to the high hat foot
Very nice. What different from soca and calypso please?

Great explanation! This is one of those ways we play soca music.
YES!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful sounds❤

Cadencelypso ?

Love the tempo
Try the bass drum hi hat and right playing,but keep the hit hat semi closed. then play the snare on the one and two, bass tomb on 3 and snare double tap on the 4
it looks like a southern brazilian rhythm, the vaneira...
YES SOCA!
best lesson ever.thank you Bobby and the Lincoln centre. I aspire to be as cool as you
Thank you
Phenomenal!
Tremendo saludos desde la República Dominicana
Bobby Sanabria you show so much love and humor (along with chops)
Hello Marangal
That's new to me. Doing disco high hat sound with left foot.
from Spain, thanks for this lesson!!
Brilliant video! Super useful 😊
That was so enjoyable, thank you very much for posting this. It is very important to be able to understand the rythms that conducted music to be what it has become.
Yo no sé pero a mí me gusta la soca música.
saludos desde guiria venezuela me gustaria un video donde enseñen el nuevo ritmo de soca power
Amazing skills, great teacher!
Thanks for your great vidéos!!
Its great putting a tight djembe in the mix.
Eye opening with great perspective.
Bass Guitar is American, too. ☺
can we have a series with this guy about afro-caribean and latin rythms?
What exactly would be Latin riddims besides say flamenco or tango? Because most of the riddims from the Caribbean are of Afro-Caribbean in nature. Especially with the heavy percussion. Could you explain more about the European/Latin influence please?

Mikael S600 absolutely right sir, it's because of the spanish and portuguese colonies that were present there.
excellent a lesson learnt well my friend
Dude’s left foot is money!
Amazing job!!
Very good 👍 Nice sound
What's the difference between the soca and reggaeton beat?
Someones say the speed... soca is faster... but the pattern is same
What is the difference between the rhythms calypso and soca?
The main difference is tempo.... Calypso is slower....and more for story telling. Soca is more to jump, wine and get on badd 😀.
The medium tempo soca and the more uptempo Calypso have a very similar riddim.
1:32 DAMN
Waaayy too fast!
Playing with Bobby is the best!
Super cool
THIS IS EPIC THX
Killin it
🇹🇹
Impressive
Wonderful stuff Bobby. Really helpful, many thanks!
Does anyone know what those two mics used on the drum set are?
they're akg c414s by the looks of it
+Mike Sands I think you're right. Those windscreens make 'em look square, which threw me off.
when i record with them i never use the windscreen either, mainly because i blumlein them and try to get the capsules as close as i can
🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾😎✨
Trinidad and tobago, not just trinidad
I know I heard it somewhere.... Shakira - Waka waka. Instant respect gained for Sharkira. :)
Ok so what's the proof that the dembow originated in West Africa? I hear these claims relating to Caribbean culture a lot but I didn't hear anything musically resembling the dembow in early west African music.
