How To Play Bolero on 2 and 3 Congas
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- It's Tutorial Thursday!!!
I know it's been awhile since I've uploaded one of these tutorials BUT I had to share this beautiful pattern with you all.... BOLERO!!!! You Got To Love It!!! It's super important to learn this patter as it has many of the movements and tools for other patterns that you normally use. The purpose is to always maintain the timing of this pattern and not rush. Bolero is smooth and relaxing, so this pattern should be treated as such.
I hope y'all enjoy this one. Tell me what you think...

Estimado Eric, siendo chileno, viviendo en Suiza desde hace muchos años y siendo un amante de la percusión y muy particularmente de las tumbadoras, quisiera agradecerte por tu talento, tu pedagogía y sobre todo por tu generosidad. Todos tus videos me han sido de mucha ayuda en este proceso de aprendizaje. Por favor, estando consciente de todo el esfuerzo y arduo trabajo que significa publicar tu trabajo, quisiera pedirte que continúes con tus tutoriales . Un abrazo amistoso. Te reitero mis agradecimientos y felicitaciones.
Again again and again...!!!! Thank you for all your input. Hasta que se ROMPA EL CUERO!!!
Sweet & Clean! Love that 3 conga bolero melody. Will sound cool on high speed ... Thx, mi hermano
Those Manito Peruvian skins on those Meinl Kachiro drums sound sweet👍🏾
Thank you for this! I've been searching for more bolero variations on congas. Saludos de Guatemala!
Saludos Aida!!
I hear Sweet child of mine with a baby cry 5:55 on the background 😅that show how much i take your lessons. Thanks!!
Thanks. Already figured out that you can also play the variations on two congas.
You gotta love it!
Thank you !! I am a Bolero lover and i've been waiting for this one !!
haha Thanks!
Muy Buenooo,Rumbero...Gracias por tus lesiones. Saludos desde Puerto Rico.....!
Thank you Eric, that was enjoyable, glad you and familia are ok, God bless.
Thank you brother! Really appreciate you for everything!
Gracias Eric! Saludos desde Orlando, FL
Loving your videos man, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!! Beautiful congas too...wow those brown skins look amazing! :)
Try playing the bolero what John Lennon s imagine it's lovely lol
Excelente!!! Mil gracias por tus lecciones. Un abrazo desde Maturín Monagas Vzla.
Abrazos!
Love the video @ericperez. For my church I do the bolero a lot for slow worship songs and every once in a while I add the "bongo" fills to it.
Thanks a lot sir. You really have a great methodology to teach. You make it look simple and fun.
Thanks!
Beautiful!!!!!
Gracias 🙌
Great!!!!!
Thanks Eric, this is great. I've enjoyed your collaborations with WDC, and I'm glad they led me to your channel. Learning a lot as I work through your videos, very helpful for a musician who only just recently discovered a knack for percussion. The way you lay out your tutorials is awesome, great beat breakdowns! Thanks for everything, you and yours stay safe and healthy!
Seriously appreciate it!!! Thanks for the support and I hope you're staying safe as well.
Hi, Eric, never commented on your videos before, but I love them, especially now, when I'm missing my weekly class in San Mateo with John Santos, due to COVIS-19 closures. Your video lessons help keep me active on the drums. Glad your family is safe.
I really enjoyed this bolero. I knew the original pattern, learned it way back in NYC, but your 3 drum variation is sweet. Really shows off the melodic quality that can be intertwined with rhythm on congas. And you are very clear and patient in explaining how you do it, and count it out. Also, your good cheer and love of the instrument and rhythms really comes through.
Just have to add, that I really loved your video on the Armando Peraza tumbao. Got to meet Armando a couple of times, and he actually listened to me play, which was a thrill. Thanks, Eric. Alex in San Francisco
Tremenda variacion amigo, tiene hasta algo de Cha Cha Cha .
jaja exactamente
Tu vas a vivir para siempre, I can't believe that you loaded this just yesterday 4/15 I was thinking man if big "E" would show a bolero patern and whoop there it is;gracias Pá
hahaha that's crazy Victor!! Thanks!
Please show us some adornos for the bolero on congas (la tumbadora y la conga) . Great video...this is how I learned it as well but struggling to get those adornos incorporated into the rhythm. Gracias.
This is amazing. The Manito skins are a whole new sound. Have them on my bongos and will likely put them on my congas as well. Thanks for your expertise!
Nice and creative variation.
Eres grande amigo, saludos desde México y que viva la música!!!!
Saludos!
Fantastic tutorial Eric!!! I've been watching your videos for years. Here's in idea. Could you take a rhythmic pattern, like the Bolero and apply it to a real time music application for about a minute within the same tutorial lesson. The way Jerry Gonzalez used to record his instructional videos. Then we can see how the pattern fits with the musical structure.
Hi Eric. Glad you and family are well. Just coming back from a heart attack but back on the congas. Love this lesson, you nail the feel. Your videos have been an inspiration for me to get back to my congas ASAP. Thanks brother and God bless you and your family. CONGA JACK.
Hope you recovery stronger Jack!!! Praying for ya!!!
You are the man amigo, never though I could add a third drum....or maybe I did but .....you know....jaja stay safe!
I have a couple of variations on 3 but didn’t want to get controversial because it should normally be played on just 2 haha thank you Fausto!
@@APercussionLife I know what you mean....bolero es bolero especialmente para los viejos....es musica suave....jaja gracias
That bass thooo, man really nice job on the audio production here. Just overheads? Also, I love the three-drum variation. Saludos, tocayo.
This fits soooooo many CCM songs and gospel songs out there. Full disclosure I have used it in Amazing Grace...🥰 gotta love it!!!!
hahaha Gotta Love IT!!!
interesting very good
I’m learning and practicing everyday with you. Would you please make another clip for the last variation and fantasy part that I hear like cascarada. I want to learn the order of hands playing. Thanks
Very accurate technique
I love playing bolero, a really good song that makes every little move fit just perfect with the patterns of the bongó and conga, plus a great singer and lyrics to top it off and I can play that all night long if they want me to.
Your variation is encendida 🔥, some directors will throw his shoe at us if we don't play bolero in a complete ostinato from start to finish, but hey... we can learn to dodge 😜
hahaha exactly... I do that 3rd drum here and there but never as a constant groove... I'd get fired with the quickness haha
"Man that is beautiful! You got to love, love it!". Eric, your videos, sound recording and quality lessons are congademic. If you have time, could you please tell me what conga brand you play and thoses beautiful sounding skins? All best to you and family.
Thank you! I play the Meinl Kachiro Thompson Series congas... and the skins I use are from Manito Percussion. www.manitopercussion.com
Excelente 🙏
Gracias Eric ojalá retomes los videos en español saludos desde CDMX
Eric, I'm a new subscriber and love your channel. Could you share with us how you mic'd your congas to pick up that bass strike so well? The sound is fantastic! keep up the good work!
You’re the man Eric can you do a video showing off all your instruments
maybe one day I'll do that haha
what are some good congas that i can buy as a suggestion, im 16 yrs old and i really love your videos and just the beautiful sound of salsa vivie puerto rico
Eric , I'm a new subscriber and really love your content and style of teaching. I have a question for someone who is intermediate at best doing play along Latin Jazz and Salsa in my Garage and playing occasionally with friends what is the traditional order to set up 3 drum positions? for a right handed player. I am confused because I've seen different people do different things. Is the quinto between my legs or to my left? Thanks for your help.
This here....
Oh wow
Thanks Eric - I like the variations. Do you have a special pattern for guajira, or do you just use the son montuno pattern?
I plan on showing a guajira variation very soon.. but it's similar to a Montuno pattern
Could one pull off a bolero on R&B/Pop songs? Examples? Thx!
Is sometimes more difficult to stay on time when it’s slower.
Erick los cueros de tus congas son sintéticos?
