I love that intro song
Listened to this like 50times best video ever dude great job
This is just what I wanted 😊thank you for this ,you are a great drummer😊
AWESOME! adapting several percussion parts on the drumset is not an easy task. There is the "Latin Drums" a whole other animal to master which usually is setup with a pair of Timbales, a Bass Drum, a Floor tom for color and combinations breaks, One Cymbal Crash-Ride Combination, then cowbells, may have 2 or 3 depending on aplications and jam block for the "clave" there are many "masters" out there in the latin world of this unique instrument which is played usually on your feet; the concept to play it is totally different and of course it has to do a lot with the "feel" that the player has and how skilled he or she is with latin rhythms.
I want to say I learn a lot watching your videos and enjoy all you do fully, maybe we bump one day at NAMM shows, it would be great meeting you in person to thank you for all you do here for us grunts! As a latin player myself I am honored and humbled to share with you that in this example, at least in the slow one you WANT to keep that Cowbell steady doing quarter notes and two eight notes on tempo, (the fast example sounds right and tight) so in one bar you will have in all four beats one quarter note and two eight notes per each beat; It is kind of complicated for me to explain it in writing as this is first time ever I have attempted to do so but if you play this way rather than how you show it, it does makes more sense as a mambo beat adapted for the drum-set. Please note it is not my intention to take over your clinic at all, lol, but trust me when I tell you this beat you are showing although very unique and there is no right or wrong to do beats, would benefit a lot with the described pattern for the cowbell. Try it and you will see and hear the difference. To back up my comment, I am sure you must know Mr. Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, to put an example of a great latin (and everything else really) player. He is an old friend; if you bump into him, show him this comment and ask him; he will tell you the same thing probably! Keep up the great work! We are all always following you!
Not very clear, but it seems you are talking about la campana de bongo. In that case you have to mind the clave.
In 2/3 you play 1 2 3 4&1 2&3 4&1
in 3/2 you play 1 2&3 4&1 2 3 4&1
I agree with Tommy, it's an adaptation, but I think most drummers play too loud.
Nice!
Helpful little tip for really perfecting this groove is to hit the accent on the second note of the rack tom double stroke
What mics and interface you use for recording?
Such an important lesson to understand right-hand ostinato, syncopated bass drum, etc. Is that a Pinguim (Brazilian) six-lug snare drum?
Bila lah aku boleh main macam Tommy Igoe ni. Hmmm
Can u please put note for this lesson
What is that bell pattern? Isn't it supposed to be the cascara?
not on the mambo. that's the correct mambo bell pattern.
Buenas.. podrían decirme cual es el nombre de la segunda pista de mambo?
Walter Sanchez Creo que viene de su libro, "Groove Essencials". De ahi es la pista que se llama "Fast Mambo".

Hi Tommy! Would you agree that Ringo--though a simplified interpretation, was the first Pop/Rock drummer to use the "Mambo" beat in a song(I Feel Fine)?
I bet the congas would fit in well with the drumset.
He would play something else on the toms, because the tumbao is the conga player's job.
It's true in salsa, you play all notes of the cascara equal in the paila (the shell of the timbal) or the campana (cow bell).
But in son, there are more shades, and you don't play that loud. Sometimes la cantante doesn't even have a microphone !
I find it more musical to play the cascara in 2/3 with a ghost note () 1 2 3&4& &2&(3) 4&. Very difficult because the left hand is busy with the tumbao. You don't necessarily have to play the & of 4 on toms with this cascara. 2 and 4 is enough.
Holding the clave (clave de son or clave de rumba) with the left foot helps a lot. It's a lot of work, but it's worth the pain.
When you are comfortable with it after a few years, you can start singing the background vocals !
I GOT A FEVER, AND THE ONLY PRESCRIPTION IS MORE COWBELL!!!!!
I have a t shirt that says that
i love the accents on the floor-tom of final part
oh , please
by the way, I'm a bully
额，真有人来回复－ －醉喔
Tang YuanHong , what did u say?!
Just dont grab my parts
Clave??
Thought the same. Not much here!
You have to dive deep in this music to understand and master this aspect. Long way to go.
Here, he just shows an example in 2/3. The clave is just the beginning of the work. If you want to play cuban music, you have to dance, play guiro and maracas, and sing in spanish ! But most of all, you have to learn music, drummers often forget that part. Harmony in salsa can be quite interesting, though not as much sophisticated as brazilian.
annoying you need to listen to Bobby Sanabria
You just speak bevor listening guy...ok..T Igoe is a topp teacher..so you just stink ..talking from your..down part.tx Tommy for your simpatic teaching! Tx
cringin...
