AG double groove
Переглядів 4,3 тис.8 років тому
For inspiration. This solo groove consist of only open tones. Among those 4 double strokes. I like very often to play this at the end of my free form solos. At the slow part I've added a 2 - 3 son clave in order to show the direction.

THANK YOU FOR THE KNOWLEDGE MY AMIGO BLESSINGS ..................................................................................................
Thank you very much for your possitive respons. I really appreciate it.
muy bueno mi hermano. donde puedo conseguir unos loop de tambores bata ? puedes ayudarme con eso?
¿Quieres algunos bucles para practicar?
@@obatalamusic no, es para producir música electrónica fusionada con los tambores. Si tienes algunos grabados en tiempo o los golpes sueltos de cada tambor. Saludos
@@amilsax ¿Qué formato deberías utilizar?
great feel. Gracias. very helpful. playing the Lets Dance song by David Bowie and the percussionist goes into a Mozambique pattern at end song.
Oh, thanks for sharing that info. I didn't know that. I'll have to check it out
Thank you for sharing. I always wanted to learn that!
You are always welcome 🙂
Buenísimos sus tutoriales. Gracias!
GRACIAS! :-)
👏👏👏👏😲🎊🎉👏
:-)
Excelente, muy bien demostrado y las velas al final tremendo!
Muchas gracias por las hermosas palabras. Me hace feliz.
Very Wonderful! Thankyou! A suggestion: Make the slow part longer and make the fast part wonderful so I can play along ....longer! Thanks!
I meant fast part Longer
@@brotherjohnbeall1230 thank you for your feed back. It is a very good idea to make longer track for playing along. The reason why my clips are so short is due to the fact that most people do not watch longer UA-cam videos. But I will considder your suggestion for the future.
Just like to start by saying that your channel is phenomenal. Thanks for all you share. Also, this pattern(with the 4th drum added) reminds me a lot of what the late, great Jorge “el nino” Alfonso played on “Ese Atrevimiento”. It’s not exactly the same,but, it’s the same general idea of playing the second low open tone on a lower drum than the first.
Thank you so very much for your comment and info on "El Nino". I really appreciate it. 🙂
Tienes instagram?
Top man
Very cool how you show both the 2-3 and the 3-2 clave at the same time with bell and block.
Thank you Gregory 🙂
Great playing, fantastic congero/singer and band.
Wow la topa
nice beat, gracias!
👍
Eso no está en el mapa
Ja ja ja 🤣
@@obatalamusic 🤣🤌
Es así tan altas, suenan como bata?
¿Espero que te gusten?
Hello what are these congas tuned too ? …. Is this 1 tumbadora and 2 congas or a quinto ?
Hello Aaron. It is two quintos and one conga. When playing 4 drums I add a tumba. The tuning is not specific. I just tune them by ear. Enjoy. Best regards from Allan
Seria prudente agregarle a la reproducción, a que temas o qye ritmos se deben tocar con ese melao o son...
Asè
Thank you for this class of Cuban music
You are welcome Cesar
I learned this rhythm fro Edgardo Cambon over twenty years ago. Nice to see it up here. And thanks for slowing it down so everyone can learn it.
Thank you 😊

Bjr très beau son de tumbas, bien défini et chaud. Vous pouvez dire la marque des tumbas et des peaux ?
Merci. Je suis content que vous l'aimez. Les tambours et les peaux sont de PJ-Percussion. Le nom des tambours est Nr. Une
Nice

Nuevas generaciones con mucho talento y amor por la rumba
Thank you for posting this and all your videos. Your presentations are all well paced, concise and straight to the point. The camera angle is great for seeing how the patterns move around the drums. A+ all around!!! Looking forward to working my way through your curriculum....
I like these exercises. I'll give them a try for sure
I'm glad that you can use it Ernesto. One thing you can do is to record the way you play them when you begin. Record the fastest speed you can. After daily practise, record the same thing again, and listen to the difference. It's amazing. Our brain, and ears will gradually get used to the improved sound day after day, so without the recording, it is sometimes as if we do not improve. But we do :-) Have fun
Classic rhythm...more than one way to do this!

who is/was youʻre great teacher? Inquiring minds wanna know.
I've had two great teachers. Octavio rodriguez Rivera, Cuba, and Martin Verdonk, Holland. besides being a great teacher, Octavio is also my Godfather.
How Are You..?CrazzzZZZzzzy Times.
Yeah Mario. It is the worst situation on Earth ever. How are you dealing with it all?
@@obatalamusic One day at a time..no choice...this is it for now we shall see what happens.. thank you for hooking me up with octavio... have you seen Yolanda play? she became A MONSTER PLAYING!! Stay Well..
Yolanda has really moved. When I was there 6 years ago, she did not even want to listen to the ancient music. She did not play drums at all, but classical piano. SUDDENLY :-) She is amazing.
@@obatalamusic yes when I 1st got there she did not play congas then she became a rumba monster.....
She started late, and that really puts a question mark with the ever lasting discussion in our world on when to begin to play. It proves that it all has to do with focus, motivation and a damn good teacher.
Great !!! Great Instruction !!! And Playing as Well...!!!!
Thank you so very much Mario. I really appreciate it.
La variation est vraiment cool !
Muito bom exercício 👏👏
Obrigado. Estou feliz que você pode usá-lo.
Merci pour ce partage, est-il possible de publier plus de patterns de shekere en 6 /8 ?
Je dois essayer de gagner du temps. Vous pouvez toujours jouer des rythmes koklokke et des rythmes batá sur chekeré.
merci en tout cas j'adore cet instrument depuis plusieurs années, mais je me décide à en jouer seul depuis cette année . de + il est plus facile d'avoir un niveau correct sur le shékéré que sur les Batas où les congas car quand on voit jouer les grands maestros on est vite dépités !
