Bongo Ross

Great info for beginners. Why do people leave bad reviews for this. Its pretty niche. If you dont like bongos, why are you watching? I find it quite amazing that someone with absolutely no interest in playing the bongos would watch this and leave a comment. Did you search for boobs and bongos came up by mistake. If you dont like what your watching, turn it off and watch something else or read a book or go for a walk. Have a life!! Im interested in learning how to play the bongos, so this is very interesting to me.

This is exactly the rhythm that my music director at church was trying to teach me. Thanks to your video I now know what he meant. I'll be playing it tomorrow.

I stumbled upon your video in a first grade class today. They wanted to see the Drum video! We all think you are a wonderful teacher! I love how you define your words and take your time. One of my first graders picked up this rhythm right away! We had a GREAT time! Thanks for great content!!

Excellent introduction. Many advanced players have trouble understanding what it looks like for beginners, but you show people how to layer the sound by adding complexity to an underlying simple pattern.

Bongos have been especially helpful with my endeavor to quit smoking. Keeping my hands busy. Thank you for the "Habanera" lesson.

Watching this video after 11 year from posting

People always say that when someone is really good at something, they can make it look easy and effortless. And that's exactly what you have done here! Clear explanation and easy to follow, thank you :D

Great feeling ! The beat, the way you progressively get into the final beat composition ! And nice, smooth, explanation. Thank you.

Amazing how a simple setup can sound so good.

That was the best, first instrument lesson of my life. I felt capable and at ease. Thanks, Let's Do This!

Thanks...very helpful indeed. I've had my LP's for twenty years and play around, but you have inspired me to do more!

We love that you did this on a rooftop!

Well... he did the start and end on roof top. You can see grass in the rest of it so the explanation was somewhere else.

This was very helpful, purchasing my first set tomorrow to keep me busy during the quarantine! Actually looking forward to learning the instrument :)

Best-sounding, most clearly presented instruction I've found here for playing the basic 'Habanera' pattern on bongos for beginners. Unlike many teachers,, this drummer plays with a clean, slinky, fluid style, rather than with a wooden feel and muddy or imprecise tones. And his bongos are tuned nicely. Kudos, Al Dworsky! I have played congas at an intermediate-advanced level intermittently for 15 years, and I have now found a tasty "in" to approaching bongos, which I need to do both for their portability, and to use them 'non-traditionally' or folklorically for accompanying kirtan groups and various improvisational settings. ⚡ Many thanks 🔴⚫🎱

Great setting. Love the rooftop vibe.

what I love about this is how you take it step by step. nice teaching for a real beginner like me!

Good Stuff! Clear and concise. Short enough to learn the basic method so its not easily forgotten and can be practiced anywhere. Bravo! 👏

Reading some of the comments here from a month or two ago, you'd think this guy is some sort of bongo anti-christ because he doesn't play EXACTLY according to the basic bongo patterns. So?!? Plays very well and I incorporated some of what he does into my repertoire, good video, by comparison I make him sound very traditional...

Got it now, thank you! I appreciate you making this for us.

Thank you for this wonderful video and lesson - so easy to understand as I just bought my first second hand bongos ... and want to learn!

Surprisingly easier than I thought it was going to be. Thank you!

Brilliant, very musical, accessible and above all , inspirational. ‘Groove is in the heart’ 😂 Many thanks.

It makes me so glad to see an emphasis on the pulse right from the beginning because I overlooked it as a beginner and very much regretted it.

Very soothing voice and video

Man!! makes me want to learn how to play the Bongos. Love how explains the simple "beat" and progresses.

Explained and taught to Perfection, thank you, Al!

Big thanks for sharing this video. This is my first lesson and got it!! Thanks to you.

I just bought my first bongos and I’m glad I saw your video first. A great rhythm I’m from Australia

So easy to follow along with this video. Thank you!

I love this video, thanks for your time, you are exceptional, Good narration

Love it! I just played it on my pair!

Cheers, brilliant lesson.!!!

just wonderful, thank you!

Great teaching, nice videolesson!

Thanks for the lesson Paul Simon!

Great! I just picked up a set at a tag sale and figured I'd test my hand at jamming! Ty for tips!!

I’m going to keep this in mind for when I get some bongos. I followed along & counted out the rhythm to get a sense of it.

Gracias for this! Can’t wait to see my progress!

Drums are so cool. Thanks a lot. :)

Great video! really clear and easy to follow, had me feeling like a pro in no time =D

Excellent 👏🏾

Thank you Alan. I use this Cuban bongo (harmonara)playing the most.

Thank you. Perfect for Beginners.

I love this video!

Excelent class, thank you men

Very Nicely Explained, really good video.

Excellent demo/ lesson! Thank you so much 🌠🌅🌌🕊👍🏻

I’m a life long musician. With injuries from an accident I’m finding hand percussion my only unaffected ability. So, buying new percussion ( hand types). Torn between a cajon or bongos. I do music therapy as well, so bongos and other hand percussion seems more accessible. This video, explains what I’ve been know to do, but with appropriate info to do it better, thank you.

Helped me a lot, thanks man!

Thank you! This is really helpful

Thank you sir Best video

Very very helpful thanks a lot

Thank you for sharing this videos. My friend gave me a pair of bongas drum and I used this video to help me accumulated to my new friend. I just brought the video. Thank you for sharing your experience with mankind.

Anytime I've had bongo's in my hands I've only been able to produce " junk sounds". But with this, next time I get ahold of a bongo set, your video will be my starting point

this was so fun to play along with :)

Very informative,thanks

Right on. Thanks, dude.

Super teaching Sir
