Great feel. Love the shaker in the background.

@drowe77 Again sorry, I don't know where they are tuned to. To help some students who come here, I made this movie. Thinking back of it I was to careless with choosing the conga's for the demo. I just grabbed what was in the room. One is even a quinto with a plastic head on it. In retrospect, better tuning would have done more justice to the beautiful melody of the Guaguanco. The movie was and is just intended to help understand how the guaguanco melody and the rumba clave fit together.

This video is the best way to understand the basics of guaguanco... REALLY GREAT. Thanks MR. JOHANABEN

I love this guys style

Thank you for the nice words. We share our love for percussion and the interest of discovering the wealth that can be found in ( the music of ) other cultures. That's great. Thank you.

Geweldig

Me like 'em when they are tuned high. Sounds good. Thanks for the video

Very nice hand technique. I love it!

zeer goed gedaan.

thanks man! great rythm im gonna practice

I learned a different way of playing Guanguanco, but the way you are teaching it is really good. Your Guanguanco 2:15 is a good example. Mad Respect. Much love :)

the slap tones are in rumba clave it sounds very good

nice

grande.......un abrazo pelao..!

muito massa! maneiro gostei

real nice, I am tempted now to buy some Congas!

Nice!!! see if i can pull this off..

Different players choose whatever setup they likebut the vast majority will have a conga/tumba combination which is a standard setup. Some will choose quinto/conga but this is less common. i like the conga/tumba or 11 3/4 and 12 1/2 inch congas. The ones used in this video are 11 inch and 11 3/4 in which is a less common setup. Usually the 11 (quinto) is used for quintieando in a rumba or soloing if you will in a rumba.

@JerkyTreat Thank you, and you are welcome

I agree too

Re: being tuned too high. I agree...they are too high. It's hard to tell but it appears that the drum in front of him may have a fiberglass head....not sure about the one he's using as a tumba. I find that the fiber skins have a "tinny" higher sound the moment they are tuned even slightly high. Either way, his tumbao is nice. The tuning could be his preference. But if someone was playing quinto licks they would have to be off the charts high, for distinction from his other drums.

You're welcome

It is the quinto and a conga from LP, I'am not sure about the actual size in inches. I can't really help you with good advice when chosing a set of conga's. I think I would try to find a shop for theit advice, trust my own intuïtive opinion and listen to my budget and then try to find the best balance between those three inputs, when choosing a set. Succes.

but i like your green LP Classics!

It is the quinto and a conga from LP, I'am not sure about the actual size in inches. The quinto sounds a bit strange because it has a (old and worn out...) plastic head on it.

wow..thanks for the lesson..now i can create for a song dat i cant play in.....so,i can perform nicely on stage next 2 week...

Intro is a from Djembe rhythm or call.

wow

florrr degarrrrchaaaa!!!!

do you have notation from 2:46 onwards its making my head hurt

Heel goed man,wiste ik niet dat u zo goed can spelen,ha ha ha voor een Netherlander ha ha ha. Muy Bueno Macamba

Thanks, i just bought a 9" and 10" conga set. i'm wondering if that's standard or not.

You're welcome.

Can anyone identify what kind of LPs those congas are?

what size are those conga heads?

@TimbaCriolla funniest is when you play from 2:02 over and over

i'll learn dutch before that last bit

👍😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

nice Conga :P

I agree tuning is way too high

The hands are not supposed to be stiff, and the slap should not produce harmonics. Quite robotic.

2:06

VISITEN CUBA, ESCUCHEN LA SALSA VIEJA, APRENDAN LA VERDADERA TÉCNICA!!!!!!!!!!

eveliofaze apoyo la opinion jaja no tiene nada que ver esto con el guaguancó jaja asi es como lo ve quien no creció en la música latina

Not the right technique but good

Interesting, the drums are tuned too high. The introduction should be BFBFBFBF. I dont know what he is doing as the drums are tuned so high. The riffs he is doing are basic. Probably not the best video to learn from.

jajaja, das pena. tio...

Muito Ruim. Assista algum vídeo do Giovanni Hidalgo para vc aprender.
