Excellent. A great example of how you can take a simple rhythm, make slight changes, and make it sound so much different. But, you the master, make it look sooo easy. It's those little things :)
Man this whole thing is killing me! Particularly 7, 8, and 9....everything to the end. Whew....gotta love it!!!!! PS: And the drums themselves sound wonderful, great tone and balance.
Lol Erick I've played 8 of those 12 patterns and never knew they were funk patterns. I just viewed them and grooves. Thank you so much for this video and May God continue to bless you and your family.
A Percussion Life what’s the easiest pattern of them all. Do you have any video on the first pattern or the pattern you might find the easiest ??? Thank you
Oh man, you were having a blast and still so tight, in the pocket and clean, you play fast and clean with excellent technique. I've been learning your Funk for 2 Congas pattern, I see so much additional content for it here, thank you for this sharing, you said it before, this shit is for free, bless you, you're my favourite Maestro these days. I have a lot of work to do.
One of the very few players on you tube that always gets a like before even watching..you never fail...fab as per usual and your appearance on William Johnson channel and kalini was inspiring 😁😁😁..8 and 9 where my favourite
Hi Eric, Pure groove. I love it. Could you make a separate video please, so you can guide me (us) through a few of these pattern(s)? I like to get those grooves running through my veines and out of my conga’s.......
Great Eric. Love your variety of rhythms. You're such a pro. Could you make a video demonstrating the muffle tone and where and how you would place them in both 4/4 and 6/8 rhythms.? Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
@@APercussionLife Hello Eric ! Excuse my english . I do what i can . And i don't speak spanish . Just a bit italian . Un poco ! Do you know in which(?) videos i could find these 4 funk patterns ? I only know one of your videos with a funk pattern ... In fact i'd like you to explain each pattern . But if i have to choose , maybe the 3th , 4th and 10th . I'm gonna try to see what you do on each pattern . I listen to a lot of funk music and dance music . I like to find patterns i don't know in these tracks and try to play percussions during the music . It makes me feel happy ! I own three congas LP Galaxy . Gorgeous !! I like your videos . The last i worked was Guaguanco Matanzas on 3 congas . Great ! Go on Eric ! I need your videos !
Eric / that was nice / once I get that groove it’s hard for me to veer off for fear of messing up & not coming back in at the right time/ & then I feel the worst u can do is stop. So , that said / haven’t even got a drum yet & I have learned so much / my wife says I’m tapping & moving my hands in my sleep. Thanks WILLY CA 🥁😎🥁🦅🏍⚒☠️⚡️🌎🇺🇸🏥🦠🏥🌹😎

Brutal, hermano. Este es el nivel al que aspiro. Muchas gracias por la lección. Esta y la de los doce tumbaos, wao, hermano. Te pasaste. Me encanta que no editaste los pocos trechos en los que estas cazando al midi, porque cuando lo agarras, parece que el midi track te está siguiendo a ti. Felicitaciones.
A Percussion Life Thanks a lot Eric. I really like that video. I play now patterns 7 to 12. I saw you made a video with 12 tumbao patterns. How do you know all these patterns ? Did you create them or did you ear them ? I hope you ´ll make videos for a long time yet. You are my teacher !
do you have the notes for these grooves? I can kinda play along you, by just listening, but especially for your tips its hard to hear all you're doing. especially with number10. This shit completely blows my brain. Madness o.O
Thank you for not being unmercifully long winded and boring and just treating your audience to some dope drumming. Salute bro!
amen...well put

Brian Roscoe haha Thank you!
Awesome! I could spend a year studying the contents of these 4 minutes!
Man this whole thing is killing me! Particularly 7, 8, and 9....everything to the end. Whew....gotta love it!!!!! PS: And the drums themselves sound wonderful, great tone and balance.
Thanks, extremely concise. Very useful.
The sound quality is excellent. Especially the sound of the quinto is yummi yummi!
“No es la conga, es el conguero!” “You gotta love it man!” 🙌💪💯 🎼
This is so beautiful. What an incredible gift to my student. Thank you for your imagination and your generosity!
I'll be using this as a practice tool. AWESOME BRO
10 was my favorite.
Awesome grooves! Man, I think that's the best tone I've ever heard on a set congas.
I love these type of videos Eric. It gives me the opportunity to jam with you to a nice groove... Thanks Eric
Rico Cintron woooo!!!
Nice congas and great sound!!! Look forward to seeing more of your work!
Great! Funky is the best!

That was dope
Smooth!

Whoa!! The second part of Rhythm 6! "You can't do that on Television!"

Funky
Crisp, dirty and mf funky, as it has to be! This man knows the secrets of perc and funk - Thanks bro! Great!
10 is my favorite jam. Oh and 11... and 12! Oh poopy! I should've just waited till the end of the video to start typing 🤣
c C hahaha love it!!!
Groovy man groooovy
man puedes subir un video de cada ejercicio y variacion que estas ejecutando en este video?
F'ing Dope! ☝🏾❤
Most enjoyable! Looks like you were having a good time too. Did you intend to play all these grooves or were some of them spontaneous?
Dave Argall haha I was!! And ALL patterns were intentional... how I was transitioning on some were spontaneous, but somewhat planned haha
Hi Eric ,
I try to play these patterns . The most difficult is to see what you do with your left hand :
Palm - fingers , ghost note etc ...
🔥
Is it possible to ask you to break down 1 and 2? It would be very kind and helpful! Best wishes Lena
Hola maestro. Where can I find this music to play along?
Hi Eric !
I don't see the difference bteween the pattern 5 and 7 . Is there a difference ?
Yes if you listen to the placement and timing of the main Tumba hits... there are similarities but the placement changes the feel
A Percussion Life Thanks a lot Eric.
I really like that video. I play now patterns 7 to 12. I saw you made a video with 12 tumbao patterns. How do you know all these patterns ?
Did you create them or did you ear them ?

Qué bien, hermano! Me gusto in monton! I could see you liked it too. I reckon you could have gone on for another 12! Mucho respeto desde Inglaterra!
bruh you are fire
