    a cool thing that he does that many teachers fail to miss is explaining the sound very well. Great video.

    I played and listened to these tunes for years- I loved the point of the emphasis on the "3"- I never heard that before but it seems so obvious when I think about the feel in those tunes. Great video. Good reminder to listen on a different level when learning a song, to get to the bigger feel.

    I'm really happy to see that many people has interest in Brazilian music. Thank you Drumeo, however the content is not accurate. The guy has a poorly knowledge about Brazilian rhythms and how we Brazilians adapt all Brazilian percussion instruments to the drums.
    As many coments here describe, bossa nova and samba is in 2/4, among many other mistakes. I don't want to be hard on the guy, but a little more preparation for the task of teaching something he doesn't master, some good drum classes, even with some great north americans that really knows brazilian music, like Mark Walker for ex, would help a little.
    Nowadays, anyone can find good infos about brazilian music, to be honest it is a little weird to have this guy speaking about Brazilian music like that in the internet age, sorry to say.
    It would be nice to see some good brazilian drummers teaching on this channel for sure.
    Here are some guys you could call:
    Mauricio Zotarelli- he is in NY, it's easy.
    Celso de Almeida
    Edu Ribeiro
    Paulo Braga.
    Kiko Freitas
    Thank you for the great channel you guys put together, I watch lots of videos and drummers because of you guys.
    Take care.

    Teach students to count bossa nova and samba in 2/4, not 4/4. That´s well give them a better taste of the feel. Most of those songs were written in 2/4.

    • @amathesaxylady
      @amathesaxylady 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      I find that most Latin and Caribbean music is in 2/4 but westerners often find it hard to count or feel it so when I arrange music I tend to write it as cut common time, which is more or less the same thing. Somehow they get that!

    • @amathesaxylady
      @amathesaxylady 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Chris Scott when I say westerners I mean those that read and play western music. I get what you mean and agree but I find that writing it in 2/4 but using the cut common sign seems to make more sense to them. So they read it correctly. Whether they get the feel is another thing.

How about you call Kiko Freitas or Edu Ribeiro to explain with knowledge more in-depth. I hope you guys don't get me wrong, i just wanna help!!

    Unfortunately (or not - I think not) the best schools of Bossa Nova are in Japan nowadays.
    They knew, learned (with us), loved, understood and still playing originally (as Brazilian classics).
    Keep your cultures, guys!

    Nice lesson, but samba and bossa nova have a different rhythmic interpretation when it comes to the notation. If you think of samba and bossa nova as binary (2/4) makes it easier to feel the strength of the so called 3rd beat in this video, it would be the second tempo of every bar.
    But again, great work!

    Drumeo you should had called a brazilian drummer, or at least somebody that is REALLY into brazilian music.
    Dont get me wrong, i like this dude and there is nothing really wrong with him or the class but i think i should wrote something about it as a brazilian person and musician.
    1-One of the best things to really feel the new lesson or new learning is to bring somebody born in the same land of the rhythim.
    Its like, jazz or other US drum stuff, i like to watch the americans doing it first so i can learn and get contextualized.
    Witch is really important, rhythms are a antropology class too, and thats a big part of the playing (my opinion)
    Otherwhise its all about some exercise sheets of papper and repetition but u guys know it is NOT like this
    anyway, The only case for not learning that way is if u arent able to and u guys are!!! (its always better that way)
    2-Brazilian ostinatos usually are in 2/4 not in 4/4 (there are all kinds of tempo actually) but 2/4 is the main stuff around, and bossa is in this group.
    bossa drums has surged from a mix of jazz drum influence, and samba percusion rhythms.
    basically Bossa is a jazzy way to play slow samba and give it a feel for the harmony through the drumset with samba ostinatos
    and new guitar ideias for the melody and harmony, but its not the best and only brazilian rhythm. Its just the most globalized one.
    You should check Maracatu Drums ostinatos to see a real deal about drumming hard and thinking out of the box.
    Other thing is, there is no such thing as brazilian or bossa claves, because claves are a name for a tipical latin percussion that do that rhythhm of the clave and it is called clave (lol), clave its a latin american stuff, but not brazilian.
    U guys have this way of calling things claves but it is not right at all, u should just say ostinato
    well...
    Sorry for my english guys, im rusty
    tried my best to pass this more contextualized ideia of what bossa really means.
    Didnt mean to be rude, just add in this comments
