      You can add a djembe, too. Since I don't use the conga stands (sitting the drums directly on the hard-wood floor), I placed the djembe in one of stands. The djembe provides a timbale-like sound on the high notes (rim shots) and it also provides a bass drum sound on the low notes (center). Best wishes on your drumming. Enjoy.

    Ive been watching all your videos and you cant imagine how excited i am to start learning these beats to some of my favorite songs. I dont know how you figured out all these rhythms and make them sound like they perfectly belong in the songs but I guess you being a pro makes the difference. Thanks for helping beginners like me by showing what is possible in playing these wonderful instruments! Please keep them coming!

    • @bongorilao
      @bongorilao  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Greetings! Thanks for taking time to send such a kind note, my fellow bongo player! May the positive vibes flow back to you. Yeah, just let your favorite music guide you and the mechanics part will happen in time with more practice and you will thus develop your own style - naturally! So, best wishes to you for many happy drumming sessions.
      Disclaimer: I am not a professional, just a drum hobbyist with limited technical skills (ie, advanced beginner), but that does not limit my freedom of expression nor diminish my joy of playing. Anyway, playing along with the recorded music makes one sound so much better, similar to singing in the shower makes one sound like Pavarotti.

    A question: I regocnize the conga's and bongo's but what are the two black drums on your left

    • @bongorilao
      @bongorilao  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks vey much, Sir. This video is just my amateur's hack at a classic song. To answer your question: the immediate left is a black Remo djembe and the far left is actually an unused, black drummer's throne that I've removed the backrest and placed as an improvised percussion table for the tambourine. I've since replaced this Remo tamborine with a Pearl "tom"-borine mounted on a cymbal boom stand, but I still rest the tomborine on the drummer's throne for added support. I bought another DW brand drummer's throne but there is no need to waste a good extra seat, albeit unconventional looking. This hand percussion setup replaces my need or want for a trap kit which I gave up many moons ago in the garage band days ye olden times. Also, the hand percussion kit is much more quiet than the crash and boom of a trap kit, which definitely more appealing or gentle on the ears of the neighbors! haha

    • @bongorilao
      @bongorilao  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@gzman1 The Remo djembe is 12". When you strike the edge of the drum I tend to think of it as a timbale sound, which I like. The Pearl tombourine is 10" and I found it here: www.steveweissmusic.com/product/pearl-tombourine/tambourines . I only use it for the jingle sound (not so much the tom sound) because I like to strike a flat surface vs hard edges found on those other head-less tambourine add-ons (example: the LP Jam Tamb). Of course, they take up much less space but I'm scared I will hit it the wrong way and jam/stub my fingers. You have to be careful playing "hand" drums because our finger joints can suffer when playing with reckless abandon - so to speak. Our fingers are our sticks, so manage them wisely! You can replace sticks, but fingers not so much. Thanks for your interest. It let's me know there are others out there like me. haha

I fell into this band and for sure my hands were swollen as we were playing 5 night a week and it took a bit to learn how to hit the cymbals right. I am learning to use the proper two hand technique for the congos now so thanks for your videos as I am sure to learns a lot.

      What color Meinl bongos? I have golden amber burst. They are nice drums.
      I think the videos mask some of the ringing plus I am playing with music. However, I tune my bongos really low, so that gets rid of some, too. You may try placing a piece of thick tape underneath the head to act as a muffler.

    have you ever played with HR el piernas bongos ? how do you rate them if so

    • @bongorilao
      @bongorilao  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, Sir. So, they are manufactured in Colombia? It appears to be the same quality and rivals that of top-end models sold in USA; for example, TIMBA bongos. I'm not sure if TIMBA is still in business, but I purchased a set from them several years ago now. Actually, I play mostly a set of Meinl bongos stand-alone and Pearls with my percussion kit setup. My recommendation to beginners, if you can wait to save up the money, get a top-end set of bongos that you really like instead of buying several low-end bongos along the way that end up sitting in the closet and never get played again. That's what happened to me; however, I did get the bongos I wanted in the end but I wasted money in the beginning. Of course, in my case, I can not warrant buying such quality bongos since I am a hobbyist, but if it makes you happy, who cares. We're here a short time, so if you want the HR bongos, get them!

      juan david velasquez It's much better to see the bongos before you buy. You can hold them and see how they fit your legs, weight, feel, sound, etc. I got my Meinls on-line and did not see them until they arrived at my doorstep. Luckily, they are great bongos. The bongos in this video are Pearl Primero Pro that I bought from the local music store, so I got to see them first.

    i have a cox bongo and its sound too bad for yours :( how can accord my bongo?

    • @bongorilao
      @bongorilao  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      What size heads are Cox bongos? I don't tune bongos very well or I don't take much time tuning because I'd rather be playing. The real difference in sound with the macho drum is the REMO synthetic heads that I swapped which are more forgiving for tuning. The stock heads on these Pearl Primero Pro bongos are ok, so I kept the hembra drum the same out of the box. This is an "inexpensive" matching set of congas and bongos that I bought together from the local music store and form the base of my percussion kit. You can always change the heads to make hand drums sound better but that is more money to spend. Some of the less-quality heads just sound bad no matter how you tune them. This was the case with my LP Aspire bongos. They eventually started to sound very flat. Also, if you have a ringing noise, you can place a piece of rolled-up masking tape underneath the bottom of the heads to act as a muffler. I play mostly with recorded music so I don't hear the ringing noise anyway since it it blends into the sound. My drum sessions are simply listening to my favorite music while moving my arms and most importantly, disengaging my brain from the rat race. If this was an audition for a band, then I would be in trouble. I'm just an old dude banging on drums, but I was banging on drums when I was a young dude, too. Blink your eyes while listening to Santana music and you are transported back to the 70's for a moment.
