Im a guitarist for about 18 years now, having a drum lessons for about 7 months now and just bought my first set of bongos that is made in Thailand about 2 weeka ago. Learning the basics. Excited to play this new instrument. Thank you sir for the lessons.
I am glad that the video will help you in learning this cool musical instrument. Have a good practice!
Thank you! I'm a musician. I have wanted a set of bongos since I was 10 years old (I'm 78). I just bought a set. I learn music and beats by ear. This is absolutely perfect to learn from. This will also help with my steel pan playing. Michael
Thank you for your positive feedback! I am glad that the video will help learning. Good practice!

Awesome. Thank You. You make it look so simple. Yet so easy to follow and learn.
I am grateful to you for your positive feedback! Have a good successful practice!
super tutorial! Thank you.

Love the content and how you just PLAY it without talking. Most of us just need to hear or read the notation to get the rhythm and talk becomes unnecessary.
Thank you for your feedback!
Fantastic! Thanks!!
Extremely generous of you,
amigo!
Thank you for your assessment! I believe that knowledge needs to be shared, and the space will respond with positive phenomena for this :)
Super!!! Thanks! Now started the work with the rhythms. But play it with a quarter of the speed. And also try it it Chords of string instruments like Guitar or Ukulele and others. It helps to understand those rhythms, even usually not known to me! Or if heard it did not think about it. It was very helpful to listen to your teachings even with notes. Greetings from Germany!

Thanks!❤
Perfetto,pulito ,chiaro. Grazie!!! Utilissimo x principianti. Ma i ritmi avanzati quali sono??? Grazie. Marcello
Grazie per il tuo interesse per il video! Non sono sicuro di aver capito correttamente la domanda. Ritmi avanzati questi sono probabilmente ritmi sviluppati dalla versione tradizionale o mescolati con un altro stile musicale
Muito bom!!!! Gostaria de conseguir as partituras e os play a long
Muito obrigado! Eu ainda não consigo entender como me organizar a oportunidade de fornecer notas para aqueles que desejam, muitas vezes me perguntam sobre isso. Eu moro na Rússia e os pagamentos internacionais não estão disponíveis para mim no momento. Posso fazer um vídeo de partituras e adicionar música ao Play Along?
Very good from bali indonesian fauzi bongo
Thank you so much for the positive from Bali! Best wishes!
Thank you too grovers very good you play bongo
Greetings from Germany!❤
Thanks a lot Sir for this great work, very structured, easy to follow, sorted from easy to complex, good video and sound. This is impressive. Which rythyms/sequences can be used for Bachata, Salsa and Merengue?
Thank you very much for your comment!
The rhythms of Salsa and Bachata are played on the basis of the Martillo rhythm. In Salsa, bongocero plays martillo and variations based on it in the verses, and in the choruses he takes a cowbell bongo and plays its rhythm. In Bachata, improvisational inserts are added to the martillo in the form of fast fractions and different breaks. In Merengue, you can also play Martillo and if the rhythm is also played by congas, then add improvisations.
Hello again Sir. Do you suggest any sequence for slow "Baladas". Usually at 65bpm.?
@@Drums-and-Percussion-Grooves.
your neighbors must absolutely love you....
My old 1870 house has thick walls, and I did a little work on sound insulation :)
🙏❤️
👍Welcome to the channel!
Brilliant. I assume the technique is the same for congas?
Thank you very much! The principle of the game is similar, but the technique of playing with the left hand is slightly different.
In this video, I show sound production on congas and combinations of sounds - exercises. th-cam.com/video/WJrayoxJfbM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this video! Are the Afro-Cuban rhythms for son Cubano? Is it 2:3 clave or 3:2 clave?
Thank you for an interesting question! Son was traditionally performed in Son Clave 3-2, more modern Cuban styles are more common 2-3 and Rumba Clave. Most often, the type of clave in a song is determined by the main melody. If the melody starts due to the beat or in the first beat, then it is considered that the song is in 3-2. If the melody begins with the second beat, then most often this song is 2-3.
Просто супер, огромное спасибо. Не подскажите где можно почитать или посмотреть о note notation for bongo?
Спасибо за позитивный отзыв. В разных учебниках немного по разному описывают апликатуру левой руки. В правой все просто. Tb это удар большим пальцем левой руки с фиксацией на коже. Finger - касание пальцами.
Вот видео с традиционной кубинской техникой игры. th-cam.com/video/M2_RftEFh0Q/w-d-xo.html
A coisa é séria!Antigamente os percussionistas (e muitos ainda atualmente) não sabiam ler partitura....!!!!
Obrigado pelo comentário! A capacidade de ler notas ajuda muito na aprendizagem. Antes, os livros eram apenas livros, depois vieram as escolas de vídeo e os CDs. Agora, para oportunidades únicas de aprendizagem, o TH-cam ajuda a aprender muito, e combinar diferentes métodos: vídeo + som +notas + repetição em câmera lenta facilita o processo.
Vossa performance e demonstração são ótimas!
Muito obrigado, é bom ler esse comentário!

Thanks!
I need it in slower motion!
Impressive collection of effective patterns…can you suggest a progression or selection of essential patterns ( between 5 and 10) to know for a beginners?
It's best to start by learning the Martillo rhythm. He's the first in the video. Most Latin American styles of music are played on its basis. For all rhythms, I have given examples from simple to complex, so you can start with the first examples if you are just starting to play.
For ease of study, you can take one bar from any rhythm and play only it. Then separately disassemble the second one like this. then combine them. This is the easiest way. And of course, start practicing at a slow tempo, then, when your hands get used to it, you can gradually increase Tempo.
Perfect thank you!
Martllo and the first simple pattern for all rhythms…i play bongos whitout guide…i m bass player
Excelente, no se como agradecerte este vídeo, es increible como podemos aprender tanto con un solo vídeo. Te quería preguntar donde podemos descargar las bases rítmica que se escuchan de fondo, (o si alguien sabe y puede comprtir), para practicar con el bongó.
Muchas gracias por sus comentarios positivos, ya es un buen agradecimiento. Por desgracia, cuando estaba haciendo este video todavía no había adivinado hacer música adicional para la clase. Tengo una serie de videos con largos play along. Tal vez por jugar bongs con ellos. th-cam.com/play/PLYsXiOiqESq0_K_APOhX9GRkqvxP61-ff.html&si=mYzVj7sBEdxAfMCI

@@darioluque1309 Estoy muy contento de que los videos sean útiles! Buenas prácticas!
здравствуйте! спасибо, очень интересное и полезное видео, мне понятно всё, что вы тут играете, т.к. я долгое время занимался джембе, дарбукой и рамочными барабанами, недавно приобрел бонго Tycoon MTBHC-BC, очень хочется изучить латиноамериканскую ритмику и это видео стало находкой. подскажите, пожалуйста, а какой строй у ваших бонго?
Здравствуйте! Рад, что видео пригодится в обучении! Обычно Бонги настраивают в кварту. У меня здесь строй такой:
низкий C и высокий F. Видео записывались в разное время и иногда строй был D и G .
Высота может быть и другой, это зависит от диаметра бонгов и типа пластика или кожи. На слух настраивают так, что бы высокий бонго начал петь - звенеть (звучать ярко). Кожу при этом после игры лучше чуть приспускать, что бы не растягивалась со временем. С пластиком такой проблемы нет, натянул и забыл.

Thank you very much!
Can you tell me how to get the right sound of the drums? I beat rhythms, but the sound is very different from the pure sound on the video. Thank you!
I am glad that my video was interesting to you and you practice these rhythms. There are two variants of the game loud and normal. In the video I showed the usual technique. In a small drum, the blow is made with the index finger. The blow is sharp, as if you touch a hot iron with your finger. The finger touches the edge of the drum at the midpoint of the second phalanx of the finger (between the joints of the finger) where soft tissues are. But the impact itself into the membrane occurs with the pad of the fingertip. In the big drum, the blow is done the same way, but the edges of the drum touch the soft tissues of the third phalanx of the finger. This makes the sound more dense. If you want to play loudly, then the blows are applied with three fingers. The striking technique is the same. For the right sound, it is important to tune the drum well. The usual interval for tuning is a quart. For example, the big drum is the note C, and the small one is the note F. Or the notes D and G respectively. All nuts should be stretched evenly, because of this, the overtones sound the same and the sound turns out beautiful. I hope I helped you.

Wish there was a salsa one man! Or tango that would of been sweet. You ever tried maybe Arabic styles 👀??
Thanks for the comment! In the Salsa style, bongos are played mainly to the rhythm of Martillo and improvise based on it. I plan to make a large section on Arabic rhythms, but mainly for the darbuka drum (dumbek). I haven't found enough information on bongos in Arabic rhythms yet, although I understand that any rhythm played on a darbuka can be played on bongos :)
@@Drums-and-Percussion-Grooves Sorry for the ignorance friend! Just started picking up the bongos myself and came across this channel! You have been very informative in my journey!
As for the Arabic style sounds. You’re amazing! Can’t wait to see this!!!

Thank you!
Do you have course videos for all these grooves?
Yes, I first shot them for some time, and then combined them into one big video.
Then I began to improve the video, add a slow tempo and a playback for music lessons
May I request for the link sir?

Do you sell audio Bongos rhythms pack ?
Hello! I haven't done this kind of thing yet. Theoretically, this is possible, you need to think about what format to do it in. To do this through TH-cam services or in another way.
Why did you add extra sounds
It was more convenient for me to play with them than just under the metronome. And I decided that it would be easier for others to perceive the rhythm in this way with some support of fine percussion.
How do you play this with drum sticks on a drum kit? Thanks
The question is interesting! It depends a lot on the situation. If, for example, there is no percussion in the band, then the drum part includes the Maracas part and the main accents of the percussion part. If there is a percussionist, then you can lighten the drum part and take on the part of Cowbell and Timbales. The situation strongly depends on the style of music and the nature of the arrangement, for example, in Samba, a bass drum can play the Surdo part, and in the Mambo style, a barrel may not be needed, or rare Bombo accents.
I have rhythms for a drum kit in my playlists, maybe you will like something in them. th-cam.com/play/PLYsXiOiqESq12qZwdZ0jAJBpugiB85v3u.html
@@Drums-and-Percussion-Grooves that's right. There is no percussionist. If you could make a video showing the use of drum kit, it would help a lot. Thank you.

Where is the bachata rythms?
I haven't made a bachata video yet. The main rhythm here is Martillo and a large variety of variations and improvisational inserts.
Amigo estudia armonia teoria , la clave neutra es para ejercicios de ritmica no para ejecutar en una pieza
Gracias por el interesante envío. Para instrumentos de percusión sin un tono específico, se utiliza una clave especial "neutral". Su propósito es diferente de la asignación del resto de las teclas en el sentido de que no muestra el tono de la nota, sino que simplemente asigna un Stan para indicar el lote de un instrumento de percusión en particular. Para los tambores, hay dos llaves que tienen el mismo significado, solo que se ven un poco diferentes. Uno como dos rasgos y el segundo como un rectángulo vertical.
nothing to say about your nice martillo but are you sure about your variations ?? because to execute them you do not use no more the proper latin way to do it -in the clavé- you have to remember that you are responsable of what you show to those beginners out there who like what you do in all those comments. i play the bongo since 44 years so i really need to know if iwas wrong since the beginning. with respect
Thank you very much for the comment! It is always interesting to hear comments from an experienced musician. Will you help me if you specify which variations you had in mind? Some styles of Latin American music can be played as 3-2 or 2-3. It depends a lot on the melody of the song. Therefore, I did not specify which Clave corresponds to the variations and limited myself only to the accompaniment of maracas. The rhythms shown in this video are mostly taken from textbooks, one of them was a book by Bob Evans.
Thank you for your response. I did not express myself clear enough. Sorry about that. I am not talking about the kind of variations you play as it is a personal taste, not even the direction of the clave (even if I think you should have done it but ok..) I just wonder how it is possible to show variations on bongo while there is no bongo in rumba. Do you confirm or do you have infos that would help me in my studies on the subject ? With respect for your work have a good day.
There are some complications with the rumba style. We all know the folk Cuban style of Rumba Guaguanco performed on conga drums or just vegetable crates. But there was also an adapted Rumba performed by orchestras in restaurants - a variety version of it. There is also a Spanish (Gypsy) Rumba - a song with guitars, Cajon and sometimes with Bongos. Cuba combines many traditions: African drum culture, Spanish song culture and others from all over the world. In fact, a rumba is a party of neighbors in the yard, when everyone jams, sings and plays on whatever is possible. I am of the opinion, probably like the author of the textbook Bob Evans, that any style of music can be performed on bongos. You can easily take them with you and when there are no Congas drums at hand, why not play bongos? Naturally, this is not a traditional option - it is an adaptation of the rhythm.@@conga59
@@Drums-and-Percussion-Grooves you’ re absolutely right and I know about all those specificities, that is why I thought that you were about to mention it in your video because beginners may believe that it is normal to play bongo in a rumba. As a Yoruba from Benin I have to take care of this part of my culture so I try to be as clear as possible to avoid misunderstandings etc… that said I thank you for your great work and still following you on TH-cam.
