Man, and here we thought you were just a congero! Add actor/comedian, writer, producer, videographer, and sound technician to your resume!! Your videos just keep getting better and better, Eric!
My ex wife hated me doing this all through house. I beat on everything, steering wheel, cabinets, cooking arroz con gandulez with large spoon….hehe i love it
I love the argument between the 2 conga heads. Not only was this funny, it brought up some good points. At several places i was thinking, "uh oh, thats me!" Really well done
OMG this was one of the best vids you've done! Please do a once a month comedic/educational skit like this. I love it! You make me feel better only having 2 congas & matching bongos. And.....I play rawhide heads cause I couldn't find synthetic to fit my Toca congas. Your son makes the perfect side kick!
That was hilarious!!!! I laughed my ass off because I know each of those characters. I'll admit that I'm the beat maker. I drive my wife and kids nuts. Thank you. This was awesome. Also, team Rawhide.
"I play with everybody." • Twennyfi • Celia Flores (got the biggest laughs. One of my students/band member was laughing so hard I think a little bit of weewee escaped, but he won't cop to it). • Frankie Hernandez Bruh, I f***ing lost it. I showed your vid to my band and you had us tears! 😁😆😅😂🤣. By the way, I'm the player that brings EVERYTHING! LOL! In fact, me and my student/band member actually have a gig on Saturday for $50 each! LOL! This episode was absolutely hysterically funny! Thank you, Eric. UncLe😎
I’m 62 yrs I dnt play at all but I always love the good and great percussionist but as Eric Pérez says I love my day ones my idols will always be the coros Robert ct born in Brooklyn of course Georgi Padilla Eddie montalvo Milton Cardona Papo Pepin just to name a few love your videos and my veterans will always live forever 🇵🇷👍
Dude! Imma say you nailed it! I've seen them all in 30 years playing percussion. I've seen more of the brings-all-instruments and the 30-tumbao, doing-too-much players... But dude, you had me cracking up the whole time... 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I work in a school and kids have been drumming on desks, chairs w/pencils/etc since the one rom school house was invented. as a child, oatmeal boxes were our drums
Just read all the comments and I agree. You are a great percussionist and yes a great comedian. Always enjoyed your classes but as a funny man? You had me rolling, my wife though I was watching stand up comedy. Keep up the good work and God bless. From a rican from florida😆😆😆😆
WOW DUDE! I have been [and still am] toooooo many of those guys!!! Rhythms on everything! Conga, bongó, darbuka, djembe, ashiko, dunadún and tons of «FOUND» and created instruments..... except Mr. Synthetic. Unless I am playing my Pearl FFX snare- Then it is ON!! Power Dot Mylar or KEVLAR!!!! Really I love your videos! You are doing great work! I am sure Tata G. smiles on you from above!! Charlie L
Man is funny that yesterday I went to a thrift shop to buy some cds and I encounter myself with a retired conguero who brought out pictures and everything from back when he played. It was actually nice to talk to that dude
Bro!!! 🤣 So many funny moments in this video, I laughed so hard! Especially the "Retired conguero" and the guy who does to much🤣🤣🤣 I lost it on the "why are you playing Merengue?" And the Celia Flores bit! Great skits man!
I laughed so hard Brother Eric, that was entertaining. You're to young to remember got me every time you said it. You're little Man killed me when finally spoke.
That’s my man, conga life... master Conguero the like of poncho and Giovanni, in my humble opinion.... que viva El Salvador que viva las salsa, saludos my bro from a Rican congahead lol
That was highly entertaining! I'm the one with the good ole rawhide on motley collection of congas that came my way and had a bit of all the characters tucked away in my psyche. Ha Hey
I am just now seeing this video for the first time and Marktaz1 said exactly what I was thinking after enjoying this super funny video. Great job Eric I already shared it with a friend who would totally get the humor. Thanks
Whoooooo... hahaha jajaja ... no contaban con tu astucia 🤪.... increible, te voy a mandar un oscar por ser 'Best Actor in the Category SLAPstick" ..... 🤗
Awesome video and funny because there are congueros like that. I my self is just a drum dabbler and I do tap drum beats on my metal kitchen sink for the hollow sounds and on my self I actually tap my self. Kinda crazy. I like both types of conga heads but the synthrtic makes me think of pie crust. Please do a djembe video and a bachata for bongos video. It would also be great if you can do very fast stick patterns for guiro video. Keep knockin em out.
A Percussion Life And the fact that I’m getting my bongos in like two days and I’ve found you I’ll always rely on you to help me figure it out from your videos
Jajajaja...someday I was "my bad",and i think that all of we are,more or less,a beat makers.I Will put another one.the "i don't listen/i don't mind" what are playing the others.You know,for example someone Who start a solo when he/she want,like ra ta pa ta pa tun pa ta outside time and clave and very quite,like is normally,bien relajado como que todo fluye y todo va bien,ya tú sabes.muy bueno el too Young too Young jajaja
Thank you for being such an amazing, accessible, humble playful teacher. This one is just pure JOY!!
Man, and here we thought you were just a congero! Add actor/comedian, writer, producer, videographer, and sound technician to your resume!! Your videos just keep getting better and better, Eric!
His eye contact when he goes out, again, to get another drum "I'll be right back.." = ACTIIIING!!!!
That's me the "my bad" guy. LOL
4:38 and 7:45 are the funniest and truest sections! Good job mimicking these!!!
Bro - You nailed it. So funny.
I know I’m not the only who went back to hear that fire 😂😂😂man was doing to damn much. 😂
My ex wife hated me doing this all through house. I beat on everything, steering wheel, cabinets, cooking arroz con gandulez with large spoon….hehe i love it
I really enjoy this video, you did it so good, Im 66 years old playing congas since 1968 and you know what Eric....." u r so young !!!! Hhaahhaaa!!!👍🤗
Damn
“Calm down bro it’s okay” 😂😂
I love the argument between the 2 conga heads. Not only was this funny, it brought up some good points. At several places i was thinking, "uh oh, thats me!" Really well done
"Hey... you're... you're doing too much..". 🤣. "bro! Calm down."

Coño te la comiste monstruo. When the old timer mentioned Frankie Hernandez I thought it was Bobby's and Impacto Crea fame

"No, no, no...Célia Flores." 😂
MAN! this acting surpasses all music joke expectations. you've got a star personality!
What about music puns
4:50 is the best changui drum lesson I've ever seen ;)
You have to treat your $50 gigs like your $500 gigs. Dedication 🤣🥁💪
I work in a school and kids have been drumming on desks, chairs w/pencils/etc since the one rom school house was invented. as a child, oatmeal boxes were our drums
For the 50 years, I've been ALL of these guys! LOL
😂😂😂😂😂. I actually know some Viejos that sound just like that!!!
LOL! Love it Eric. Are you taking medication to deal with all these personalities? Lol.
Just read all the comments and I agree. You are a great percussionist and yes a great comedian. Always enjoyed your classes but as a funny man? You had me rolling, my wife though I was watching stand up comedy. Keep up the good work and God bless. From a rican from florida😆😆😆😆
