- Here is Conga lesson #4.
This lesson demonstrates how to play several Jazz, Rock, Pop and Odd-Time rhythms.
These grooves are from my book Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion. There are many more variations in the book. You can read more about the book here:

Soon I hope.
What would you like to see?
@@rickdior First of all thanks !!
Every day I watch lessons 1 2 3 and 4
Your version of the partido alto (lesson 3) is gorgeous! I'd like to learn a method of building that and similar grooves without slowing down the video 🤔😅 Also I would be happy to see more solo grooves to be performed on 2 congas
Thank you again
Ok Matteo
I will see what I can do.
Stay well
@@rickdior thanks
Can you recommend any jazz music/releases with conga that isn't Latin jazz? Sometimes I'll catch some music that is very jazzy and it has congas in there but its not really Latin jazz. Sounds like something from the sixties/seventies maybe? I know Miles went through a period where he had a conga player and Pharoah Sanders is someone I discovered on youtube... but if you knew of any great non-latin jazz albums with conga on it that you could recommend, that would be great!
Hi
One record I really like is Merry-Go-Round by Elvin Jones. They do a version of La Fiesta on there that's great. Don Alias is on congas and he is pretty much the best (in my opinion) at non-traditional conga playing in jazz and pop music. You can also hear him with pop artists like Joni Mitchell (especially the album Mingus). You can also hear him on recordings with Nina Simone, Miles, Jack DeJohnette, Roberta Flack, David Sanborn, Herbie Hancock and many others.
@@rickdior Great, thanks I appreciate it :)
When you do your heel toe you seem to put some side to side motion into it. Is there a rationale for that or is it just a personal style thing?
Matt Chikudo Moore I’ve seen players do this without side to side - it’s just personal style. Do what feels best - what keeps your hands and wrists healthy and fluid is the best style!
I play a lot of other hand percussion like udu drums and frame drums so that side to side motion comes from that. It's really a matter of preference. As long as it sounds good and works for you don't worry about the side to side motion.
only the score of the pop rhythm was missing, very good!
LOL
I guess you will have to buy the book
heck , Im sorry, i see that Im on lesson 4 , that means there are 3 ahead of me,,,,,,,,,jezzz what a moron. thanks for the pep talk, i will go direct from here on out. i JUST so excited...
what is the difference between bongos and congas?
This would best be explained by doing an internet search on congas and look at some pictures. Then do the same with the bongos. The huge size difference will be obvious as well as the role they play in many types of music.
@@rickdior thank you. I just saw you have a video about it.
@@rickdior can we play kongo with only 2 congos or has to be 3?
