Sometimes I need a simple pattern to fall into as I try to figure out what the band director is trying to signal. Having rhythms like these "in my pocket" is super handy. Thanks!!
We agree,we bought Bongos years ago and was ready to toss it out. The issue was with no training we did not know placement. Our fingers got sore hitting the rim. So every one lost interest . Now we are energized. So, thanks Kalani. Also sharing this with readers: My sibling has a bruise lip from the Trumpet. My best friend has hearing loss from his gigs. Now to produce music entertainment without the side effects?
Hi @WORLDDRUMCLUB love the amazing bongo beat from this video can you do the same beat for this video and explain it to some Spanish bongo drummer viewers please 🙏
I would love to hear you suggest is different bongo patterns to different song beats. 4/4 3/4 6/8. What I would *really* like to hear is snippets of actual songs (if you don’t get into copyright problems).
Please guid us where do you get these patterns to download, with these beautiful paternities which is much better than metronome I can play my bongo and have fun for hours.
@@WORLDDRUMCLUB Thank you. I didn't mean for that to sound like a complaint. It is just that as a beginner I was really holding on by the tail! Thank you for these videos and introducing us to new percussive elements!
Kalani, I recently found you and love every video you make, thank you for the time and effort. one question, where can i find the background tracks that you use in your lessons?
Thank you. I post most of the audio for these videos in a google drive folder that is available to patrons of the channel. Http://patreon.com/kalani If you choose to join (if you haven’t already), you will have access to all the audio, video, and notation (plus lots of other videos)
ATTENTION BONGO FANS....FOUND 1928-29' Havana Cuba SOUND/FILM FOOTAGE OF A COUPLE OF CLOSE-UP SOLOS! [[start following video at 24:51]]>> 1928-1929: Early Sound Footage of Havana, Cuba PS, I have had excellent success using old X-RAY NEGATIVES for bongo heads! BTW the black scrapes right off once you tighten the head and play it for a few days, so look like a normal clear head.
I recommend perhaps getting yourself a tuning key or a tool of some king that fits the little bolts that tighten the skin to your drum. Loosen for more boom, tighten for more pop, Just be sure to turn each tuning peg an equal amount, and dont turn too much or you’ll have a loose skin thats out of tune. Bare in mind, you may just have a pair of trebley bongos, which aren’t bad, but perhaps not that deep sound you were after. A shallow, high pitched bongo can only tune down so low. Remember that.
The backing track sounds a lot like a Brazilian maracatú song called Princess a dona Inês witch is also a key beat in candomblé religion over in Brazil
Hello. I've recently gotten a pair of LP performer Series bongos and I'm struggling with the sound of them. When I tune them up they tend to have a lot of really bad overtones that sometimes change in pitch a half step when I play the same stroke with another hand. I checked if the tuning was even and if the hardware was decent and both seem to be right. So I've started to think that maybe my technique was off. When I play, I hit the drum with the last third of my ring, middle, and pointer fingers and let the tips bounce off. should I instead let parts of my fingers stay on the drum to mute the overtones? or is my playing good and it's the drum skin that may need replacement? Thanks.
I bought a bongo set LP Aspire 601, size "6 3/4-8". I can't get the distinctive crisp and high pitch that i hear on most videos about bongos. The highest note i can get safely on the macho is less than 330 Hz, which is E3 on piano. I guess the macho diameter head is too small and i should have bought a bigger model.
ive watched 3 of these videos now. can you do something other than an open sound? if you want a demonstration of a bongo player CWW Phoenix Percussion has a few videos
I like your content but I really don't think you do a good job at explaining the rhythm. Can you perhaps break down the rhythm more and go step by step? A Percussion Life has a great teaching method for example
Usually your video are interesting and well done but this one really doesn't share the traditional grooves that define the Bongo role in the music history. It's a pity seeing a lot of fake knowledge online nowadays. Thank you.
We got our first set of bongos and your videos are teaching us a lot... thank you!!
My pleasure
you perfectly illustrate the difference between teaching (which you do) and showing which many think is teaching

Glad to hear. Simple is good
Love your musical perspective and teaching style Bro!

Some of these were do fast that even at 25% I couldn't even keep pace!
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll take that into consideration when making future videos.
@@WORLDDRUMCLUB Thank you. I didn't mean for that to sound like a complaint. It is just that as a beginner I was really holding on by the tail! Thank you for these videos and introducing us to new percussive elements!
How did you do this with your Fingers? Its like you walk with them
What is that drum app called:
Where to get these backing tracks
I was wondering,how can we try to play any tune (Salsa),by just trying to listen to Bongosero within the tune?
Bongos lovely
Very educated!! Good job kalani!...
Thanks Rezy
What kind of bongos are you playing? What size?
Wow cool man

I found the backing track too busy, so it confused the bongo sound.
But can you play the dk bongos
Hello My teacher🙋♀️ Can you please add a Turkish translation? You guys are great. Thank you very much.💙
Rythym needs no translation my friend 👀
@@deanharding740 🙏🙏🙏🙋♀️
Could you recommend a good app that is like a metronome so I can follow to as I learn to play my bongos? Thanks in advance.
Loop to learn. gotcha.
Drum Jam is fun. Loop2Learn also good.
MORE BONGOS!!!!
Hi I like your bongos tone ,, can u tell me the name of your bongos and from where can I buy it like same your bongos Thanks
My small bongo doesn't really have a pitch to it, it just sounds like the hide I'm hitting. Any advice? Great video as well thank you :)

Buena lección! Cabeza de pinga
Its easy to learn without the music being played..
Usually your video are interesting and well done but this one really doesn't share the traditional grooves that define the Bongo role in the music history. It's a pity seeing a lot of fake knowledge online nowadays. Thank you.
speak in hindi
Bullshit rhythms. Real afro Cuban stuff never sounds like this. And that is where the bongo comes from
Got a video with the actual rhythms then?
Que merda é essa ?
speak in Hindi because the national language is hindi
clearly it's for an english audience
an internation audience
Sir hindi maybe hai
Is there a rule on which hand is the leading hand to start the beats?
