- Here's a quick breakdown on a Tumbao Poncho Sanchez did on his song "La Familia"... Much respect to that man for changing the way I viewed the congas!

La Familia by Poncho is one of my favorites, and that sax solo brings tears to my eyes! One of the best things my ears have encountered.
Poncho and his band were my first love on latin jazz. Giovanni and Richie are martians, Poncho has that warmess of a human conga player. Thank you Erick.
Papa Gato yeah!...thought I recognized the artwork!! Pan Dulce...Manteca etc...so good bro
Poncho was my hero growing up. Met him when I was 18 and man, he is as cool as I thought he would be. Glad I could learn a bit how to play like him.
To me, Poncho is just classy and tasteful. He never seems too showy or elaborate, and he isn't trying to imitate an orchestra, always discreet and tasteful.
By the way, Eric, it takes a true conguero to get so much out of a conga passage; love to hear how excited you are hearing all the nuances of a particular pattern, like the Familia example. Cheers!
I saw Poncho on the cover of Modern Drummer about 20 yrs ago, then I saw he was coming to town. So I gave it a try, it was my first taste of Latin Jazz at Yoshis' in Oakland, CA.
Oh Mang! 🤌
🔥Poncho Sanchez🔥
Hi man! i'm an italian guy grown up with djembè and Santana's songs... a few months ago I started playing congas watching videos about Raul rekow, my idol, and Giovanni hidalgo..i think they're aliens..but you man, you opened my mind with your videos! thank you very much for these.. you're teaching very well..
Michele Zanin Thank you sooooo much!
My idol is Ray Barreto. I use to listen to my dads records when he was at work. He was very protective of his vinyls so I had to make sure I placed them back perfectly. Poncho is the man!! I appreciate your vids man. Your keeping the spirit of congas alive. ✌
Thank you!!! I do plan to do a Ray Barreto vid... so I hope it meets your approval haha
You’re a good teacher who is passionate about what you do. That’s a great combination. Keep up the good work.
My brother, Poncho is the Maestro of Maestros! He plays with Purpose!!
Many Thanks.....Love Poncho...his break down videos for Latin jazz are great.....so many great players to learn from.
Eric, loove poncho Sanchez looooove him another inspiration of mine!! Looooove that album by the waaaay love that song just wowza!!!! Thanks for this & will always credit Pancho!!!! Man that saxophone player just like wow with Pancho's conga playing man I am in looooove with it!!!
Good conga grooves my man. Solid tight.
Estoy viendo tus vídeos desde hace mucho tiempo, y tengo que darte las gracias por ellos y por la forma que nos explicas las todo ,a
mi me estás haciendo crecer y avanzar como músico percusionísta . Soy músico amateur muy autodidacta y con maestros esporádicos. coincido contigo en la investigación y admiración por los grandes maestros de los cuales siempre intento aprender algo. Y solo decirte:
MUCHAS GRACIAS Eric , Barcelona, España
I've been watching your videos for a long time, and I have to thank you for them and for the way you explain everything to us,
You are making me grow and advance as a percussionist musician. I am a very self-taught amateur musician with sporadic teachers. I agree with you in the research and admiration for the great masters of whom I always try to learn something. And just tell you:
THANK YOU Eric, Barcelona, Spain
Amen thanks for your instructions very good easy to understand muchísimas gracias
Ponchos sound is in my opinion is minimalist. By that I mean that “Less is better”. He keeps it simple but has a unique style. He reminds me of Manny Oquendo (Timbalero) the leader of Orchestra Libre. They play only the sounds that are necessary and are not concerned with speed. Giovanni is amazing in that his speed and complexity, along with his control was extraordinary to say the least!
So happy to watch you videos. I enjoy your approach and the content of your work. Bless..!
For sure after this...I`m gonna listen again "La Familia" to check all this information. Thanks one more time Eric !!
Thank you!!!
Love your channel, man. Be encouraged.
Great video 👍 Poncho is one cooool Dude😎
We meet a few years ago😎👍
He even came to my house and jammed on a set of Congas made for him over 30 years ago, signed them too🙏 Now I play on a set of Congas made for Poncho, Fantastic sound🎼Thanks for this lesson on how Poncho plays too cool 😎😎
Poncho is super musical. His playing is super tasty. Big influence for me. My favourite of his is afro-cuban fantasy. Hid version of Ican is fire also
as a fellow player i like where ur head is at music wise plus you are a excellent player ,keep up the good work bro
Thank you for those words!
Yet another great video. Nice work! I just listened to "La Familia" for the first time. Thanks for the hand-me -down. I can absolutely see why this one sparked a reawakening, epiphany, etc. the first time you heard it. A super talented and humble upright bass player once told me, "be subtle, and drop bombs." For me that meant, it's the notes you don't play (Maybe cliche, but don't care). Poncho's solo reminds me of just that; super concise, accurate, stripped down and refined. Good one. Thanks.
michael lavin Yessss! EXACTLY!!! His solo on this particular song is outright perfect!
My friend Jay Bereck (Master Craftsman of Skin On Skin Drums) so said it best to me in a convo last November....”space is a sound too...”.
b0fjk80 l agree with you ttotally.that area of silence between the slaps and open are like cliffhangers that misteriuoly open the door to someone's technique. Space after all IS the final frontier.
Another Classic from U!
Thank U Sir!
Tanmoy Banerjee Thank You!
If I was u and playing I would not know what I am playing... you probably know 150 different tumbaos.:) probably your own tumbao is a monster. Thanks for helping us out and solve these for us. All the best hermano
Great work brother!
Thank for sharing!
You make me want to learn more and practice.
GOD Bless!
Hector Rivera thank you!!!
Excelente!!! buenos ejercicios y clara explicación ... quiero aprender mas!!!!
Thank you for your video s bro very helpful... May I add that Poncho is one of the most humblest musician you can ever meet.God bless you
Completely Agree! Thank you!
Gracias un moton. Love the videos. Blessing.. Una bendicion.
Sweet!
Great Video Conguero!!! Every percussionist put some spice on any pattern..as you Man. Nice!! Very importat to me as a student to see videos like this.
Carlos Novaes Awesome!!! Glad this helped!

Haha! I remember that compilation too! :)
Saw Poncho live maybe a decade ago. He was fun!
If you guys would like to know where that mini clip of poncho came from look up poncho Sanchez kimballs east
Poncho is the MAN!!! awesome dude too..
Hi Eric. Congratulations for your lessons, they help me a lot.
I want to give you 2 pieces of advice:
1) When you explain a new pattern it would be great to know which is the beat count. In some videos you do, in others you don´t.
2) Please explain the positon of the clave in each excercise. This will help a lot of us that are beginning to learn these stuff.
Thanks in advance! Love your work.
Thanks I just learned something new. Keep up the great work.
Glad to hear it! Thank you!
This talk to my sycopeation addiction very sweetly! Lot to learn... Lot to learn
Clean really informative,,,I like to transcribe to charts because as we age a lot of patterns we don't recall. Also, it helps if you break into studio musician scene your value soars. Helpful if you also include the chart of each pattern you share.Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the excellent videos. I'm still having a hard time getting my head around something. Maybe you can help me out. I have no issues with technique - I've been a drumset player for 20 years who has a strong understanding of odd times, rudiments etc. Here is where I am stuck: I am having a difficult time understanding two aspects of musicality: When is it acceptable to make up your own rhythm/groove//tumbao and how often and in what situations should one improvise within or spice up a standard tumbao? I'm very self-conscious about perhaps being too creative and doing too much of my own thing coming from a progressive rock and jazz kit background where that's more of the point.
As always awesome! Got a question for you. And I know you're a busy guy, so no rush. How much time do you spend practicing evey week? And what do you mainly focus on while you practice? Thanks Eric!
Honestly it really depends on the week.... I can tell you that I study congas either by listening or watching some video everyday for at least an hour.... but sitting down in front of my set... sometimes if I’m too busy maybe only 1 hour in a whole week... and i have a practice routine to warm up and then I practice whatever I was listening to or watching during that week.
Hi Eric, can you please clarify: the first open tone is just before Beat 1, am I right? So the first ghost note (left hand) is Beat 1.
Hello my friend, I am a big fan of your clips and I would like to ask if you know how to part the 6/8 rythm of Poncho Sanchez and show it step by step? Thank you very much!!! Gunnar from germany
Poncho is a student of Mongo Santamaria, as he followed Mongo in Cal Tjader's band. BTW there are several versions of the Guaguanco. Habana and Matanzas are just two. Keep up the good work.
Bobby Tee
Buen recurso!
my left ear enjoyed this video
I love that ghosting. Wow!!!!
No offense ,I didn't quite get that this was a tumbao. I do agree with you regarding Giovonni . He 's was fast but Poncho is my favorite because of his phrasing. I just listened to La Familia. Nice track. Check out the solo that Poncho does on Descarga Cubana if you haven't already heard it. Finally I do like your videos
I am thinking that this is based on the 3-2 son clave. since the (&3)tumbadora & (4&)conga are the same as in the 3 side variation normal tumbao.
Awesome video,Where did you get the worship t-shirt?
Thank you! artofhomage.com/
thank you, true awesomeness
Poncho is the best, most musical conguero of ever...but really, really he had learning from Mongo Santa Maria...his make infact the same phrases in his solo ever...
See what happens when you too good people forget to comment and give a like good stuff man thank you I hope by some freak Miracle we get to play together someday it would be a very very good thing more power to your endeavors
Man, for the next video, could you count it out or sing the clave while you play it? It guides you through the feel of the groove. Thanks. Cheers.
Juan Francisco Segovia thanks and will do!!!
Question is that a quinto as your main drum? Also.. When are we gonna hear the famous "Eric Perez tumbao"
No... It's actually a Conga 11.75"... and Hopefully one day I'll break down my own haha
Nice, coming from an african percussion background this is a way more natural rhythm for me. like kpanlogo drumming from ghana. cheers
Can I start out with just one drum or if I'm serious...should I try to get at least two drums to start? And, what is your honest opine of the LP Matador? Or would I be better off saving more money for better drums but used? Thanks very much.
hawkrider88 it’s always best to start off with two.... just because Just One may limit your development BUT getting just one drum is a great place to start either way.... the LP Matadors are a great choice for affordable drums... good shape and wood and they’re workhorses... can’t go wrong with them if those are your first drums... there are more affordable choices like Meinl or Toca... just good to explore before making that kind of purchase
hawkrider88 Traditionally a drummer played one drum but times have changed. Matadors used to suck but I hear they are better now. Get the best drum you can afford. Good drums tones are more inspiring.
I love Matadors. Played them for years.
I looked in the app store could not find the insta tuner Please help thank you
Bro yo uso las Remo Poncho Sanchez series,es un set de conga y quinto sumamente robustas pesadas se llaman Tuff N’ UFF uso remo heads nuskyn sinteticas por supuesto creanme las escoji gracias a que vi un video de el tocando esas congas man!!! Que calidad de sonido,para mi Poncho es como Mongo ellos son finos no son mucho para el traqueteo son mas detallados asi como el Mr. Patato. Osea son el Merecedes Benz al tocar
I am a Salsa dancer so I usually count 12345678 but I know musicians count the 12342234. as the clave spreads across 2 four counts. Now on that logic where does this pattern start? on the 1?
Tú puedes colocar subtítulos en español se puede colocar de forma automática TH-cam los coloca automáticamente solo debes de ingresar a configuración de subtítulos, duplicar los subtítulos de inglés y publicar y luego crear unos nuevos en el idioma que desees y listo recomiendo mucho los de español 😊🙏
Gracias!!! Aquí está la versión en español

can you do vid on Anga Diaz?
slimeronio of course I will... in the next couple of weeks I’ll have that one up.
Hi dude, im a fellow musician (Auxiliary percussionist). I've been going through all your videos to get my hand technique, and I was wondering if you had any Timbale Knowledge you can spill on me. Thanks again for all your help
Thanks you! And yes I do... I plan to do a couple of videos and the near future touching on some Timbal stuff. I was actually a Timbalero before playing congas soooo it'll be fun.
A Percussion Life fuck yeah man. Can't wait
Jesse Torres hahaha neither can I man!
The open tone on your right hand is on 4 + and not on the 1. And I play it with my left hand.
Nice! Thanks bro'... wrshp the Lord!👍
Bro if you made a shirt I’d support
Eres muy bueno, pero por favor algo en idioma español, gracias
The title should not be “how to”. it should be let me tell you a story about Poncho Sanchez
Hey...It's not Thursday yet!
DiscoCat1019 haha Don’t worry... there’s still a video for Thursday haha
Show me la magia del 3 mas 2.
Love some timba huh... I'll go to that eventually
They are awesome tho... Habana D'Primera has been my fav for awhile
my dad used to say,too much estalking
The Cubans acknowledge that Giovanni is the GOAT! Although Poncho is one of the best! Poncho is closer to Mongo! My opinion!
Show me how to snap a girl in and out of the room like that lol
Dude, you really talk too much.
