    HeyEric, just been listening to Armando's great and stunningly superb bongo work on la Fuente Del Ritmo from Caravanserai. Maybe, possibly and quite probably the most sublime and amazing bongo playing since bongos were invented..?

    Eric, I am really enjoying the variety of material you are putting out. Trying this new material is really helping my playing and some of the material is making into my general repertoire. I am sure this the same for many others. Keep it going, it’s great what you are doing... I have a request :) I am enjoying exploring 6/8 on two congas currently and wondered if there was any good transitions to and from 4/4 and 6/8 Cuban style rhythms you could demonstrate. This happens sometimes within samba, switching between a 4/4 samba swing into a short 6/8 section and back again. It sounds great and I’d like to be able to do this in a Cuban rhythm setting.

    Ive always treated bongos as just really high pitched quintos in patterns. Not sure if that's right but its gotten me by.

    Thanks for another great video Eric. If anyone can listen to that beat without moving some part of their body, they must be dead. ;)
    Q: What bongo stand do you use? Maybe you can add it to the gear list in the description?
    Thanks again brother!

  • @revkelly58

    When I started playing bongos with the band I stated, “ now with tasteful bongo fills” I was told tasteful and bongos couldn’t be used in the same sentence.

  • @MiTimbalVideos
    @MiTimbalVideos 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video like always.. Just a heads up.. Try changing your front lead camera angle so you not strait shooting. Away from the glare of the bongos hardware so possible to see you hand hitting the bongos heads.. God bless

    Kelly Lambert,
    Since your using the rubber feet. Any problems with tilting your main drum while your playing ?

    • @revkelly58
      @revkelly58 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Felipe Hernandez . I can play my main drum and still tilt a little bit. Or I can have my tumba on the feet and play conga without and tilt. Mostly use rubber feet on both so I don’t have to “ hang on “ to drums with legs, and just concentrate on playing.

  • @felipehernandez511
    @felipehernandez511 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Eric , I noticed you always have your drums on the floor. Do you put anything under each one and what is it ??

    • @APercussionLife
      @APercussionLife  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes... I have serving trays under each drum.

      Someone suggested cuts of wood under each one. Can you tell me why you use trays versus anything else and what type of trays?
      I’ve got Remo Fiberskyn heads and they sound very high pitched! I’m having a hard time tuning them. Help !!

    • @revkelly58
      @revkelly58 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Felipe Hernandez. Myself, I use LP rubber conga feet. Lifts the drums up around an inch or more, lets the sounds out even if floor is carpeted.

    Do you always play with your ring? I have to take mine off so I don't break my finger and don't get the ckick from my ring hitting the rim or the head.

    • @APercussionLife
      @APercussionLife  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Normally yes.... the ring I use is a “rubber ring”... or an “athletic ring”... so it causes no injury or damage to either my finger or the drums.

    • @musicman53able
      @musicman53able 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you. We should try hooking up sometime and share percussion knowledge sometime. My name is Greg Allen, but my musician friends call me ChilleG, and used to play with a professional jazz group called Max Groove. If you'd like to check out one of his most famous songs, TH-cam a song called Fiesta Sol. I think you'll like it. Keep on doing what you're doing!
