    Great video, William! So on the counting topic I'd add in pop one count the 8th notes (1 to 4) and on salsa/other latin rhythms one count the 16th notes (also 1 to 4). The latter also being called "double time" on drums. Therefore counting 1 to 4 on "double time" you land the 1 on the "and" note right after 2 and 4 of the 8th note counting (or "pop counting").
    I've been playing drums for some years and was able to catch this!! Thanks again for the video!

    Das was up. Using bongo as a normal drum is great. Works nice in acoustic rock too.

    IMPRESSIVE playing & instruction, William!!! Any chance of tutorial on mini bongos? (favor their sound & more comfortable "handling"...)

    Nice, so you are playing the rhythm like it is sixteenth notes instead of eight notes to get that unique sound in 4/4. So I guess you can say we are playing cut time or 2/2 (bongo) over a 4/4 (drums). :) Salsa....

      Excellent observation. In another video/reprise I mentioned that this was a sixteenth note pulse but then realized I wasn’t recording the audio so it didn’t make the video. This is partly why I decided to make this a part of a larger series. You are spot on in your observation. Often percussionists trained in African Diaspora and other traditions feel the groove in cut time. This is what I love about learning different traditions and then borrowing from them (in a respectful manner of course)... so many options to create sauce! Thanks for the wonderful feedback!
