Carlitos: I’ve been composing music for years that includes Latin, but I’m in dire need of Latin rhythm identification for many of the tunes I’ve written. I know there are others than Samba and bossa novas that I’ve been using for lack of knowledge, and few drummers in my area that are familiar with the rhythms. What I’ve seen of your videos thus far are very helpful and I’d definitely like to learn more: what would you suggest I do? By the way, I just recently discovered Tony Succar and his Afro-Peruvian band that absolutely blew me away! 😎 🎸. Fritz4Bass
Dude this guy opened up a whole new aspect to the drums for me as Latin drums were basically waaaay too foreign for me growing up. Now that I'm aging a little, I think this is dope! Sick beats that will work my coordination out. Thanks big dawg!
Juan Carlito siempre aprendo algo con tus videos,creeme si te digo que sigo a mucha gente del mundo de la musica,y para mi tu eres el number one,un saludo desde Barcelona,salut i musica.
I watch your videos and I'm seriously considering studying Latin drumming grooves exclusively. You clearly love what you do and this is transformed to us. Count me among your subscribers!
Juan Carlito Mendoza Haha visit sometime soon! I just finished practicing and I have to say, your lessons are phenomenal! They really helped me to prepare for my college auditions and improved my understanding of different aspects of my instrument. I really enjoyed learning this today. I also enjoyed your lessons on the half time shuffle. Keep up the great work!
Dude, you are awesome. The amount of respect for the genre, the traditional instrumentation and musical application that you demonstrate (in such short time, I might add) make this the absolute best video one can watch to get into mambo on the drum set.
Have you ever been on a gig and someone asks you to play "Latin?" Well, look no further! In this lesson I teach you 5 mambo grooves that will make you sound authentic.

I usually reply latin...what? 🤣 You play this soo beautiful! 🤗 I love your videos. They makes me happy, to hear your smooth effortless drumming. Latin is really another solar system. One of the hardest styles to play. That requires alien independence and feel. I'll never get to that level of independence, even if this might be considered intermediate level for latin. I've never managed to get my mind around it. I think you'll have to be born in the latin world, and lived it, to really learn it. About the same with most of the world music rythms.
I think it's a combination of things, a lot of it is practice, but the other aspect is really listening to authentic music and playing along to the records to get the right feel.
@@JuanCarlitoMendoza Yes, I agree. I've never really listened to that genre of music. But I wouldn't mind learning at least som basic stuff, but I definately suck at independence. Most genres have somewhat accessable basic level. But latin music have a lot harder basic level. Keep on doing your incredable stuff! 🤗
Mambo, yes. 15" Extra dry Duo Hats, yes. Mario t shirt, yes. My question to you is, out of all the great t shirts you own, why did you choose the Rolling Stones specifically for the Drumeo session.
Fantastic lesson! Using it with my students already cause of how clear it is! For you backing keys and bass lines, are these made by you or is there a program you use? Loving the latin stuff and always look forward to seeing more!
Awesome video! Looking forward to putting some of these grooves together! Hey, one other thing: I notice your cowbell pedal is a direct drive. Is your bass pedal also direct drive? I've always thought of those as more of "metal players pedal?"
Here you go!! All my lesson PDF files will be located on my website as soon as it’s updated. Enjoy! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hi6xnhqcx8c1i9fclzn3f/Mambo-Drum-Set-Applications.pdf?rlkey=22pe6pt8yeeipcy80zr1ar2cr&dl=0
Amazing lessons! Thank you very much! Now, studio producers would really appreciate you doing the same this time without any sort of accompaniment (King of the same you did on Drumeo) Cheers!
Hi Juan, can we use on right hand the cascara pattern as well the different mambo bell pattern in mambo groove? And which bell pattern to choose from slow, mid and high tempo?
Hi Juan. I'm from Portugal (Algarve), and i learn a lot with you, in special on latin beats. Do you have any DVD only with the latin beats? If you do have , can i by that??? And how much cust in € (euros)? Thanks a lot. .
@@JuanCarlitoMendoza , Ok. I go to see and see if is what i need, and want to learn. I want to learn Mambo, Salsa, Cascara, bolero and rhumba for now, but with the cow bell on left foot. If one day you have that in DVD i woodlike to by to you. On te mean time i see if a get that here on youtube in your lessons page. I realy like the way you explain all the things and the way you show us to pratice. Thank you very much :)
hi carlitos !!! my question is.. all this paterns you can used in eny song of salsa?' .. i mean is there a standart patern to use in eny song of salsa?'.... sorry my bad inglish im from argentina!!!
Carlito una pregunta, tienes algún ejercicio para desarrollar la independencia? Puedo tocar este tipo de ritmos, pero cuando intento agregar la clave en el pie izquierdo my brain crashes xD
First off, respect !! Been trying to play such rhythms for a while, and manage somewhat, but definitely do not have that relaxed feel you have yet. Now, my question is, when playing two bells (like in example 5), any particular (musical, traditional or other) reason for playing Bongo Bell with right hand and Timbale bell with left hand and not the other way around? I use the same hand setting, but still, I did wonder. Cheers in advance !
That cowbell set up is just comfortable for me, but you can flip it around. As long as the sounds are correct then you should be good. Hope that helps a little and thanks for checking out the lesson!
Leave your Drumeo questions for me here! Looking forward to answering all of your questions!

Your teaching method is very very easy to understand. Thank you very much for this video.
Double bass drums are cool, but triple cowbells are epic.

Impresionante 👍🏻💪🏻🇪🇸
Excelente lección hermano!

Yeah it's not easy, but I wanted to show the possibilities.
Классный драммер!
Спасибо!
Awesome. Your lessons are among the best out there. Have you done a similar breakdown of Guaguancó or something with rhumba clave?
ricosalomar I have it was my first TH-cam video about 12-13 years ago 😂 it might be time to redo that lesson!
@@JuanCarlitoMendoza I've seen that one, and it's great. You've definitely upped your game since then, though that's hard to believe.
Yes everthing is very good demostración but i would like to see more of the bass drumm and explain more an it please excelente working thanks?
Thanks! I'll try! Got some new equipment so I'll see if I can make it happen!
Fantastic lesson! Using it with my students already cause of how clear it is! For you backing keys and bass lines, are these made by you or is there a program you use?
Loving the latin stuff and always look forward to seeing more!
Awesome 👏
King papi
Awesome video! Looking forward to putting some of these grooves together!
Hey, one other thing: I notice your cowbell pedal is a direct drive. Is your bass pedal also direct drive? I've always thought of those as more of "metal players pedal?"
a video on fills for latin or afro cuban would be great🤔 never know what to play for fills when notated 👍
ur insane. :) thank you!
Glad to help
Nice
Hey Juan, thanx from germany for so much amazing ideas and stuff around the drums!!! Is the PDF-file still available somewhere? Saludos!

Hi Juan.thx so much. Great play alongs too. How can i have this one please?
Drumeo Question: where do i start if i want to learn linear patterns? do i directly go to grooves or fills?
I'll answer this in the Drumeo question and answer video ;)
Excellent video!...can I ask when to use 3-2 clave as opposed to 2-3 clave? Or it doesn't matter... Thx heaps
One more thing Carlitos who did you study with and what books did you study?
I'll answer this in the Drumeo question and answer video ;)
Amazing lessons! Thank you very much! Now, studio producers would really appreciate you doing the same this time without any sort of accompaniment (King of the same you did on Drumeo) Cheers!
The piano reminds me of Widor’s Toccata 😇
LOL! Nice!
This is crazy difficult for me having no background in Latin music, great lesson I need to practice
Yeah will take some time for sure! Just wanted to show some possibilities.
Boss
✌🏻❤️💪🏻
Right on!
bravissimo
The piano parts remind me of Toccata by CM Widor
Thank you ! Awesome lesson..is the tracks you used available as drumless? Gotta get my practice on!
Dope Mario shirt. Where’d you find that one?

Welcome 😊
How do you get ready for a big thing like drumeo was it hard for you
I'll answer this in the Drumeo question and answer video ;)
Carlito una pregunta, tienes algún ejercicio para desarrollar la independencia? Puedo tocar este tipo de ritmos, pero cuando intento agregar la clave en el pie izquierdo my brain crashes xD

Sabor with Adobo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man. I wait for the day you mix it up with Giovanni Hidalgo.
That would be insane!
Can you please tell me where to find that track to play along? Thanks ☺️
I had that track made for me. I don't know if I have it anymore though. Sorry!
Hi Bro I cannot downloud the PDF
my only question is how are you so cool? i wanna be drummer like you
I have alot to learn🤔
Too many years playing Rock and Country, I just can't seem to not play the kick on the downbeat. Any suggestions?
Hello
Hey hope all is well.
I could only dream of this type of Independence. I'm so confused just watching. I can't even get my limbs or brain to work seperately as it is
It just takes some time and effort for sure, but definitely doable!
Just practice really slow. 1=rh only, 2= rh and left foot , etc...
Try practice linear skills and subcoordinate more, it's helps
This needs more cowbell...
😂 Indeed!
I am a drummer who hate cowbel 🤣🤣
How many layers of independence is this? Jeez
I thought It was Rob Scallon for a second
