Beautiful drum sound -and playing of course!
What a fantastic, in-depth lesson. Took me back almost 40 years. I figured after that long it was time for a refresher.
God bless you Rick and thank you so much for all your lessons 😊
Thank you Rick! I was teaching this to a student and ran across this video. I am grateful to have studied with you personally!

Hi Rick,
For Abakwa i've seen some books with this rhythm - Is this another type of Abakwa variation?
In triplet: ( 123 -23 1-3 12- )
// pardon the crude notation, hard to type out in text. //
Hi
There are many Abakwa variations. These came from Djembe rhythms I play and are a conglomeration of the full percussion section as in Brazilian drum set grooves. The African grooves have less separate perc. instruments then the Brazilian grooves but the 2 against 3 feeling needs to be there. Abakwa is usually also slower then many of the other 6/8 grooves.
Hello Rick..I would request you to breakdown each rhythm a little more simple as it will be helpfull in learning for example in terms of (RLRLL...) format..By the way I am Mohit from India..I am really fascinated by the Afro Cuba rhythms.Thank very much..
This is the drumming I want to know about!
