- Here is Part 3 of a multi-part video series on modern Latin drumming.
This lesson explains some modern ways to play the Mambo rhythm.
I also demonstrate some soloing ideas.
My book, Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion, is used for all of the playing examples.
The equipment I am using consists of:
Pork Pie Drums
20"x 16" Bass Drum
Toms: 8"x 8", 10"x8", 14"x1 2"
Canopus Zelkova 14"x 5" Snare Drum
Porkpie 10"x 5" Snare Drum
Cymbals are Sabian 20" Jack DeJohnette Signature Ride with rivets
Paiste Traditional 16" and 17" crashes and a 10" traditional splash
Sabian HH 13" Regular Hi-Hats
Sabian 12" AA Mini Hats
Wuhan 20" thin Lion Cymbal
Cowbells are J.C.R and L.P
Heads on toms are Remo Pinstripes
Bass drum is an Aquarian Power stroke 1 head.
Snare is a Remo Skyntone head
Microphones are a AKG C24 stereo overhead and an AKG D112 on the Bass drum
Latin Fusion is a combination of many Latin Styles (most notably Afro-Cuban and Brazilian) mixed with Funk and Jazz drumming.
Some examples of drummers who have contributed to the modern Latin Fusion drumming style include:
Alex Acuna
Airto
Cliff Almond
Robby Ameen
Julio Barreto
Steve Berrios
Ignacio Berroa
Vince Cherico
Vinnie Colaiuta
Adam Cruz
Duduka Da Fonseca
Steve Gadd
David Garibaldi
Horacio Hernandez
Portinho

I got a fever and I need more cowbell! fantastic independence
I am going to buy that book and break bread with you it’s been such a fun experience watching your videos
Simply the best.
I love the Mambo! I first learned the Mambo from a teacher in Plymouth Michigan. And he was missing his right hand index finger! Then I studied with Gene Stewart - who played with Alan Dawson while they were in the Army. He taught me a different way to Mambo. As an aside - Gene looked like Moe in the The Three Stooges. He was white and dyed his hair a reddish blonde. Gene was Motowns first real studio drummer. No color in the studio of course. After studying with Gene, JC Heard, Larry Londin for a few lessons before Gene, and others. I became a drummer in the USMC. My hats off to you! I love latin rhythms - and you know them and play them so well! You obviously learned those grooves as a kid! I recently started playing again. Latin and Afro-Cuban is what I intend to study once I get my hands and feet together. ( I love those multi cowbell patterns!)
I know I speak for many in the drum community when I say this - "Thank You for sharing your years of study, playing, and knowledge, with others that want to learn."
Thank You

Mambo is a very nice rhythm ,bit is there a basic groove to play it? Because on drums it is not easy to play it .

Groove #2 that I demonstrate could be considered the basic Mambo to play when you are not performing with a conga player. Groove #1 is the one you should use if you are playing with a conga player. You could play your foot H.H on quarters if the clave is too difficult.
It's spiritual ??
