How I Developed Speed on Congas

- Not much of a Tutorial, but just some exercises that helped me develop my speed on congas throughout the years.
Speed is not everything when it comes to percussion, but it does help you become a better overall percussionist.
Some of the exercises were influenced by Giovanni Hidalgo and Paoli Mejias.
I'm using:
My Conga- amzn.to/2D0SXjS
My Camera- amzn.to/2F67StK
My Main Mic - amzn.to/2AwUFGM
My Lighting - amzn.to/2qwcsOA
My Other Camera- amzn.to/2CvX9ah
My Main Lens- amzn.to/2qwcc20
My Second Lens- amzn.to/2CvHsQk
My Cheap Mic- amzn.to/2CIoXfw
My Recording Mic- amzn.to/2CWmxGX
My Gig Mic- amzn.to/2D0e2KY
My Audio Interface- amzn.to/2qykfeR
InEarz- IE-P350

I love that one of the first things you say is that speed isn't everything - I completely agree. As you said, melody, tone, flavor, deep knowledge of the clave - all extremely important. That being said, I can appreciate how much time you put into developing your sound and it's impressive to see how fast and tasty you play. Excellent work!

Wow, nice coordination and speed. Man, you make percussion "sound" easy.
Its A lotta slow and patient practice.
I will quote Giovanni H. "la mano secreta es practic."
Thank you for the share.

Great video man , I'm already trying them triples,
Great tips! Thank you!
Hi Eric, Thanks for your Videos! I have one question about your Palladium Congas. Do you also have a 14" Supertumba and if yes, does it also gives many overtones? I have one with many overtones and i think about a new, thicker head, the lp head on it is just 1,5mm thick. I think about a 2,5-3 mm head, what would you say? Thanks a lot and kind regards from Germany.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing, keep on keeping on Conguero.
Daniel T Peace to tune up your drums if you don't mind me answering tighten or loosen the nuts on the side according to the sound you want to get everything should be close to the same sound sometimes people like to have the left side or the right side a little higher or a little lower all depends on how they want to play you can do the same the adjustment doesn't have to be perfect it just has to sound good moisture and heat will slightlychange the tone although neither one will affect the quality of the skin long-term even water damage is okay although they are not waterproof they are water resistant
Nice technique! Do you use different tunings for different 5 drum gigs? I usually play 3 but I'm experimenting with 5. Any advice for tunings?
Thank you. And I do tune differently when I'm out playing but it depends on the gig... Generally I do: Quinto- A, Conga- C, Tumba- B ( i play that to my left) Super Tumba G (to my right) and Second Super Tumba- E... with more ethnic styles I'll sometimes switch things up and tune Quinto- G, Conga- D#, Tumba- C#, Super Tumba- B (right), Cuper Tumba to my left a D#... But its cool on the different melodies you can get when experimenting notes as long as their range isn't so far apart.
Impressive!
Nice job bro .
your main conga in your lap which size" is that and which cord do you have it tuned to? thanks
It's great. Thankyou so much.
How long have you been playing the tumbadoras? Great technique!
Eduardo Avila hey! I hope all is well... I have been playing for a little over 15 years now. And Thanks!
Maestro pregunta usted aplica el open slap con dos dedos o la mano completa gracias?
This really informed me so well 💯
Primero te quiero super felicitar, para mi eres un pedazo de conguero, y todo lo que haces te lo agradesco muchísimo, eres un maquina, te pido solo que hagas algo en español, la mayoria de congueros del mundo hablamos español, gracias, gracias
Nice video ... helpful. Thanks
Those congas sound sweeet!!
Alien skills. Sublime.
Saludos Eric desde Puerto Rico, me gustaría saber cuales eran los tonos de afinación que le distes a las 5 congas en este video. Gracias anticipadas..
Wow
Dude is NICE I'm a fan
Amazing
What’s a good starter conga to start practicing on? Future Afro -drummer coming at you
Du bist super❤
Speed comes with practice
Eres un crakkkkkk, un abrazo
Wow!
Five drums and speed are great!I'm trying to get a sense of how this helps a working conguero /percussionist to get a band gig in any music genre.Small venue stage space,song arrangement and leaving space for a bass player and drum set player all come in to play when looking at the merits of a five conga stage right for the working conga player.Also requires more trips for load in and out lol.....
Ruffs are 4 strokes; drags are three... 6:42 to 6:45 are ruffs.
Hola!! Gracias Bro!!!
Good clip
You fast bro. Mac Phillips. (80 year old conguero)
Do you have a video on how to tone your drums ?t
TheJudy2004 I don’t for the moment but I do plan to upload one soon!
Español, español, español, Gracias...
Good God your fast

Just a little food for thought for the fellow musicians if you can't dance to it you know the rest take your time imagine you dancing or some beautiful girl dancing if you get it right I can promise you you won't have to imagine anymore LOL
