- Here is Part 2 of a multi-part video series on modern Latin drumming.
This lesson explains some modern ways to play a Cha Cha Cha rhythm.
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:
Porkpie Drums
20"x 16" Bass Drum
Toms: 8"x 8", 10"x 8", 14"x 12"
Canopus Zelkova 14"x5" 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
Dafnis Prieto
Edu Riberio
DOM UM ROMÃO
Antonio Sanchez
Carlos Vega
Mark Walker

More great insightful stuff Rick. Really connects with material in Advanced Coordination book which I think is terrific by the way. Having it adds value to these great demonstration videos of yours.
Thanks Paul. That's the reason that I am doing them so I am glad to hear that its connecting with you.
Fabulous drumming! Great lessons 👌

You have a prodigious amount of virtuosity, sir. And your breadth of stylistic knowledge is…astounding.
Would you be so kind as to answer a subjective question?
‘Do you think a Wuhan China such as your own would sound cool with rivets?’ I’d be using it as a swish/pang in primarily jazz-based settings, but fusion and (prog-) rock aren’t out of the question.
Essentially, I’m trying to save some money by avoiding the Zildjian, Paiste, and Bosphorus incarnations. (The only thing I really enjoy from Paiste is the Phantom Steel snare; the cymbals have never sonically resonated with me).
Anywho, I would regard any input as very much appreciated.
Again, I thank you, for all of this.
I am glad to know you are creating in this world, a world made better by your existence.
Kind Regards,
Alexander Frost
Hello Alexander
Thank you for your kind words.
The Wuhan china's are pretty stiff, so not great with rivets unless you get a thin one and it's a 22" or larger.
Check out the Masterwork china's.
They are reasonably-priced and they are very thin.
If you look at my latest big band postings, you can hear a 24" that is great with rivets.
Thanks
hi rick, now that i have the foot splash guiro pattern down and both cha cha grooves, thinking about balancing sounds. 1. splash should be subtle and not totally released to full open? 2. cowbell is inherently louder the my secondary hihat. so should CB be played with tip and the hihat with shank in in order for the hihat to cut through? 3. is the primary sound the CB and foot splash underneath?
Hi Ron
The primary sound should be the quarter notes played on the bells.
The mounted HH is just filler.
Foot splash should be heard and is prominant
At about 8:20 you play the conga rhythm on the snare, but maybe I am missing something-- how are you getting that sound out of the snare? Is that simply tuning, or more specific to the snare that you are using? It sounds amazing either way!
Hi Andrew
Just turn the snares off and play the snare as you would play a conga. The slap is between the rim and the head and the heel toe left hand motion takes place in the center of the head.
@@rickdior thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate that, and I am glad (or at least my wife is) that I didn't end up with yet another piece of drum equipment ;-)
