Pretty cool, I have already completed 5 bongo variations and transformed a style Now on to the Congo's , something to sink my teeth into. The variations sound great and inspiring.
So far loving this course.Already completed a bongo course of dance papi that put my bongo technique a long way.In the middle of this conga course.The teaching is broken down to learn a rhythm in stages.Something to sink my teeth into.Originally I am a drummer,I much love percussion now.The other courses on this channel will keep me busy as well.A learning journey and adventure.
I am blessed, I have found my teacher! Thank You for your being! Greatest gift that I could receive as proof to have changed my life into the right direction. Drumming brings me Happiness as beginner with 44yrs. Saludos DancePapi 🌈
I want to echo your remarks. Taking lessons with Edgardo is one of the best things I have done for myself and my enjoyment of playing the congas. A great gift indeed.
Hello my friend, I just want you to know that I truly enjoy your lessons and your profession and detail. Playing these rhythms on these instruments is more difficult than I had imagined, but it is so enjoyable to hear these rhythms and to appreciate the timings and skills it takes to master them. Thank you again and I hope life is good to you and your loved ones. God Bless You.
Thanks for giving so much back. I'm learning a lot about this wonderful instrument Wich is part of my Puerto Rican culture and Wich I've always been so interested in learning. Thank you and God bless you always
Thanks. I learned Matanzas style in Matanzas at a drum workshop with AfroCuba and Munuquitos in the late 90’s but when I got back to NewOrleans I was hearing Havana style and got very confused. They would also play rumba clave plus the short bell pattern with Columbia which really made my head spin.
Love it. For me that space on the bar 2 creates an anticipated bear which I’ve always loved. Of course for those that already know it it’s expected. On that note I’m reminded of how Jerry Gonzalez took his solos with Cunjunto Libre at Central Park NY where we jammed at the fountain in the 70’s. Thanks for the great breakdown.
Yo...I am an alto/soprano saxophonist/flutist by way of jazz guitarist and shekere and bell and kalimba....So I am still somewhat novice @ congas --- but I know clave very well tho. I only have 1 request -- is it possible to display the teacher's name UP TOP. I had to dig for it to find how to spell Edgardo C ambon. Thank you Senor Cambon -- helping me return to my roots!!! Musica Azucar!!
Wow! Thanks for your percussion video series. Very inspiring! I do not yet have any Conga drums, but am eager to acquire some and follow through with your percussion teachings!🎵
Thank You, muchas Gracias! The Imprivisation is great. I would love to understand what is going on in minute 23:10. How do you count this short 1-bar Imprvisation??????
Hi Edgardo, you are a fantastic Percussionist and very humble man!!! I'v been watching your videos for a while and you explained each single instrument, so Well.....bravissimo Maestro....Thanks a lot....Ciao
Todo mi agradecimiento por compartir estas lecciones. Eres buen conguero y buen maestro, Contigo aprendí un poco el candombe uruguayo y ahora estoy con la columbia, ritmos que no conocía y son muy bonitos. Llevo un par de años con las congas y básicamente aprendo con tutoriales y algún consejo de un amigo conguero bueno, (su hija tiene los mismos años que mis congas, asi que imagina el poco tiempo que tiene ahora para lo demás, je je.) y tus vídeos me son muy intrucctivos, provechosos y agradables. Gracias de nuevo y un abrazo el otro lado del charco.
So good to see you back Edgardo! This is a great video - clearly explained as always with plenty to keep me going for some time and I loved the improvisation at the end.
Thanks for the great demonstration. You might be interested to know myself and two other friends did these patterns one night on cata, bell and congas. Look forward to the Songo demonstration and please include the key bell(s) and other side parts. Thanks again
Just to clarify something I feel is a bit confusing to many. 6/8 means six eight notes or corcheas per compass, first number is the amount of notes per compass while second number is the value of each note. Example: 4/4 means four notes of quarter note or negras value. Also 6/8 can be counted a 123,123, making it a bit easier than 123456.
Patrick, the application is called "Percussion Tutor". I believe is available for the phones to both platforms, IOS and Androids. You may want to Google it too. Good luck, and please subscribe to the channel. Thank you. Edgardo.
Hi. When you play the heel-toe technique, does the heel happen on the downbeat (for example the 1) and the toe happens on the off-beat (the AND of 1)? Or is the heel-toe happen only on the downbeat as a quick movement and only counted on the 1? Also on a 6/8 rhythm where would the heel fall in the rhythm and the tip?
Hi, sometimes I tune to specific notes, but most times I tune by ear. Generally starting in C-440 (middle C) and the lower drum, a third or a fifth below. But frankly: I am not too picky... My tuning depends on many things, like If I am playing with a Salsa Band, or Folklore music, or a Pop band, etc etc.
May be your ears are so trained that you automatically tune to root key(s) of the main performer.... Why I asked is because Indian drum (tabla, dholak etc.) players are very particular about the sharp drum tuning. The base (dagga) is tuned with ear.. In this video the sharp (middle) drum sounds in perfect tune. That is why the curiosity. May be you upload a video on this topic with tuned and untuned drums and with a guitarist/ soloist in company... Am I askiing for too much?
Rishikesh Elkunchwar , I have been told by my fellow musicians in my band, that I have “perfect pitch”... Sometimes I ask my piano player to play middle “C” on his piano for reference. I will try to make a video on tuning, maintenance and taking care of your drums. But the likely of doing a video with other artist is small, as everybody I would consider to do such a video with me is very busy. But in my website: www.musicandela.com there are many videos of me playing with various ensembles and bands. Thanks for your comments. Edgardo
@@Eddysuconga Hey Edgardo, Rob Holland here, long time Bro! Good to see you! About the bell name, My dad, Milt Holland traveled, to Africa lot for drumming and came back with one of the names for the bell pattern, “Ácha” , but he said it was played so much everywhere and it must have had different names in different places. By the way, I learned a rumba Columbia that came from Pablo Moso quite a few years ago when he was in the group “Skins”, if I recall correctly, and they mixed dulple and triple meter parts, the way we are on the old mango Santa Maria albums. If you want some time I’m happy to share it with you.
Edgardo Cambon buen día gracias maestro saludo desde Houston Texas cuando esté de gira por USA si viene a Houston hágamelo saber para poder conocerlo personal ?

Great Video, I am surprised how good the REMO skins sound.In the US the saying is to skin a 🐱 cat.
Thank you Edgardo, great lesson as always! How exactly is this bell pattern named? I think you are mentioning it's name at 6:12. Thank you!
"Ewe" Bell Pattern... More info on that ethnic group from Africa here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewe_people Thanks!
Nice!
