- In bongos lesson 1 you will learn about the construction of the bongos, tuning, tones, and a basic rhythm.
The bongos are typically found in Latin American music and cuban music. They can be used for so much more than those genres though.

I enjoyed that, thank you! My first Pulse bongos just arrived so I’ve now ordered the spanner to tune them up 😀
Aw nice one! Glad you enjoyed. Yes, get them cranked up!! 👌
You said the important fact at the beginning of the video. I kindly thank you for that.
❤
Grazie per aver iniziato le tue spiegazioni mostrando la regolazione del tono del bongo. Like e iscrizione meritati. 👍
I love it !!! Just got a set and can't wait to start playing 👍🏆.
Fantastic! Enjoy 🔥
Just what I needed - perfect timing!
Well that is fantastic then. Hope you enjoy! :)
Me too.
Thank you very much for your interesting pattern bongo lesson! Always did like percussion!!
Excellent and through teaching skills. Great job!! Thank you!!
Thanks Marlene! I'm happy that you are enjoying the videos. Welcome to the channel! :)
great technique and super sounding bongos.
Awesome!! Good lesson, thanks
Mine just came in, and they're lovely!
Thanks a lot for the video, it was very helpful!
Thanks for the correct placement of bongo drums for me... I am a lefty but I think still high drum on left side suits me best... just got bongo drums today and was struggling for last hour. U solved it for me. Though I still play beats with my left hand on high drum and tap with my right hand but still putting high drum on left side makes it so easier for me. :)
Very useful teaching. Thank you so much sir
Great basics. Keep up the good work
Thank you so much! Take care. :)
It was very helpful. Thanks! Today I ordered such a bongo in Germany.
Great help right off tha bat. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the lesson.

Super helpful, thank you!!
Great sound
I don't have conga drums, so what I do in the band I tune bongos in such a way that I mimic conga sounds from bongos. Works perfectly.
Now I owe conga drums❤️🙏🙏learning every time
Really enjoyedReally enjoyed that Paul. I have Valencia bongos here.
Thank you for the video on great instruction for beginners been playing bongo and conga I'm from Puerto Rico I've been playing that in precaution for more than 45 years like many instruments including the cowbell güiro sin sarro and many other instruments in Latin precaution music keep up the good working from el salsero de Puerto Rico keep the beat Yours Truly Joseph
Found that your video of teaching cajon is so good. Could you also make a serial of bongo tutorial?
perfect
Thank you very much
really enjoyed listening to and watching you, great info with a subtle humour....
Kindly Make more video for bongos lessons 🙏🙏
Thank you sir
Excelente
Congratulations and thanks for your great first lesson about bongos Happy to find it out. I hope you will keep up the good work.
I just purchased an LP Aspire 601 (6.75" x 8") and I was surprised and disappointed to hear that it had been tuned upside down, i.e. high notes on the Hembra and low notes on the Macho. As a beginner I struggled to retune it correctly. I downloaded iDrumTune Pro to help me and read a lot of documentation, but I'm not sure about the result. It says (sometimes) : Macho: 85 Hz / D2 and Hembra 62 Hz / E2, it doesn't sound bad but it's variable and I think it's not the right octaves. I read that it should be between the 6th and the 4th. I don't dare to push the Macho who is already cracking. I hope you'll make a video on this subject. There's a lack on the Net.

Hey Paul. Can you explain the obsession with the Martillo? Almost every bongo video is just people playing a martillo. Drum videos aren’t just people playing a rock beat. Don’t understand. I get it has its place in a samba rhythm section, but that’s it it seems. Surely an instrument is there to be used as you like, taken to new ground, played in new ways. There are a thousands of genres and rhythms beyond martillo/samba… a million rhythms that can work musically within and around any accompaniment. Jimmy Hendrix played his guitar upside down (and no he didn’t learn to play it the right way round first!).
its lesson 1 for a reason
I see the date on this. However my advice is for you to research more vids. There are a good number of vids here on the tube of a large number of different playing styles.
Check out Bongorilla. He's here on youtube under that name. I started watching his vids and was playing my 1st set of drums and raising my neighbors eyebrows and gained smiles. One told me he had been listening to my progression over the course of about a month of hearing me play telling me that I had improved alot.
But check him out. He plays to a wide variety of music and mixes his martillo with his own unique variations and cadence that aren't the martillo.
Some instruments were made FOR A CERTAIN TYPE OF MUSIC. The fact that we discover that it can fit in other styles, it's another thing. Just because you can use them anywhere else, doesn't take away the place they were actually fucking used and came from in the first place. Answered your curiosity and your comparison?
@@AnaIrimiabooks not really 😆 Even more questions now. Not only am I still confused why the bongos are played almost only martillo, I am now also wondering why some people have such high stress levels…
@@iphonepilot true, I’ve seen bonguses used to during acoustic rock sets and it was amazing. I would rather play like that, just wanna jam along in a basic way with my favorite songs.
Perfect lesson. Why wouldn't you use a tuner to get the exact notes and intervals? Curious most tuning videos don't use tuners...
When are we getting a new season of round the twist?
Hi Paul do you have other bongo's lesson or a class...I've your cajon lessons and I would love to learn also to play bongos
Cupping for slaps on the Macho!
Bigthumb
I ie you shearing
Very good
Thank you, thumbs up. Got mine today, spanner supplied is going to be painful so...that's the first thing. Get a decent spanner.
Very good vid. Where's lesson 2?
Is there a lesson 2?
I’d like to buy a set of those bongos. What model of LPs are those? Thank you
💛🎶🙌🏻🙏
another lesson pau; please!!!!
Enjoyable video for a self thought player like me.
Pls make the video of cajon
When you say “we want try to keep them even” while adjusting the lug nuts, do you mean “even” as far as the tension or torque needed to turn the lug nuts, or do you mean even by the number of rotations each lug nut makes around the lug bolts?
I have a cheap set, and in order to get equal torque needed to turn the lug nuts, they are most definitely not equal when it comes to number of rotations on the bolt itself. And vice versa.
If it sounds good then it's right.
👍
Wouldnt wanna walk down south central with one of those babies
Beauty of congos is that in those first 4 hits you already feel like you part of a band 💃🏽
