Great topic and many many many good points of advice. Do what Eric says, people!

@vivomusicwilliamortiz1950 4 года назад

Love the video. My 5 go to instruments for worship or any gig: 1. Shaker 2. Tambourine 3. Wind chimes 4. Crash cymbal 5. Hand drum ( conga, Cajon or Jembe. ) I always used this combo for any gig... Gracias por todo. Good info. My brother. Blessings

@bouliltcharbab7180 4 года назад

thanks a lot sharing this family moment with us. it"s why this is not just a percussion channel. And even if Donald doesn't let us travel to the USA from France thanks for all the great job you are doing for people like me far from teachers!!! hope you may continue this for long time. Best wishes from French Alps

@APercussionLife 4 года назад

Hahaha Thank you!

Great video, as usual. If I can add to the list: you should know how to change hands on the fly while playing a shaker one-handed. Also, you should be familiar with a few microphone placement techniques for studio and live, so you can help the sound person if they don’t have experience micing percussion. Next level: be familiar with playing in 6. Even if you’re not the most sophisticated at it, you should know one pattern in 6/8 that you can lock on and “sit” on.

@APercussionLife 4 года назад

Completely Agree!!!!

@darrenglass2930 4 года назад

This is so true. It feels like 80% of the songs I get asked to sit in on with a Djembe, Doumbek, or Conga/Quinto/Tumba are 6/8.

@petersmith5358 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing Eric, I am a percussionist (mainly Djembe and Tongue Drum) living here in Germany near Frankfurt. Last year I became the percussionist for a band basically using Cajon, chimes, and some of the various instruments you showed. Versatility is the thing these days for percussionist, thanks again and keep safe hopefully this virus crisis will be over so we can get those gigs back.

@AfroEire 4 года назад

Don't forget the Tambourine.. I thought it was basic till i got called for a funk/gospel vibe gig, if you want to do something a bit tastier than just the 2 and 4.

@APercussionLife 4 года назад

Yesss!!!

@Jrenglehorn 4 года назад

So true. Tambourine is much harder than it looks! MUCH. And super fun.

@raaavvvin 3 года назад

Great video...missed this one but glad I caught it....have a great day

@Ais4Drew 3 года назад

Eric, I stumbled upon your channel this evening after watching your review of the Roc-N-Soc you did a while back. I’ve been playing drums (key word here) off and on for about 15 years now. While I did percussion in high school I often slept on trap percussion because it wasn’t as “glamorous” as battery percussion or set percussion that my school offered. Seeing this video my first thought was “here’s a percussionist - this is percussion as an art”. And even from the get go just working those shakers it was clear to me that I’ve slept far too long on the more flavorful ethnic sounds and instruments that make up the percussion an *art*. Thanks for reigniting my spark in world percussion and just know I’m taking these lessons to heart to make the transition from drummer to percussionist.

@revkelly58 4 года назад

Shaker with tambourine, and do a clave rhythm hit on tambourine or on the 2, and the ‘and’ of 3, 4. Takes practice but killer jam.

@Michael-Oh 4 года назад

Kelly Lambert I've learned this aswell, you don't realise how hard this is until you try it

@Berkcam 2 года назад

I have mastered playing Conga left hand, Bongo right hand... Tambourine around my right ankle, slapping Cajon with my left foot and shaker in my mouth. Got to go to my physiotherapist appointment now.

@germar42 4 года назад

You are the one Neo! not only for the techniques I've learned from you, the music feeling and humor too! Graciassssssssssss

@charlottes6663 4 года назад

Those West Virginia mountains bring back a lot of memories. I hope you went to the John Brown Center. I spent many summers in Charlestown . Oyeah nice video on what every percussionist should know. Keep sharing your tutorials.

@APercussionLife 4 года назад

Yesss! Thank you!

Hey my Adopted Grandson: You've done it again. Another great video! So glad you have some family time and away from the concrete jungle. This was a very helpful video as all of your videos are. Take care, God bless and enjoy your great outdoor experience. Vaya Con Dios.

@APercussionLife 4 года назад

Thanks Robert!!

@bongoscongasantiquecashreg4544 4 года назад

I use claves, have done cowbell a few times. I really enjoy using my LP finger shots not sure if you have heard of them but I can multi task while playing bongos & congas. Look into it I love them!

@joeljacq7486 4 года назад

Starting on the "1" Very creative video work in the intro, Eric Spielberg 😁. Thank you for sharing all the fundamental instruments/ principles of percussion. You got to love it!! To you & family, stay safe with love🙏

Hola un saludos de un percusionista de Chile, muy buena onda eres bro. Sencillos tutoriales pero con harta sustancia. Vamos a seguir pulsando por un mondo mejor

@totoroutes5389 4 года назад

The outdoor vlogging adds a lot to the video. Could you show us how to use all those instruments live with a looper app on the iPad or laptop?

@daveargall3454 4 года назад

Nice vibe and well demonstrated

@boboloko 4 года назад

I worked on a farm 20 years ago just outside of Charlestown. Great place. I have one small criticism of this video: I know that you were giving us just a sample of shaker instrumentation but there is so much you can do with a caxixi besides shake it down in quarter notes. I love the points that you made about clave, conga and cajon. There are too many percussionists that should learn the basics. And this reminds me that I gotta study some more cajon

@robertryder1097 4 года назад

Such an artistic lesson on multiple levels - self-disclosure, cinematography, nature and historical setting, family, musicality, instructional... wow! I enjoy and learn from all your posts, but this must be one of your very best - THANK YOU, Eric!

@michaelclemens4486 4 года назад

Great tips, I think it’s good to diversify with different instruments, as well with studying a few different styles from different regions. I feel like I’ve gained from having gotten to experience a little Congolese, Afro Cuban . West African Brazilian , Middle Eastern etc Of course not to spread one self too thin, But feel like each had something different to offer, as far a flavor , and different techniques to learn

@userneedsname 4 года назад

I love this video. It really inspires me to learn more. It makes me think of all the possibilities in the percussion world. It's exciting. And I love your music in the closing of this video.

@Dyshof 4 года назад

What a great video man. Love the family outing, nice shots, beautiful! I'm a bass player but had to do percussion on a need basis and started to love it. Do you have a lesson how to build up speed on these conga bursts, or ruffs or whatever they are called, those littly douple speed throw-ins on hand drums?

@proximeoscolassianopolis8114 4 года назад

@Squirrelconga 4 года назад

TRUE! People comment on my chimes, quite often! I always knew they were necessary...but, was surprised how many people noticed, and appreciated, them! Btw:. That thingy you were doing on congas/bongas was sweet!!! Btww:. Sounds like you've been working on cajon quite a bit, since I saw it before. 🤜🤛

@jcbirdman74 4 года назад

The trick is knowing where the clave goes. Which confuses me at times. Can you do a video on clave and where it goes in Guaguanco rumba and where it goes in Salsa??

@lmckinney4303 4 года назад

@sambac2053 4 года назад

Part of what you need to know about playing shaker chimes etc. is that it is a horrible playing arhythmically, and just filling up empty space on quiet sections. It gets obnoxious really quick.

@kukublu 4 года назад

Thank you, great, helpful video! Most of my opportunities to play are in acoustic settings, and with choirs. All of these ideas are totally applicable & helpful! Also, I'd like to get a cajon- are there any you reccomend particularly? Thanks for what you're doing, I have learned so much from you!!

@farshimelt 4 года назад

Check out Mona Tavakoli, she's a great cajon player/percussionist and has designed a fine sounding cajon for LP. If money is tight, a Crate cajon by Tycoon is a good sounding instrument. If you need info on tuning it, reply to this comment.

2:45 > with that one, I learned a new percussion instrument with this video. Looked the thing up on the googols, cos it sounded real nice, found out it called a caxixi which is now on my wish list. Thanx for this and thumbs up from me. Gonna check out more of your vids now :-) ps - 11:11 > I know that song, love it. I once heard that one on another youtube channel. Played it on my ipod since 2016. Cool to now hear the percussion edition :-)

@MrDebrafe98 4 года назад

JEROEN FIGEE Hi jeroen I went to amazon to see if the have the caxixi but they don’t have it any specific web or musical store in particular that have so I can check it out please and thx?

Eric, Man.. you're one of my idols! But brother, I believe there is no 2-3 clave... The pause changes, but It still 3-2... Isn't it?

@APercussionLife 4 года назад

Thank you! There is “Son Clave” which is either played in 2-3 or 3-2... what you’re referring to with the “pause” is for “Rumba Clave” which you’re right
