Bongos Lesson 1: The Basics (Tuning/Tones/Rhythm) 

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 enjoyed that, thank you! My first Pulse bongos just arrived so I’ve now ordered the spanner to tune them up 😀

Mine just came in, and they're lovely!

Thank you very much for your interesting pattern bongo lesson! Always did like percussion!!

It was very helpful. Thanks! Today I ordered such a bongo in Germany.

Just what I needed - perfect timing!

great technique and super sounding bongos.

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. :)

Excellent and through teaching skills. Great job!! Thank you!!

I love it !!! Just got a set and can't wait to start playing 👍🏆.

Awesome!! Good lesson, thanks

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

Really enjoyedReally enjoyed that Paul. I have Valencia bongos here.

Thank you great advice

perfect

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.

Great sound

Thank you very much

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.

Thank you sir

Excelente

Found that your video of teaching cajon is so good. Could you also make a serial of bongo tutorial?

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!).

Cupping for slaps on the Macho!

Thank you, thumbs up. Got mine today, spanner supplied is going to be painful so...that's the first thing. Get a decent spanner.

Kindly Make more video for bongos lessons 🙏🙏

💛🎶🙌🏻🙏

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

Enjoyable video for a self thought player like me.

really enjoyed listening to and watching you, great info with a subtle humour....

I’d like to buy a set of those bongos. What model of LPs are those? Thank you

When are we getting a new season of round the twist?

If it sounds good then it's right.

Bigthumb I ie you shearing Very good

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.

Perfect lesson. Why wouldn't you use a tuner to get the exact notes and intervals? Curious most tuning videos don't use tuners...

👍

Is there a lesson 2?

another lesson pau; please!!!!

Very good vid. Where's lesson 2?

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 💃🏽
