I fully agree with that excellent reminder at 12:43 : learn to play it straight, then later some swing (or some kind of interpretation) can be added. True for any style of music, moreover when it is at the service of dancers. Top music lesson, many many useful details, thanks!
Con gusto! I love this guy. He's a more knowledgeable and experienced percussionist than me but I agree with all he says. I enjoy very much the lessons! Even with the stuff that I already know and have played for years I always learn something. Is he out of San Francisco?
Edgardo is based in Oakland but he plays and teaches all over the Bay Area. He is currently recording a new album. Please check out his website at: musicandela.com/
Caballero gracias llevo tiempo tocando con grupos pero usted de todos los que e escuchado,tiene una manera de explicar bien y una tecnica buena. Gracias de nuevo.
You mentioned one of the most phenomenal musician/producers I've ever cherished in my 6+ decades; I hold him partly responsible for my hopeless, extreme addiction to every note of music he's ever played....... Colombia's Diego Gale. Now, this is a gringo's point of view, but when I think of Colombian salsa I consider one other musician/producer; Fruko (y sus Tesos) Estrada is kind of a counterpart to Diego Gale in the sense one represents Medellin style and the other Cali style. While Colombian salsa is fantastic, there's also the production aspect; Colombian studio work is perfection. I consider the cats behind the production to be as much musicians as the players in the band. What I'd give to be able to go to Colombia for an event where Diego is playing, such as Feria de Cali. Okay, suffice it to say you said a magic word and got a subscriber :) And my gratitude for your generosity of excellence.
Campanero Campana!!!, reveladora lección para mi, neófito en esto de entender como están estructuradas las canciones. A mis 48 años estoy empezando con las Congas... poco a poco, poco a poco y sin maestro por aquí en el viejo continente. Dios te pague y la Virgen te acompañe Maestro. Nota: Me encanta el altar que tiene montao; seguro ese Sagrado Corazón de Jesús ilumina ese gran don de dar y enseñar que tienes. Cordial Saludo.
I've never play cowbell before and I know nothing about music. But I want to learn to play cowbell because I like it a lot. Do you think is a good idea to buy a cowbell and try to learn from youtube? I'd really appreciate your response
Damn, I had a hard time finding that like and dislike button as you said. So pal Carajo, I hit the like button . Gracias, por la educacion. Cubiche right ? me too.
Hola Rafael, mi amigo Evelio Llamas (ver Face Book Page en: facebook.com/evelio.llamas2) te puede vender el palo, hecho de una resina especial sintética. También el hace muy buenas campanas. Muy recomendable su trabajo. Obviamente no se donde vives, pero el hace envíos a todo el mundo. Suerte y subscríbete a mi canal! Gracias.
Don't know either the number or model, sorry my friend! I bought it at Haight Ashburry Music Center in San Francisco, a good 20 years ago, and I buy bells by testing them and playing them. It doesn't have any number or code written on it. All I know is JCR Bells are now a bit of a collectors item, and I believe JCR made a higher pitch and this one which is the lower. I recently (just a couple of days back) saw one just like that for sale on E-Bay . Thanks for your comment.
Music is not a matter of having or not having talent and there is not a single person on this planet has no talents at all enjoy making music and keep practicing God Bless you
Estoy hablando de Bandas de salsa es obvio!!!!!! Que si es un conjunto entra el Bongocero primero claro si es el unico con el secerro wow!!!!!obvio!!!!
De acuerdo: es obvio. No hay timbalero en el conjunto. Pero en muchas ocasiones musicales en la Salsa, después de un "bloque" (break) ó corte, el timbalero y el bongocero entran juntos en la section de campanas, por eso argumento el comentario de que el timbalero entra "siempre" primero en la campana. De nuevo, gracias por los comentarios. Pa'lante!
Las campanas o cencerros, algunas, tienen algunos sobretonos o sonidos no deseados, esas pequeñas gomas o a veces un poco de tape o cinta adhesiva apaga esos sonidos no deseados. Algunos músicos prefieren no ponerle nunca nada a la campana. Gracias por visitar los videos.
Sherif, I have small hands and the JCR (may he RIP) bell it's a large bell. I can take some liberties as far as my index, as you mentioned. But the general point is to hold the bell firmly and not muffled the sound. Thanks for watching the video and for your comment.
This are percussion classes concentrated, not a quick reference on how to play. What other people find VERY informative, you find boring or unnecessary, and that is the way it goes... Thats why there is the "like or dislike" button on the right of the video. Thanks for the comment.
Edgardo Cambon Again, you should ignore these kind of people. They're not worth responding to. You are here for people like me who love your videos and appreciate them. Can't wait until you make Timbales video. I hope you use the same level of patience and explanation as all your other videos.
