Hey Michael, I began percussions three years ago with your videos. Cajon then congas then pandeiro. Thank thank thank

Bravo e chiaro 👍

Sweet! Thanks Michael! Understanding HOW to find my place with a band is always a challenge. And you are right about all the different ways and instruments that a percussionist can play with a band. That's the reason I decided to learn and attempt to master becoming a percussionist. And any great band in history has always had a percussionist. Please continue to share your experience! Thanks again Michael!

What a great mentor and warm heart towards music of all types. I follow your lessons on Afro-Cuban and have been venturing into Brazilian music -- It is an inspiration having you there to lead me on. Obviously, this lesson is about a different type of music and worldview, but you still treat it with grace and seriousness, and the tidbits on the percussionist's job is a new insight giving me a handle on my challenge -- no other site handles this. Thanks!

This taught me so much, thank you!

Very good! Thank you!

Al fin puede entenderte. Siempre te sigo y tus progresiones son muy rápidas y los que recién nos iniciamos en esto nos cuesta. Reconozco tu gran capacidad. Desde ya muchas gracias

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks. More of this is welcome: other styles and other percussion instruments.

Outstanding! Bravo! Gracias! Lovin' the freedom!!

Thanks So Much

Yeah! Good groove! 👍 Thank you Michaël.

Prima Michael, fantastisch! Heel goed. You are the best and one of the most versatile percussionists around. Your knowledge of so many different regional rhythms is just estounding and your ability to teach them is even more impressive-- je bent zo geduldig en precies. Keep rockin' the free world my friend. Good to see you are still active. Be well. Doei uit Amerika!

Thanks a million! That's a lovely groove!

Excellent, thank you so much!

I am learning percussion and English with you, you explain very well and very calmly, you are sweet, a greeting from Argentina.

Thank you for all that you do. It’s great to see you address the reemergence of the conga in contemporary music. This pattern is a great creative start that leads into other possibilities. Thank you!!!

Micheal Sir, Thank U for the Video! The Video is very relevant to what a Conga Player can do to fit into a Band playing Genre other than Latin Music. This is the 2nd Video of such type. 1st one was shown by Johanna Haminga Madam about how to fit Conga on Disco Pattern. We need more Tutorials on this. How to fit Congas in different Modern and Western Music, both Slow & Fast!

Great tutorial Michael!

Thanks Michael.

This pattern sounds so nice!!! Work so well, let me tell you I created a pattern but shorter and always seems to miss something, thanks to you, now I know, a long phrase work so well, because makes so colorful the ensemble. Thanks thanks thanks

Very nice!

Wow muy bueno! sabroso ese ritmo

thank you!! master abrazos desde Bogota- Colombia

Sehr cool mein Freund!!!

A nice groove and good advice, Michael: thank you. ☝️😎

Hello Michael. Do you have or would you make a tutorial on how to play danzón someday? Thank you so much. Your videos are always so helpful.

Thanks....so nice..🌞🌷🌻

Dear Michael, good morning. Please request, if you could make a video with pop music style or funk playing bongo. Thank you very much for your valuable teachings. Greetings from Ecuador!

this is a very nice rhythm!! sounds beautyful and cool and it's so fun to play! could you tell me some nice songs to play it with?

Michael -- are your written transciptions collected anywhere ? GREAT WORK,

Nice one. Complete rthym at 8.07

Michael, this is such a valuable lesson -- thank you! When you develop a pattern like this, do you then tend to vary it within the flow of the song? Or do you generally keep playing that pattern all the way through?

I enjoy your videos so much. I would take private bongo /conga lessons from you or someone in Colorado. I live in Aspen, but could travel to Denver.

Maestro desde Argentina. Un gran saludo. Podia ser algo en español ? Exelente tutorial.

HI Michael, when practicing this I found actually the 1st bar can be played with continuous alternating (RLRL) sticking. Though I love the palm-finger movement but i still find it more efficient at fast tempos doing RLRL. What do you think on this approach?

Very nice tumbal

Thank you Michael!It seems a Little bit comlicated.But i can read notes pretty good so i try to learn it slowly part by part.

This is a really good lesson - very clear step by step instructions and the rhythm has a great feel, complementing the other instruments well. I am just wondering how long it might take you to work out the right variation.....for example say you were having a jam on a relatively unfamiliar rhythm for the first time?

Great tutorial Michael. Any other thoughts on variations or ideas with other kinds of grooves?

Thank you Michael! Very nice groove.And its very good and useful trhat you write out the notes so you can learn it slowly part by part.A question:How can you play discorhytms on congas? Greetings from Matti in Sweden.

Great lesson!!👍

Excelente, tengo una duda este ritmo es para pop o funk? Gracias desde Colombia

Good guidance here on fitting conga playing with other elements and I really like your rhythm combination. I was wondering on whether this rhythm is based on 8ths or 16ths as on screen it looked like 16ths but the tumbao is generally using 8ths...?

👍

Hi everybody !! what a good rhythm ,but i would like to know what is the name of the group who plays this pieces para poder practicar despues pura vida

Question, master how can i get my slap to sound good with my weak hand ? Any tips please

para cuando los Sub en español??
