I shot this back in February 2012 in Brooklyn, NY. It was my first time seeing this amazing artist from Cuba. Other clips of his music can be found on RU-vid.
I've been to Cuba twice to study (not bragging) and there are ton of Conguero's just like this Cat .... it's amazing! It's very humbling yet so inspiring. The rhythms of Cuba are the the tastiest. Thanks for posting.
there is SOOO much going on in this guys head behind what he is doing. its not just slapping drums, there's a ton of understanding of rhythms and then HOW to get it out accurately and with feeling on the instrument. wow.
Hello. I am not Predrito's publicist but I can tell you that he has blown up over the past year and is performing all over the world. He has a page on Face Book in case anyone wants to follow him. facebook.com/pedritomartinezmusic?ref=br_tf
Hey man trata de tocar dobles como los harías normalmente, enfocandote en la claridad, y entonces cambia al movimiento de heel-toe y trata de lograr un nivel similar de claridad. El doble golpe en esencia es un heel toe al borde del tambor, así se desarolla el sonido fuerte y abierto. Hope this helps, sorry my spanish isn't too good
Caramba desde que los percusionistas creen que hacer música es un asunto de hacer figuras rítmicas en donde prima la velocidad el resultado es un regero de sonidos sin ton ni son. Los invoto a oir lo que hacen sin ver lo que hacen para que tengan una idea de lo que planteo.
