Quinto instructions for solo's in rumba by Michael de Miranda 

I think you're videos and modest style of teaching are excellent. And so generous. Thank you.

Mr.Michael your spirit shines brighter than the sun. Thank you

One of the clearest and most effective teachers of percussion on the net, Thanks!!!!!

more than a little bit of help!, This about the best video out there in decades....simple..I come from the Puerto Rican scene and there is no way that anyone would reveal to any one the pattern of practice to play the the quinto like you do in this video...for them is a secret.not so much that it should be a secret, but rather that it is "Power" to know something others dont know and they choose not to share it

Thanks Michael, you have no idea how long I've been looking for a training like this. I used it last weekend when I got together with my rumberos friends and it worked like a charm ..

Thanks, I've been looking for this breakdown of the quinto for years. Your lessons are great and easy to follow.

very useful technics for street "rumbas", and the way Mr. Miranda presents it is very humble. keep up the good work! much appreciated.

Compadre , muy complacido porque es una mezcla con variaciones....excelente!

Mr Michael, thank you so much, you have opened doors to the world of percussion to me.

Thank you very very much, you are really a good teacher! Many years ago I went to Cuba and I 've been to Justo Pelladito home to take some classes... Now I play djembè, but conga is always my first love! :

Michael. My journey in the world of Afro-Cuban percussion started many years ago when the resources for learning correctly were very few. You have used this contemporary technology to the fullest, kudos my friend. Your teaching methods and philosophy are exemplary--great foundational material from which to build on and develop individuality. Living in the U.S. now but born in NL (Arnhem area). Ik wens jou het beste en nog veel succes mi amigo

You are fantastic you are making it so simple when it sounds so difficult thanx

Hi Michael, thank you for your time and generosity in sharing your knowledge- Your videos are so helpful and your teaching style is fantastic.

Thank you!! I'm glad you like the lessons!!

wow, another super video about rare latin rhythm concepts, thx!!!

The bass played by the right hand is important. The 2 basses (or palms) with the left hand are important for the timing. I've learned this pattern from my Cuban teacher and he used the bass of his right hand as a strong point where he ended lots of his variations.

Nice Michael. You are always so inspiring and knowledgeable.

Thanks. Rumba Quinto seems to be the hardest thing to learn but this helps break it down a bit.

Quinto playing has always been a bit of a mystery to me but now I'm starting to get a handle on it. Thank you Michael!

Great lesson and thank you!

@nanigo Hi, thank you for your comment and compliment! Unfortunately I don't have a video. Perhaps in the future, because more people are asking me for a DVD. I'll keep you informed!

@cansuarez Thank you for this great compliment! I hope everybody enjoys the videos.

i think i requested some lesson on thge Yamboo, tres golpes and pozo's comparsas, and the afro cuban beat that made mongo so popular. you're the best brother...Rico Montalvo

Your welcome!

@InfoRoom If you turn the clave around than you you have to turn the pattern around too.

Hey Michael, how about doing a lesson on Changuito's mano secrete.

Most easy to understanding explanation for how to play Rumba Quinto. Thank you for sharing! Do you have video for sale and where can I buy it?

@gnog1969 your welcome.

ijust got your message. i just wanted to touch base w/u/2 let you know that the problem was fixed. it was on my end that it was happening. anyway i've been playing for many years just for fun.there was a time i played those neighborhood clubs.i was raised in new york and was foertunate enough to grow up with tony n manny jimenez both went through Juliard school of music. tony ended up w/larry harlow for many years. my 2nd instr was Papi Torres who played w/ tito Rod 4 mny yrs both good inst lkeU

this is it.

Friend can tune a fifth 9 3/4 as conga ?

hi mike, i just went into youtube to check out some of your stuff and upon several attempts i find that all of your stuff has been taken off. wht's up? i really enjoyed your stuff and want to see what happened. let me know how i can get into some site that has your stuff. I think that you give a good ilustration of your work. keep up the good work. ricom..

by going to 2230,your site i get all of your videos,but i still can't see your video's. i go to other sites and it works fine. on all of your stuff the screen comes out black with a message that reads; this video is currently unavailable.

A QUESTION ABOUT A DETAIL... hey, I've noticed that at the beginning of the film you play 3 bass sounds and when you continue with the clave pattern there's only one... Is it something meaningful? I guess there are dozens of ways to do it, personal preferences also are important, but what is the "Cuban" way to do it? Btw, thanks for the videos man....

Michael, nice video. what brand drums are you using?

That is strange! I haven't changed anything on my channel, my video's are still there. What happens if you go my channel: mdm2230. Can you see my video's there?

Perhaps I have to send a message to RU-vid, perhaps they know what is going on.... Of course I want everybody to see my video's.
