Hey group- I've been working on the tamborim virado (turning) technique. I'm kinda able to play it two ways: one where my left arm (holding the tamborim) is...
Hey group, At a recent clinic, Kalani described the conga slap as being an overtone of the drum that you bring out by hitting with your fingertips. If that's...

Hmmm. That sounds more like a djembe slap to me. In a djembe slap, you are striking the drum with your fingertips, often resulting in a "ping" or overtone....
Here's something interesting to think about. By closing the drum off to get a dry sound most people tense their hand - they do this by typically cupping the...
Aloha! Does anyone know where I could pick up a set up the Gon Bop "Gongas" (the top third of a conga with a pull down bass tube)? Yep - they are no longer in...
Hi everyone, Does anyone have a transcription for the batumbata rhythm in congas. I know the combination includes the an Iya playing Yesa, a cowbell playing...
The most common batarumba that I know of is Chacha (Ichachalokuafun) on the bata and guaguanco on conga. AfroCuba de Matanzas does this sometimes. A difficult...
Hi, can someone tell me where I can find a talking drum teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area? I have a young friend that wants to learn this african drum...

The one I like the best is the tui tui guaguanco rhythm...
I have been custom painting congas with my original original art work for a few years and they look great on stage i take your ideas and design a pattern...
I am not sure if there is a better term for this, but at some point I read about a decorative fabric cover to slide over the drum. I'd actually prefer...
Hi Group, I just want to re-post (provided it's OK with the moderator(s) that I have completed an Bongo Informational/Instructional Video. Here's some info: ...

Clif, I've heard others mention tui tui with guaguanco. Could help me to figure out which one is tui tui? I know a handful of bata rhythms but I don't know tui...
I think that I've double and triple checked the time and everything should be written down correctly. Time is in 6/8 Each dot or symbol equals an 8th note. ...
Sorry dude, spaced out, > means slaps. I use touches in different ways within the same rhythm. I actually "embellish" with touches in the same way that I...
Does anyone other than me find a parallel between the way that the timbales are played with a bell and the way that djun-djun is played with a bell? Sometimes...
I'll take a stab - my experience on djun djun outweighs my experience on timbales. I would see a parallel, and I would think that a person who had mastered...
