Sounds like Tom Zé
Niiiiice!
I, too, need this
Axel, it will change your life. Lol
I definitely need this
Yes! Get one! Fire
I think I need this!
Hello! I think you might! 💪🏽 👊🏽 🎶
Love from argentina, super cool atmosphere
Very nice, very original, and unique! Great meody guys!!
waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hey William, It was really great working with you on this project. Everything just seemed to fall into place every step of the way. Amazing job on all facets!! We should do it again soon!! 🎶😎🐚
i thought i was the only one who collected used house and car keys to use as a percussion instrument
🔥🔥🔥
Wow i just got some bongos coming from djembe, not really worrying too much about fills yet but just trying get clean sounds but struggling with the thumb hits hopefully doesnt take too long to develop.
Hey William! God and LORD Jesus bless you. Are you open to help me with a musical collab? I want to make a cover of a Psalm, but the song need a part with a african calabash drum. Thanks anyway for your time, God bless you and greetings from Chile 🙋🇨🇱
Hello! Please email me at williamjohnsonmusic@gmail.com and tell me more about it!
i thought the part between the beat was the off beat
“Off beat” “up beat” depending upon the circle of people or context it’s the same thing.
Blessings
Would you say steel has better resonance than aluminum?
That has been my experience yes! Most often when I hear a sound from metal that catches my attention it is from steel. I will say however that some forms of aluminum, due have nice resonance
I’m trying to break away from 4/4… How does one do that?
Great question. I have several suggestions and may make a short video about it and post later today. I have a percussion online course coming out that is quite comprehensive including a music theory section and videos on over thirty different percussion instruments. I have included thoughts, techniques, and practice methods I have gleaned and incorporated over the last couple decades plus. Should be available this July. Keep an eye out as I will be posting videos about it! In the meantime here is a little tip. Google popular songs in other time signatures. Start with something like 6/8 or 3/4. Listen to them A LOT and try to dissect them. As you listen to them it will become a part of what is normal to you. Practice and play/tap along to the rhythms. Also get a metronome, put it on a different time signature while driving or at home and listen and COUNT OUT LOUD to it in the same signature for a few minutes a day… just be sure to pay attention to the road! Haha
I've watched all 5 so far. Great stuff, but you spin me around too much with your verbal counts not matching up to what I see/hear you play. Could you please just play the grooves long enough for beginners to catch on? Fills and other tone zone refinements indeed come in time, but it's nice to have fun and feel successful at the same time by holding the groove.
Thank you for watching and for giving feedback! These videos as you can see are a few years old so I would have to go through it a bit better than I just did to see exactly what you mean. I will certainly consider your ideas (and have actually made some practice videos where I am playing simpler ideas for longer). It sounds like you would benefit from an actual one on one lesson so I could see what exactly might be confusing you and the counting could be better explained. Email me at williamjohnsonmusic@gmail.com I actually started on a “how to play bongos” video course that is more in depth but it is currently on hold while I finish a percussion 101 course.
Get you a brake drum from an old car at a junk yard Sounds awesome as well
Yes! I actually have a large one from a junk yard. I have made a few posts with it and used it in my studio on a project.
True ear for the tones! People look at me a bit off if I slap a fence or something while walking.. but I usually carry a little tascam field recorder and grab some nice sounds to create a sample
Yes! That’s awesome! Thank you
What metal is that? Wow!
Steel I believe but not 💯 sure. Sounds great right?
You wield the hand of god, positive vibrations echoing through the globe , great work !!!
Wow thank you! I desire to be part of His hands and feet. This world is dark and needs every bit of light possible! Thank you for watching and for the support.
I have a few wide mouth mason jars lying around….. no reason….
Make them sing! 😁
Price?
I could use one of these
I like the soft one. It sounds like a glockenspiel.
I am so glad I came across this video. I'm in the process of recording a cover of Rosanna, and I knew I could hear the congas, but could not place exactly how they fit into the shuffle groove. You have solved this puzzle keenly and adeptly. Perfect! Thank you.
Who! That’s awesome! I am glad I could help!
Sounds like the drums in soul sacrifice by Santana
Good one!!
Wow
🙏🏽😇😃
Very nice
Thank you!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
I love bongo so much. I mostly use mine for contemporary music as well.
Nice!
Sounds have no bass tone
That’s true. It’s my biggest qualm with travel congas. They have a little bit but not much at all. Mic’d up on a gig however you can add it no problem
Why are the drums covered? Is it to mute the drums?
Hello! Yes, to keep them silent while practicing. I do it mostly out of consideration for my family in the house when I don’t feel like closing my studio doors. It also helps with hearing protection.
POV: you’re a scuba diver who has been instructed to swim to a specific part of the Mariana Trench where all equipment breaks and cannot be explored with machines so a human has to go down and you hear the sound made with this instrument.
Oooooh! Good one there
Thank you for the nice variation for paradiddles on three drums using mano secreta. I'll incorporate it into my warm ups.
I am glad you found it useful!
Very good job in patiently breaking this down and bridging from the Afro-Cuban tumbao to a pop variation. I think some good Ralph MacDonald calypso double-time fills would be nice here too, like in Camel Rise in the Bobby Hutcherson Montara album. I play congas and I too listen very carefully to the melody of the composition to find my space while working with the trap drummer. Playing well requires paying attention to the details and nuances of the material, leaving ones ego at the door, to create a good product as a team. Very well done here, my friend.
Thank you! Great suggestions.
Great lessons man, thank you!
My pleasure!
This solves the problem of trying to play Shaker, tambourine and triangle at the same time
Awesome!
Love them paradiddles, even the word 😊, sounds like... Fun 😀, well... Yeah and like work also haha, need to exercice more, but these clips are nice, gives me some paradiddles urge.. 😊
Yes! 🙌🏽🎶🎶
I love this ❤❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you!
Great! Love it. Some examples accompanying music would be helpful and fills
nice
You got yourself a fan. (No pun intented, saw a drummer using fan to make beats)
Evans makes one?
Good to see you brother.
It’s beautiful
Thank you!
Wow! … This is deep… a drum you can actually stand on…😮 … I love it. ❤
This guy! yes! I dig it!
Nice Noble Records shirt..I live in Utah but I've followed his channel. Found your channel after having been asked to play percussion in an acoustic group recently. I've had some hand drums for years but haven't been able to learn and play with having 4 young children. I have been really enjoying your instruction.
