- This video is about a simple yet important conga pattern -- the bolero. It's a style that every drummer should know, and it includes some bongo and timbale rhythms that can be used to accompany the style.

YOU A MAESTRO GRANDE!
Thanks Jose!
I am somuch love your lesson ...
Thank you! 😃
Super tutorial video!
Glad you liked it
Bello un ritmo che si suona poco però rimane Magico lo stesso. Complimenti.
grazie
I don't drum but I take these rhythms and transcribe them for guitar. My bandmates think I have some kind of 'secret sauce'. Thanks!
That’s awesome, Greg!
Love that! Is that common, transcribing percussion rhythms into guitar?
@@dpalaoro I don't think so. A hundred years or so ago I saw an interview with Skunk Baxter who said he voiced his rhythm playing like he was playing congas so I started voicing my playing like that. "Transcribing" is a pretty generous word for it but, hey, use it or lose it!
Good Evening, I've been playing drums, and percussion for years. I would now like to expand my music skills, and start reading music notes. Is there a music book recommendation for congas, bongos and timbales? Thank you, and God bless you.
I recommend congaguide.com (my book), Changuito A Masters Approach to Timbales, and for bongo? I never used a book so I don’t have a good recommendation for that.
Reading latin percussion music is not a special skill different from others, if anything else is easier. Just get any book on reading music, keeping in mind that you only have to learn to read rhythm. There are tons of good books readily available.
As a recommendation for Congas I can suggest the Richie Gajate book on congas by WB publishers. Another great resource is the Tomas Cruz conga methods, there are three volumes but if you get a good grasp on vol 1, and 2 you'll be way above the rest and will have under your belt probably 95% of what you'll ever need. These volumes are published by Mel Bay.
For Timbales, there's the Changuito book "A master's approach" I think it's called. There's also another great book by Victor Rendón.
For Bongos, also from Mel Bay, there are like three books by Trevor Salloum and they're all excellent resources. At the very least get his "The bongo book" you can't go wrong with that one. Good luck and happy drumming!
I love the Tomas Cruz book. Awesome stuff!
Could you make Bolero for timbal? that would be great!:D
I've had it on my list for a while and still need to make it. Thanks for asking.
Many guys play this BOTH ways. I prefer the first style.
Right on!
Kevin, how do you have you macho and hembra tuned on the Bongo? Is your macho C4 and the hembra G3 ?
I think it's more like F#4 and C#3 ... mostly because I don't tune to exact pitches. But lately I've been thinking of tuning for the song so the drums will mix better.
@@RhythmNotes Thank you....I thought as much...Thank you again.
What skins are these?

Sorry bro, I hit the wrong button. I like it a lot. But there is only one of me, which rhythm is THE Bolero rhythm? If I am playing with just a guitarist and a singer.
Atlanta, Ga.
The basic rhythms are shown at 2:15 czcams.com/video/FKCDvFUvs8U/video.html ... which is where the explanation starts. ... If I were playing with a guitar and singer, I might play the timbale and conga rhythms on bongo. Or, I might play the timbale rhythm with one hand (stick) on the shell of the timbale (or anything, really) and the conga part -- focusing on the open tones (low high low at the end of the bar).
