BTW, I love the skins you got on your congas. The sound is a lot more warmer and melodic.

[@RhythmNotes]

Thanks for mentioning it!

[@BrotherKaban]

Omg! That was so informative and helpful to me!!! You broke it down where I understood how it’s done now and just as important, where it falls in time. A million thanks 🙏 😎

That was a really good explanation of a difficult concept to understand and then play. Thanks for the breakdown! I am just getting started with congas, after a couple years on the djembe, and your lessons are really helpful!

Thanks/ please please what are the drums tuned to. And how.

[@RhythmNotes]

I usually tune them to 5ths and 4ths that work with the song and the best resonance for the weather. Have you seen my tuning video? czcams.com/video/SVPxEkciXmI/video.htmlsi=OoZIw9pk59eI87CN

You definitely shouldn’t throw a lick during a break, that could get you fired.

Drums are tuned to low.

[@RhythmNotes]

That's the best those would do that day.
