- WEEKDAY WORKOUTS ON BONGOS!!! AND IT'S TUTORIAL THURSDAYS!!!!
So this week, we are going to focus strictly on workouts that you can try out everyday on Bongos...
Today we are talking about how I developed my speed on Bongos... I always say Speed is not Everything... But it does help you develop clarity when done right. Take your time with these exercises and try using a metronome when doing so.
I hope y'all enjoy this one. Tell me what you think...

I thing that worked for me: take a lesson in darbuka, that really helps to develop speed.
Short story. Last semester of college a friend suggested I take speed reading. I went from 400 words per minute to 4000 in a few weeks. When we learn how to read we speak our words. Most people never break the connection between their mouths and reading so only read as fast as they can speak. Just using our eyes changes everything. I've always thought that speed reading should be taught in elementary or junior high school. So, I've only been playing my bongos for a couple of weeks. I've mastered everything I've seen but tonight I was looking for speed. Your video changed everything. I happily couldn't keep up and am loving having a challenge to build on. Knowing how important speed, form and clarity are this early on will help me as I progress. Thanks for this great video. I'll subscribe too.
This is THE MOST important lesson so far, thanks!
Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!
Excelente!!!!! Gracias hermano.
Awesome, nicely done Bro!
Great bongo class as usual dude. It's simple, you're one the best, as far as I'm concerned.
No tengo palabras para describir cuanto me sirven tus videos!!! Gracias !!!!!
Hello! I really like your channel. Your exercises are very helpful, and the way you present them is didactically well done. You are a loving and warm-hearted personality!
Greetings from Germany
Hi brother! You are absolutely a terasure, thanks for sharing your secrets:) God bless you.
This is one of my many faves of your lessons. You are an inspiration with techniques, and histories. My percussion life has exploded since I subscribed 1yr ago. And still along way to go. Been jamming with friends for years, but I kinda sucked, never knew of cha-cha, guanguaco, Mozambique or ANY style/beat. Stuff like stories about the great musicians like TaTa G. (RIP). All the ritmos, beats, drills, overheads, etc., are great.
We drummers owe you!
It's like rock climbing I love it. You have more workouts?
Fabulous video! I can feel the difference in my speed and accuracy building just after a few minutes of doing each one. One thing that I have experimented with is doing an exercise that starts with the right hand on, say the hembra. But then doing the same exercise starting with the left hand on the macho. Like the 4 hits on the hembra starting with my right hand and one on the macho for a bit. Then four hits on the macho and one on the hembra starting with my left hand. Great for both speed and coordination development with both the dominant and the non-dominant hand. Thanks for these lessons!
Really good…talk about exercise
Muy buenos vídeos con el bongo.me encantaría fueran en español
este man si enseña bien parce.
I’m new to the channel, dig what you’re doing. Do you have any merch?
Welcome to the Channel! And I don't at the moment, but I do plan to eventually.
Eric please how ti do a tumbao on the bongos? French from Italy
Good video, very helpful..Please what is the model of your Bongo?
I was doing that when starting out & had junk De Rosa bongos that had vintage key tuning at the top & they hurt my hands when I was improving so I went to LP Aspire bongos & that helped me to improve so much that I needed high end bongos yeah the LP Giovanni galaxy bongos that I have now & my playing is advanced finally after my losy set of De Rosa bongos that I tuned into the Deseret Industries thrift store for someone else to enjoy! Not worth selling those like I sold my LP Aspire bongos! Now I look into your techniques then add my flavor to my bongo playing so thanks again Eric!
Great content Erick! Could you tell me what specific kind of heads do you have on your Meinl bongos on this video? I love their sound/look and I’d like to try them on my own set of Meinl bongos. Thanks a lot! Muchos éxitos y bendiciones mi hermano✌🏼
Thank you! Both skins are from Manito Percussion. I have a thin Horse on the Macho and a Medium Thick Steer skin on the Hembra
I’ve been meaning to ask you about the ring you wear while playing drums. It doesn’t bother you while you’re playing? By the way, keep the video coming and thanks!
It's a rubber ring... kinda what some athletes use. But it doesn't bother me or cause any injury. Thanks for the support!
La locura
you are so nicein bongo i love you
Please, tutoriales en español
Gonna rip out those drums NOW
AYYYYE! Rompe!
bahn-gose? hey man, this is america🤣
Oye! Y edo ese cuero es de cocodrilo?
Is there a reason why the rim of the hembra is almost level with the head?
Same as my 2001 LP Matadors Hembra almost level
Cuanta labia tenés papa EH!
Who’s the 1 hater that thumbs down this video? I want to see their video.
