In bongos lesson 1 you will learn about the construction of the bongos, tuning, tones, and a basic rhythm.
The bongos are typically found in Latin American music and cuban music. They can be used for so much more than those genres though.
Please subscribe to my channel for more lessons and videos :)

Thanks for the correct placement of bongo drums for me... I am a lefty but I think still high drum on left side suits me best... just got bongo drums today and was struggling for last hour. U solved it for me. Though I still play beats with my left hand on high drum and tap with my right hand but still putting high drum on left side makes it so easier for me. :)

Hey Paul. Can you explain the obsession with the Martillo? Almost every bongo video is just people playing a martillo. Drum videos aren’t just people playing a rock beat. Don’t understand. I get it has its place in a samba rhythm section, but that’s it it seems. Surely an instrument is there to be used as you like, taken to new ground, played in new ways. There are a thousands of genres and rhythms beyond martillo/samba… a million rhythms that can work musically within and around any accompaniment. Jimmy Hendrix played his guitar upside down (and no he didn’t learn to play it the right way round first!).

I see the date on this. However my advice is for you to research more vids. There are a good number of vids here on the tube of a large number of different playing styles. Check out Bongorilla. He's here on youtube under that name. I started watching his vids and was playing my 1st set of drums and raising my neighbors eyebrows and gained smiles. One told me he had been listening to my progression over the course of about a month of hearing me play telling me that I had improved alot. But check him out. He plays to a wide variety of music and mixes his martillo with his own unique variations and cadence that aren't the martillo.

Some instruments were made FOR A CERTAIN TYPE OF MUSIC. The fact that we discover that it can fit in other styles, it's another thing. Just because you can use them anywhere else, doesn't take away the place they were actually fucking used and came from in the first place. Answered your curiosity and your comparison?

Congratulations and thanks for your great first lesson about bongos Happy to find it out. I hope you will keep up the good work. I just purchased an LP Aspire 601 (6.75" x 8") and I was surprised and disappointed to hear that it had been tuned upside down, i.e. high notes on the Hembra and low notes on the Macho. As a beginner I struggled to retune it correctly. I downloaded iDrumTune Pro to help me and read a lot of documentation, but I'm not sure about the result. It says (sometimes) : Macho: 85 Hz / D2 and Hembra 62 Hz / E2, it doesn't sound bad but it's variable and I think it's not the right octaves. I read that it should be between the 6th and the 4th. I don't dare to push the Macho who is already cracking. I hope you'll make a video on this subject. There's a lack on the Net.

When you say “we want try to keep them even” while adjusting the lug nuts, do you mean “even” as far as the tension or torque needed to turn the lug nuts, or do you mean even by the number of rotations each lug nut makes around the lug bolts? I have a cheap set, and in order to get equal torque needed to turn the lug nuts, they are most definitely not equal when it comes to number of rotations on the bolt itself. And vice versa.
