Thank you! I'm really learning. Good teaching.

Thank you so much! The information you share is so useful.

EXCELLENT breakdown - thank you!

Something thats looks so hard and complex gets broken down for reallity simplicity.Good teaching, simple things like this are cool and inspiring.

pretty well explained...thank you

I love this guy! Thanks a lot

Fantastic 🔥🔥

What a tease at the end!

Me encantó esa combinación, saludos brother

Really great, clear instruction - excellent thus far. I'm going to go for the second half on patreon. Only one slight criticism - it would be nice to see/hear exactly how the 3/2 rumba clave pattern is superimposed over guanguanco conga pattern...

I tried the cloning thing and got into an argument and had to abandon it before it came to blows. Useful stuff as always. Thanks and Be Cool.

I have been playing congas for over forty years, so I guess this must be your style I have never ever seen guaguanco played like that and really all due respect your off tone.

I was really catching on.....but where was the last part about one player playing both drums in the Guaquanco rhythm?

Awesome 😎

Thanks for this excellent video. Could you post some written musical notation for it? Had trouble finding the continuation of this video on patreon.com. Thanks for the help.

Very nice 👍

Gracias!!! Thank you!!!!

Great lessons.

Awesome

Thanks!

Excellent master, magnificent class! Very well explained! And something very important is to wait for the "Salidor" of the "Tres-Dos". Thank you!

Easy to understand!!

I love this video Kalani, I'm not a big fan of this percussion instrument usually, too big and noisy for me, but you're finally the person who made me want to try it :)

At 01:44, that sounds like " A Caballo " rhythm.

I was asking my band for congas and my drummer showed up with bongos because apparently they're similar enough. ???

This is something that should be in rap music

my head,s exploding .

It looks exactly how it sounds

haha 'zombie strokes, they're still alive but they're not' hahaha

Ok elite purists, if you can teach it better, please help him out with constructive comments or provide a link to YOUR lesson. Be grateful that he brings it to the table for discussion. He is sticking his neck out to reach across a cultural distance. This is a well known element of the Romantic temperament in western music called exoticism. He is also doing the most obvious thing to inspire beginners by helping them get their hands familiar with a rhythm and sticking until it becomes a "feel". Great job Kalani!!! ***PS...these free lessons act as teasers, and beckon one to purchase access to the expertise, and intellectual property of these providers where they do address deeper issues and approaches within their context.*** [snark alert] I'm surprised that I had to come right out and say this...damn!!!

I don't want to be mean but this is NOT how you play Guaguaco at all. You playing the part of the guagua sticks on the tres dos (second drum) .. That will confuse the parts and patterns. There cannot be a Rumba with out clave. You can never play this at a rumba with others., Everyone would stop playing . Different patterns yes, but this is all wrong.

Not bad

A dead tone only found on a dead drum. It's a bass tone. It's the bottom. All due respect.

Last minute idiocy. Never coming back. Lots of other instructors who don't play games.

This is a new age guy I gather. His technique is poor. He is not playing tones. It’s really not something for serious players. More drum circle kind of material.

You've got to be kidding,why do they let people like this who know nothing about afro-cuban music try to teach.im sorry but he's a joke!!!!

Sorry man...no sentimiento at all. Toque muerto.....
