I don't know what you do for a living, but I must say you're a very good teacher.

Man, always something new, and relevant to becoming a better congero. Brah maybe im biased, but i dont even look for other tutorials. You got me busy learning as much as i can with what you give. Gracias papa. Dios te bendiga.

My thoughts exactly. I had to make a play list dedicated to conga playing and it's exclusively him. This man is a game changer. He actually teaches and you can tell he puts a lot of thought on how best to break down his patterns for his viewers. He does it so flawlessly that we don't even realize we learned the material. Amazing content and teaching style.

Excellent tutorial isolated your tones. I always tell my students clean tones are the language of the drum. As always Eric great work.

Love to add these to my exercise regimen! One of my instructors always recommended doing exercises starting with one hand and then do as many reps starting with the opposite hand and drums in a reverse fashion. It was great advice in helping to build ambidexterity which makes one a better player in my opinion.

Nice one bro 👍🏻like I said, I'd let you know how the doubles are working out.. Wrist control improved immensely but only managing to do about 60min practice most days, some days a bit more.. Sitting around 65 to 70 Bpm. These exercises are another great addition to the daily practice. Much appreciated as always bro 🙏🏼

So this is what it's reaally all about; finding more and more intricate ways of annoying ourselves...? Not only that but getting to actually like it too! COOL!
