My course is designed as a private lesson. We first embark on the four individual key hand stokes in depth such as:

  • Open Tone

  • Slap Tone

  • Heel and Toe (Manoteo) Technique

Now, just think, once you understand those four basic hand techniques, you will know how to play several conga rhythms such as; Marcha, Chachachá, Tumbao, Basic Samba Rhythm, and the “Funky” all around type of groove. That is pretty-cool! Right?

This course is constructed for beginners of all ages, for people who already play drums, or percussion, who want to understand how to produce a good sound on conga drums. In the end, it is all about learning, having fun and keeping music and rhythm in your life to enjoy.
