want to share with you this comment meant to be constructive. This happening a fact that now, at this point, I interpret it as a special phenomenon exclusive to those who want to play the percussion, is very common for a newcomer go to a house of tools and bought a bongo or conga, bring it home and start giving, in their ignorance, the "sixteenth with an accent on 1 and stays there day after day without moving from there or, at best, with very drumming rhythms on the drums . Muchaaaaachos!, That can not dance to anyone. The first concept that we should be clear is that the particularity of these instruments is that they must make a clear basis in the sonorous and rhythmical walking distance for people to dance. If people do not dance your rhythm you're in a problem.
Consider a fundamental instrument such as the congas, the basic instrument par excellence. We consider first the sounds and worked hard to be very clean. Basically we started with 4 basic sounds, but knowing that eventually we will, at least 10 distinct sounds from each other. With them, plus a highly developed, we will enjoy a very exquisite tonal range and enjoyment that it gives us is infinite. Why then left with 1 or 2 stereo product the lack of information can learn everything? Then with the passage of days, sounds and technology it incorporates traditional rhythms from different countries such as the Rumba and the Lying, Songo and Mozambique, Pilon, the Guaguancó, the Bembe, the pump, the Plena, Merengue, to name just a few rhythms from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Santo Domingo. Or the Feast and the Peruvian Lando, Candombe and Murga Uruguay, as well as the Argentine Zamba Chacarera and that while each played in their traditional regional instruments, the study's focus is the same.
short, must look for a good teacher can convey all the knowledge you form as a musician, so that one day playing in a band, to accompany an artist, record albums, etc. If you do not do so, everything is uphill, and is as exciting and rewarding when the instrument sounds like what you mean by that is like singing with drums. But do not forget, there are a lot of studying to do, as a medical student or a great athlete who trains many hours to run the 100 meter sprint. Nothing comes up, you need to sit your ass on the sidewalk and practice. Without going through this step, no further enjoyment ... It should be dancing
people hear you and if you stay in the "walker walker" can hardly do so.
