I always like hearing more skilled drummers talk while playing. They always talk in a way that matches the rhythm of what they're playing.

What a master. I didn't know this guy before today, and now I'm looking up all his videos.

Maestro.

This is only one of the many rhythms that are in the merengue genre. There's also Segunda, Pambiche, interboro and many other fun rhythms. Look it up. It's really interesting.

Such a good break down! I'm trying to learn Latin rhythms on the drums and this has been my favorite so far. ¡Gracias!

Señor Sanabria, ud. Es otra cosa. No puede ser buen musico, quien no siente la musica. De ahi parte su calidad de Maestro con mayuscula. Exelente su manera de enseñar, exelente su habilidad en la percusión. Despues de la clase, uno está listo pa'irse pal bembé 🎼🎵🎶🎹🎸🎷🎻🎻🥁📯

I think I'm in love with this man dios

This is a good video on the Merengue. I like this better then Tommy Igoe's notation on Groove 38. Igoe's is good but it works more as filler whereas this video's groove feels more like a main idea. Well done!

Soon as I saw his name, I knew I'd find wot I needed here ;)

É muito semelhante ao "Samba Reggae" dos blocos afros.

[drummerboy]

Hey that rhythm gives me a good idea for when Im playing Caravan by Duke Ellington on the drums.
