live at jazzbones in Tacoma WA.

My New Hawaiian Mango conga drums made by Tom Alexander

8th note shuffle in the left hand while the right hand works its way into playing 3/2 rumba clave on the tumba drum, try also 2/3 and 3/2 Son clave as well...work for speed....

one video on how to play the "conga" rhythm pattern on 2 congas "commercial band" style versus in an actual "Comparsa", where the parts are played seperatly..the second one is a 'split hand" independant exercise...try all the clave patterns in the right hand and also work for speed...

Left hand exercise but try with the right hand as well
