Kalani has been a dear friend, mentor, collaborator, and all around cool guy to me for over 15 years (yes, it's been that long). Kalani, I appreciate your simple, direct, and inclusive teaching style with all these instruments. You are a true master at teaching and I learn something from you each time I watch these videos. Your attention to detail from the sound of the recording itself to the actual technique of playing is unmatched by anyone. You have a gift for teaching, playing and most importantly, communicating complex processes into small manageable portions so that we can ALL learn IN rhythm together. I am proud to call you friend and teacher. Well Done, bro!

I've also heard of the large and small ends of the drum ("Inu" and "Cha Cha") referred to as the "Mouth" and "Butt" of the drum. I don't know how legit that is, but you can check for yourself.

Bata is from my town and my tribe plays it. It is the favourite of Yorubas'. You can contact me for order of the real bata. Great introduction there

Unfortunately no one can say the real batá are the one from the Yoruba nowadays. First, cause the patterns are all similar but differ in sounds and techniques cause we always play with bear hands. Second when we go deep and look at other different factors like the cultural and artistic ones it is impossible to separate or compare one religion or the other since we are talking about transculturation and syncretisism not culture appropriation since our ancestors where the ones brought them we didn't go anywhere to get them. We have done good trying to keep this tradition alive and of course thanks to the great sacred legacy that we have been kept and defend for centuries as it was practiced since they stepped into our land. Maybe we need to be informed and educated a bit more not just about what happened there but also about the whole cultural journey that brought what it is today what you can see there and now we can enjoy. Thanks man. I now watching this again and still is a wonderful lesson.

Sorry for my english. It is fine but that rythm is too much far to the essence of the music played whit bata drums. Those drums have a strong ceremonial character. I am not saying that the context should be necessary religious but some of that atmosphere always is included. I hope you understand me hahaha Anyway, i like your channel! :)

It's funny that you talk about mridangam and then from cutting batas in 2 to make bongos, cause the same happened to mridangam to make tablas, that's why each hand always stays on the same side.

Santeria has absolutely NOTHING to do with Christianity, the "Christian" images are just a way to disguise their deities dating back to the time of slavery where they where not allowed to worship their deities freely so they made them look like Christian saints, but real Christianity has absolutely nothing to do with that. Do at least minimal research before talking about subjects you just clearly dont understand.
