Awesome. As a relative newby, I discovered this one on my own but I thought I was "cheating" or "breaking the rules". This video is very revelatory because its opened up the idea that I don't have to follow rules as much as i thought. I found a video with the great CANDIDO CAMERO and on this particular vid he gets rid of the double strokes altogether. Just plays a straight tumbao alternating left/right the entire way. Your vid and his created a synthesis for me and inspired me to put together some "tumbao rudiments" that strengthen the ability to play the tumbao regardless of the hand pattern as well develop technique that allows one to throw in different accents and drums without loosing the tumbao groove and flow.

Thank you Cosmo - I am thrilled for your discovery and honored to have been a part of it. Music is about making sound, however you are able to make it. Sometimes rules and patterns are helpful and arguably necessary, sometimes they are neither :-) Play what you feel and play what the music needs. Let your creativity set you free. It is always good to know the rules before you break them. But in music, what came first: rules, or freedom to invent?

Interesting idea...I don't know exactly how Candido played it this way but it's made me think of alternating the 'heel toe' and all the strokes would be played on the opposite side following the two open tones. Thanks

these are good to have but theres some easier variations. just me but i think the alternating 3 fill after your slap distorts the marcha "sound". i might leave it at a doubles roll w/right hand alternating slaps and opens to start and throw some optional rests around if you want to boil it down to singles

@@BmakinFilmI think that he maybe see and hear that when you get faster the quality of the sounds you produce decrease especially because of your right hand and also surely because what ever you play here has to be related to the music in terms of how to incorporate your pattern In the drum s’ one. what we clearly hear too is that you stay focused on the tempo but not on what is happening IN the music. Of course you could reply that it is not true but as a percussionist since 44 years I strongly recommend you to check how to play a proper tumbao using the heel_toe technique on KZitem: conga lesson Changuito-evolution of the tumbadoras congas- You can go at 9.35 minutes when they start to talk about all the different strokes -on el tambor- With respect have a good one and thank you for the ideas and for everything you said which is so true.
