Greg_L--

This has to be your new tag line. With all due respect to Ace Ramone, of course.

Look, I'm trying to do you a favor/help. There's no need to get salty/mad....I can't "let" you come in here and spread your false/wrong "info" and corrupt the young minds/brains of percussionists trying to lear/n. I'm offering to set you straight..... I'm sure in the jungles of the Congo/Zimbabwe, your out-of-time bongo drums go unnoticed. Here in the real world/planet,,,,, the Dr. G_L method has been used by millions/dozens of percussionists.... that are way better/bester than you.... You can join this elite class of percussionist/drummer if you would just stop being such a clamshell/chimp/noggin.
 
Greg_L I already told you what you are, don't try to get into comedy here that is not going to work for me or to switch this into a joke you are lucky that you are in this forum, where people don't get banned for rambling.Dr. Zaragemca
 
He still hasn't answered my question.

I'll answer his.

Your first screw up is at 14:00 where you drop the tempo with your left hand for a bit.

First phrase 1 & a 2 e & a

Big deal

Then you're adding a 32nd note drag into the phrase before 2 and switching the syncopation 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 placing triplet 32nd notes before the articulation. Then you change it to 1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 , screwing up the transtions in the process and then you just get faster from there.:rolleyes:
 
Exactly! You see Nurse Z, you're a hack! Your timing is all over the map. Jeez, let me help you.

my little brother was a big muchachos fan... and i had freinds that were in the senior corps...
 
PhilGood,your were a bad lawyer for Greg_L,... since your talking about a drum/set vocabulary and all the questions are in relation to Conga articulation,(it means you do n't even have a clue of Afrocuban Percussion structures),..I'm talking about Conga Patterns, and you are answering with musical notes values... another notshell/Monkey/head, without knowledge about Afrocuban Percussion.Dr. Zaragemca
 
Mr. Zaragemca (since I do not intend to imply any authority you do not deserve)

I do not play congas, nor have I any intention of learning them, in the same that you have no expertise in the traditional fields of percussion. Afrocuban percussion means precisely DICK to me. In the same it means precisely DICK to 95% of the world. I do, however, know some of the best latin percussionists in the world and have heard what they can do. I do know what it should sound like.

I have played and studied with and under some of the best percussionists in the world and I can tell you in no uncertain terms:

You sir, are a HACK! And a very self-important, self inflated windbag of a hack at that, which are the worst kind.

Greg_L has my un-dying respect simply because he does not pretend to be anything more than who he really is. That cannot be said about you. Especially with a self-inferred title, which you still have never answered if it's legitimate or not. Since you constantly dodge the question I can assume that my guess is correct. You therefore have no legitimate leg to stand and anything you say has no credit at all.
 
And WTF is a notshell/Monkey/head?:confused:

Dear God, man! At least try to learn our language.
 
BTW, how do expect to be able to teach someone when you use made-up words like notshell and percutive? Oh your poor students! Those poor people.
 
Okay, I gotta speak up

I play kit (mostly jazz and blues) I am a djembefola and I also play Middle-Eastern percussion for dance. For me, drum is a verb. I just love what I do. I won't call myself an expert (others have, but they were probably just having a good time at the show and wanted to compliment everybody). I always feel like I'm learning and just keep getting better all of the time. I teach a lot (it's good to earn the extra money, but I really like teaching and seeing people grow into their art).
In West African percussion, you cannot call yourself a master, only other West African masters can call you a master. They have called me a djembefola and like when I play with them. Arabic musicians can be a lot crueler and will literally tell you to leave if they don't like how you are playing. I play with many arabic musicians and they have never asked me to leave (and I have seen them tell others to go away). Jazz musicians like playing with me because they like how I bend the beat and add to the music.
Life is a total blast and I love making music with other people. I will always think of myself as a student no matter how many people tell me how "great" I am, brcause I am always improving and I am grateful every time that I sit with other musicians to make music. Sometimes real great things happen and other times it may just be a conversation with others and we can laugh at each other when we screw something up.
I like being respected as a colleague and I like sharing (and I always like getting paid) but that's enough.
Shouldn't that be enough?

And THAT is how you earn respect! ...Humbly!

In other words: You don't go around beating your own drum?:D

You have mine!

Respect, that is.
 
Not that any more testimony is needed, but--

GregL taught me the PROPER way to play a flamadiddle. I had been doing it wrong for years!!!! It's much more difficult than I had first thought.

Thanks Greg!!!!

You can't put a price on knowledge like that!!!!
