Here's a video that I compiled from footage we shot 11 months ago to be exact. Life has its twists and turns and this project kept going on the back burner. But I finally finished it! First of all I wanted to acknowledge Miguelito Leon #atxdrummer #guaguancó #rumba #michaeljacksoncover

We cooked up a little Guarapachangeo to warm up the class today. What donyou think?

Unfortunately for Orville, he discovered what a drum circle is. #atxdrummer #rumba #yambú

Here's Ian and Alfonso.and I doing a little pre-class Guiro. What do you think?

I am super grateful that I have found such a wonderful group of students that allow me to teach one of my most passionate interests!

This particular rhythm goes out to Chano if you look him up, use the spelling Shango. You can find an entry on Wikipedia. He's a fascinating diety and historical figure!

We kind of learned this one by ear. So it's not exactly Akete Oba, but it's pretty close. Stick around for the end, you'll see a special guest joining us.

Here's a little hybrid of a song we threw together. A cross between a Guaguancó and a chant for Eleguá

Took out my #guataca from #matanzascuba out for a spin last night. How loud could it possibly be? #atxdrummer

Tecnically speaking, we should have 6 people to cover all of the percussion parts to get a good Guaguancó going. How do you think we did with only 3? #handpercussion #latinpercussion #atxdrummer

I heard the other day that Nico McBrain was retiring. This particular intro is something that I was completely intimidated by when I first heard it. I was so intimidated, in fact, that since 1986 I never even dared to learn it.

This was our first try at playing Batá for Alfonso's Afro-Latin movement class at Esquina tango. This one went out to Ogun #batá #ogun #atxdrummer #atxmusicscene

Im planning on doing this every Saturday 3-5 at Mueller lake park. Interested in coming by?
