Percussion Secrets - Learn Percussion from a professional percussionist
 
 

Finally, a way to learn essential skills for playing Congas and Percussion

Give me a few hours of concentrated practice and learning with these lessons you'll be sounding like a percussion professional; even if you've never touched one of these instruments before!

If you're a Drummer, a Singer, or any Musician who wants to improve your skills, or a music teacher who wants to know more about the area of percussion, then I urge you to find out more about how my percussion secrets training will help you to:

  • Learn and successfully execute every time essential sounds and playing techniques for conga and bongo drums
  • know how to make hand percussion instruments sound good - so that you perform like a professional percussionist on stage
  • Know where and how to use percussion so that it is tasteful and adds a new dimension to your music
  • Fast track your way to years worth of knowledge and experience playing percussion, even if you've never touched one of the instruments before!

Percussion Secrets is a course designed to do just one thing:

To help YOU sound like a professional on percussion.

Percussion is an often mis-understood field.

Did you know that studios often hire specialists to lay down the tambourine track?

Did you know that to play the congas effectively in a group situation requires exactly the right sounds and playing techniques – otherwise you can just end up with sore hands and not being heard at all?

There are loads of websites and instructional programs out there that can help you learn drums, but very few that show you the basics of how to play percussion.

The few websites and videos I could find to demonstrate hand percussion always seem to concentrate on making the presenter look good – rather than giving you real information that you can use in your band.

That's why in percussion secrets you won't see me showing off my skills – you'll simply get the "nuts and bolts" information you need to sound good on percussion in your band

In Percussion Secrets you will learn:

  • How to play basic conga patterns that work in a rock or pop band
  • A great pattern that will work with bongos in a funk or rock song
  • The techniques for playing a rock tambourine so that it sits well in a band
  • The secrets of making a shaker groove consistent, so that it adds a new dimension to the sound of a group
  • How and where to use percussion in pop ballads so that it is tasteful.

Part One – Video Lessons explaining the Basic Techniques

Bonus #1

Ensemble Performance Split Screen Videos

One of the challenges with percussion is knowing what instruments will go with waht, particularly if you are directing singers and other musicians, or laying down multiple tracks in the studio.

In Percussion Secrets we decided to include four bonus recordings of the Jam tracks, with split screen views showing how each of the instruments works together.

Here is a short example:
 
 

Bonus #2

10 variations on the standard conga beat

The standard 4/4 Time Conga Pattern - commonly called the "Tumbao" is comprehensively covered in the conga drum lessons within this course. When we were putting the finishing touches to this program we thought...

What else can be useful to anyone wanting to master their conga and percussion playing?

The answer was simple. What you need to be effective on congas (and keep yourself from becoming really "stuck in a rut", playing the same thing over and over again) is a "cheat sheet" of patterns. Thats why we decided to record ten variations of the basic conga pattern, that you can listen to fast and slow, print out and refer back to whenever you feel you need some more inspiration.
