TruncaleOne of my many ldquo;bucket listrdquo; things I wanted to do is learn how to play the drums with and without drums sticks. I saw this 160 page soft cover book (Conga drumming: A beginnerrsquo;s guide to playing with time by Alan Dworsky and Betsy Sansby. which also includes a CD to better understand the 175 rhythms taught in the book) on for a bargain price and I purchased it. Even though I have had a few lessons using my drum sticks I thought it would also be fun to learn something about playing the Conga drums.This book is organized into eight parts with 43 lessons. The first part explains how to hit the drum using rhythms in four. The second part deals with Bembe rhythms in six. The third part focuses on the clave. The fourth part explains heel-toe patterns. Advanced rhythms are covered in the fifth part. The sixth part teaches advanced rhythms in six. Playing two drums are explained in part seven. The last part has interweaving four and six. There are also sources for further study and an index of rhythms.In learning any skill nothing takes the place of taking lessons from an instructor; however. I found this book very helpful when I combined it with some basic hands-on lessons. There are not many books out on Conga drumming and if you are seeking a good basic volume on this topic you should check out this book.Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J.

Good info. a little complexBy TwlbI bought this for my 13yr old son. who is new to conga drumming. It was less immediatly interesting than I had hoped. and for about a month it sat in the shelf ignored. But when he finally became motivated to really learn. he started using this and likes it. He also uses YouTube videos to learn.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. not so good if you are use to read musicBy Magnot what I expected. maybe good for someone who dont know how to read real chart. The book teach basic rhythm like bembe.tumbao.bomba.calypso.rumba. and include an audio example of each rhythm what is nice. But I read music since Im young so I find the annotation system they use more annoying than practical. So. good book if you a beginner in music but personally maybe not good if you know music and you begin with conga. also I though it will have audio that you can really have fun playing with .but its really more just example of all the rhythms in the book.
