Entering in the percussion conga World means learning a lot about techniques, timings, rhythms… but when this seems to be comfortable, the real challenge begins… soloing, or improvisation, the art of creativity that meets preparation.
I found these 5 (five!) video lessons by Heinrich Klingmann (http://heinrichklingmann.com/) very useful to start playing with combinations that allow to prepare a set of “bullets” ready to be shoot during your improvisations.
It’s a whole 45 minutes video lesson, starting with simple “around the beat”repetition and growing up, everything clearly explained and shown in action! So, get focused and happy practicing!!

Wow very cool setup. Do you have any Black Swamp Percussion pieces there? I heard they are pretty sweet to play and they look cool too. Thanks for posting the lessons!
Hi Dan,
I don’t know them, do you use Black Swamp?
I’d love to hear your feedback about them.
You can certainly see your skills within the work you write.
The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not
