Who is this course for...

If you’ve ever felt stuck playing the same conga pattern over and over—or unsure how to be expressive on a single drum—you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. This course is ideal for: - IntermediateAfro-Cuban players who want to lock in with the band more naturally - Pop or Rock percussionists who want a sound that’s adaptable ¬ “overly Latin” - Non-percussionists who know the basic tumbao and want to really develop it
