Released 2001;
Editor's Pick:
This beautiful book/CD package is one of the best instructional guides for understanding how the instruments of the Afro-Cuban percussion section (timbales, congas, bongos, and sometimes drumset) function as a unit. The rhythms described are presented for each of these instruments, so you will benefit from this whether or not timbales are your instrument.
Included are wonderful, in-depth interviews with some of the finest timbaleros around, including Mike Collazo, Johnny Almendra and Jose Madera.
Also incorporated into this superbly designed book are note-for-note transcriptions of some of Latin music's most memorable timbale solos by Manny Oquendo and Guillermo Barreto.
Highly recommended. (BP, 2001-10-12)
Description:
More than a collection of syncopated rhythms, Afro-Cuban music is a highly developed art form based on tradition. Like learning a new language, there are different "situations" that need to be understood when playing this music, because each situation requires a different approach.
The purpose of this book is to explain how the instruments of the Afro-Cuban percussion section (timbales, congas, bongos, and sometimes drumset) function as a unit. The rhythms are first presented for timbales, then with conga and bongos, and finally with adaptations for drumset.
Special emphasis is given to developing the practical skills necessary to play Afro-Cuban music in a professional setting. Reading a chart can be a difficult experience if you are not sure what to play in different sections of an arrangement. Attention to what to play in different sections of songs, as well as the equally important transitions, are covered in detail.
The study of playing timbales is also valuable because everything played on timbales can be directly transferred to drumset. Drumset students will learn how to compliment an Afro-Cuban percussion section as well as how to emulate timbale an conga rhythms when playing without these instruments.
The ability to solo in a convincing way is a requirement when playing Afro-Cuban music. By developing a solo vocabulary, the necessary independence skills and an ear for the music, you will be able to combine the necessary techniques. And, keep in mind, you must play "in clave!"
Solutions to these problems and more are found in this book.
