Here we explore my system for decoding the phrasing of african decent music, RTS - Relayed Time shifting
To get the proper feel of this music, western players must learn to do this. Without the proper feel, Your playing sounds sterile and 1 dimensional.
In this chapter we learn how to function in a percussion section. Some of the patterns were reviewed in earlier chapters so if you dont know the basics, you have to buy the DVD:-)
Chapter one is a review and a bit of history / background of Afro Cuban Music. We talk about the set up you will need for your kit and a few other great tidbits:-)
In this chapter we get to hear some soloing ideas so that we can analyze the phrasing later. Conguero Roland Piel is one of the "baddest' players in Europe. He lived and studied in Cuba for many years and is one of the most in demand percussionists worldwide.
