introduction to Candomblé drumming, part 1

Here you get to know the basic techniques for the rum (low-tuned atabaque/conga), played with hand (left) AND stick (right). This way to play will be needed in most brazilian Candomblé rhythms.

The different strokes will be shown in 9 exercises, and they will be followed by 13 more exercises in the next video (ata-13).

NOTE: If you want to go on learning candomblé drumming, please study these introducing videos (ata-12 and ata-13) profoundly!
