Playing funk and R&B conga patterns requires a slightly different approach than the traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms. Although the sounds still need to be accurate and high quality, the heavy heel strokes and marcha feel is not as important to your success. Funk conga patterns are about syncopated and non-syncopated rhythms. They're about interacting with the other rhythm section instruments, the melody, vocals, and other song textures. As an auxiliary percussionist, this is best achieved when you master the instrument from the traditional methods and move toward producing popular sounds for music that reaches the masses, like R&B or funk. // Conga Guide eBook ⭐ 0:00 Introduction 0:44 Playing Congas With Drum Set 1:07 Conga Sounds 2:27 Funk Conga Pattern 1 3:20 Funk Conga Pattern 2 4:03 Funk Conga Pattern 3 4:39 Funk Conga Pattern 4 // Rhythm Insider Benefits (Free Gift!) ⭐
