### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Since the dawn of time...the beat goes on....
*by K***N on February 25, 2020*

Would you like to have fun?? Get yourself some congas, a wagon to pull them from the car, join a drum circle, That will really be all you need to do, spend, or know. It's ok if your shy, self conscious, or never touched a drum before you show up, in fact usually someone will usually offer to lend you a maraca, tambourine, or a drum to use if you brought nothing. You don't need to be able to speak to strangers, the drums are loud and constant. You don't need to know how to play, Everytime the group mind ends one rhythym, several people will start new patterns until eventually most will start playing the same, (this all happens by instinct or something, no one says a word about it, it just happens) a few will be playing something else or another, but it doesn't disturb the dominant beat at all. And no one will be able to tell how you sound at all, really, so play your heart out, that is really the way most people in the drum circle learned as well, try to figure out the best and do what you can, you will really surprise yourself because it's like you are part of a "hive mind". You can get great deals on drums in pawn shops. Then if you really want to learn faster, use YouTube, and this great famous book and it's cd, and just playing whatever your heart and soul puts out, and you will know why people love hand drumming so much. Google the physical and mental health benefits, universality and very ancient history of hand drumming, you will be stunned and amazed, but after your first or second time, you will know the fantastic claims are all true and then some. All these strangers meet up, most often never saying a word, and get on the same rhythyms, and somehow everyone just agrees without a word that one is done, stop for a few moments, several people start a new one others begin joining back in, until one beat dominates again, and that repeats until the circle starts breaking up. People passing by will get in the middle and start dancing, some start showing up to dance regularly. It's a joyous, very special event, that are showing up and organizing groups and sessions everywhere, just like cultures had been doing since the dawn of time. It is very good for the mind and emotions, very joyous, and it costs nothing once you have a drum (and you can even participate without that) and whatever it takes to get there. No one is in "charge" if you want to drum a different beat, no one cares, people come and leave, no one cares, if you can only get there for an hour in the middle, that's really ok, no one cares, no one makes any judgements on anyone else, everyone is too into the music.Read this interesting and innovative book, get yourself to a nearby drum circle, you just show up, there is no registration or sign up, just ask around where to look for cancellations or change of venue in case of bad weather or emergency.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent introductory book
*by M***E on April 22, 2007*

I found this book invaluable for learning the basics of conga drumming without a teacher. I used it for several months before hitting my first conga class, and was really glad I had worked with the book. I was able to pick up right away with the rest of the class on several of the rhythms. However, I will warn anyone using the book that this drumming world is steeped with "variations". That is, you'll frequently find that your teacher is using a slightly different variation than the one taught in the book. This is fine, however, since it's usually easy to alter what you're doing slightly.One of the more impressive aspects of the methods in this book is the holistic approach, for example, teaching how to feel the clave underneath the rhythms you're playing. The book also does about as good a job as any book can at teaching the hand technique, although I highly recommend complementing this with good videos of accomplished conga players. Youtube, for example, is a great resource. Here again, though, you will find different philosophies of technique, and again your teacher may have his own emphasis.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much to learn!
*by D***O on December 6, 2020*

There is so much to learn from this book. So many rhythems and methods to quickly advance any beginner or intermediate learner.
