Technique for playing Three Congas by SteveN Kroon
In this video lesson Steven
Kroon demonstrates playing technique using three
congas. He prefers
a set up with three congas rather than two congas because of the
melodic qualities and extra notes. It allows the conga player to add more
excitement and flexibility to the music. Kroon also discusses tuning
the drums to C, E, G.
