Attention! You've done it! Without you it wouldn't have been possible. My videos have now reached the milestone of 1.2 million hits.

Dear YouTuber,

Here on my YouTube site I've created videos for you to understand the basic approach to learning how to develop the most important thing to play the congas; this happens to be tones. If you've never played before and have the feeling you want to start; then you've come to the right place. I must stress, it's all about the tones. Once you master them (e.g., open, closed, bass, muff, and slap tones) everything else will fall into place. In addition to this, I want to mention that my YouTube site is not just for beginners but for intermediate and advanced players too.

I'm sure by now you've noticed that I've uploaded many videos that were from my trip to Cuba. I was blessed enough to be able to travel there in the summer of 2000, hence, I brought back the videos that I'm sharing today. There will be more in the future, but at the moment I'm in school trying to complete a degree. As a result from the pressure of achieving a higher education, music had to be put on the back burner until I graduate; but I'll be back.

Note to everyone: I couldn't keep up with all the spam, negative, and/or comments of bad nature on my videos so I turned the comments off, however, I want to personally thank all of you who have left or commented my videos with nothing more than positive feedback. You're the ones that inspire me to share more.

Finally, I want to say thanks to all of you for the success of my YouTube channel by subscribing to it, and for those who haven't yet, you should because you won't be disappointed.
