I have to look for those drum loops. I did these maybe 2 or 3 years ago. I do have a ton of Acid drum loops I could share. Give me some time to put together a nice volume. Maybe over the weekend.
-
DITTO, Thomas!!! The african style(s) is something I want and will learn... i'm studying this piece right now ;D
I used to chat with this brother from British VI ... he plays Zouk music ... i'll post a sample of what he taught me. Sorry, it won't be any drum loops in the background, just me.

Thanks you. I'm Jamaican on my mum's side and grew up listening to carib, reggae and latin music.

my pastor and his family are from Guyana, South America ... so that carib. flava is all in the P&W ... usually I'm bringing it in on the bass and my pastor might jump on the congos ;D ... I luv it
-
Cool vibe. Good to know that some folks around here are down with the carribean latin flavas. I might have to post up a little afro-cuban vibe up here.

I'm sorry, I got the links messed up. Here is the correct link for the carribbean styled groove.

Nice DWBass...Do any of guys or ladies know any books/DVDs to suggestion to study African and Jamaican styles? I will start with this one. Look forward to your clip LadyBass. Thanks to all in advance.
-
I'm not aware of any instructional material geared towards African music but try checking out some African bassists websites and sending them an e-mail and maybe they will respond with some insight. Bakithi Kumalo & Richard Bona are a couple of well known African bassists.
-
Thank you. Do you teach?
-
Yeah .. I don't know of any either. Actually, I never thought to search it out. I have some african gospel music from 1 of our churches in Nigeria ... also i've downloaded mp3's (.99) from gospelreggae.com
-
I have to view that site again, you give me the info. a while back. Research is in process. This guy within the drum forum share some Afrikan clips with me and I couldn't open them, I sent him a couple of PMs---however, he doesn't visit the forum anymore. That's a boomer. Thank you LadyBass.
-
Hey Cherri .. here's a direct link to the African style MP3s on gospelreggae.com
http://www.gospelreggae.com/browse/downloads/genre/78dab30400003a003a/list.html
Currently I have "Hallelujah Amen" (I like the bass in this song), "Lift Him Up" and "Yesu Nkoa" (like the bass here too)
-
Thank you. Do you teach?
Unfortunately, I do not teach and that's mainly due to my being mostly self taught. I could probably instruct on a beginners to intermediate level but pretty basic instruction. I think I could teach what I have learned in my 30+years of playing. I am planning on making a video one of these days (have to buy a vid cam first)! I have a webcam I could use but it doesn't record in realtime. Too much of a delay to be of any use.

aiight Cherri ... here's a quick something I did. A friend of mine sent me a clip of that style of music(Zouk music ... from British Virgin Islands), but I don't want to post his music on the net without his permission. I'm mimicing the bassline from his track ... the other sound isn't congos, but me on bass using a ghost note and added flanger effect to make it sound the way it does. The timing may be off a bit on the bassline at times, but here it goes:

I liked that. Excellent use of ghost notes! I dig!

Maybe this link is better for you: http://media.learngospelmusic.com/displayimage.php?album=20&pos=2
I can't use the link i gave you previously while at work, but home it works just fine. Maybe that's the case with you.

Great! Those ghosts are freaky scary.... Yes, it does sound like a congo. You know I can't wait to get home to play around with Flanger effects. Thanks for sharing.

That ghost note sound is pretty cool. It almost sounds like your banging on an Udu drum.
And just for clarifaction about the congos, Congas are the correct name of the drum your refering to. Congo is probably were they come from?

thanks for the educational bit, basedigrace.. when I was typing my message I hesitated when I got to that part. I wasn't quite sure if I was correctly naming it because I know there are other types of hand beating drums out there.
-
Hey ladybass sounds real good. are you slapping the actual bass or thumping it with your thumb to get that percussive sound.

Neither ... just regular 2-finger fingering with my right hand

Cherri,
Here's 1 last sample of zouk music ... again, from the British Virgin Islands .... this time I borrowed my daughter's electric guitar. I can play/finger some chords (and can tell you what some of them are :D ;D ), but I'm nooooooo guitar player, so don't cring tooo much when you hear i'm not pressing the strings hard enough :D :D :D ... the bassline is the focus, of course. ;) I just wanted to do something different.

No prob. Also each conga drum has their own individual name depending on the size. Starting from the smallest to the largest it would be: Quinto, Conga, Tumba, Tumbadora and a couple of smaller versions. Hand percusion is are pretty fun instruments to play.
Maybe you can all help me out with a question. I played with this band a while back http://www.milele.com/Media/index.htm I never knew what kind of music I was playing with them because I was to busy having fun with it. All i know is that their from kenya. What kind of music would this be considered.

lady bass it sounds good keep it up ;D

Thanks (asante) for the link ... I can't listen to mp3s from work (i'll check them out further from home) but I did watch some of that unity video. Don't Kenyians speak Kiswahili?
the first thing that came to mind as to the type or style of music they play was .... they play Kenyian music :D :D ... seems as though (correct me if i'm wrong anybody) the music varies depending on the part of Africa and what influenced the music.
Check this link though http://www.kenya.com/music.html ... interesting.
