Book Reviews of Poncho Sanchez' Conga Cookbook: Develop Your Conga Playing by Learning Afro-Cuban Rhythms from the Master
Book Review: A great conga book
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm taking a conga lesson at college with one of the percussion professors here and he required me to get this book. The book is an easy read, with a bit of history at the beginning and then LOTS of exercises. Every sound that is generally used on the drum is defined and then the book leaves you on your own. The accompanying CD has many of the exercises on it so you can analyze how the exercises should sound as opposed to what you sound like. Every exercise is notated with the type of stroke to use and which hand it should be played with. There are preliminary exercises for each pattern covered, along with variations of the patterns. The book says on the front that each chapter contains a favorite recipe from Poncho, and literally that's what is in there. I was reading through chapter 1 and was very surprised when I got to "Refried Beans and Spanish Rice." I thought the book had meant some cool conga beat recipe, but no, it was food! I highly recommend this book as I'm getting a lot out of it, but you cannot develop correct playing technique from this book without the guidance of a good teacher.
