Hi,
I am new on this Forum, whether I know this site long time. Here in Czech Republic (for those who don't know - it is in central Europe), there is big problem to gain any information about percussion or to find any good teacher and this is why I appreciate this site very much.
I have two question about instructional Videos:
1) I need some video which would show me if I am on the right way with my technique on congas. You know, I listened to great congueros, looked at them in concerts and I think that my strokes sounds quite good but I want to be sure, that I haven't learnt some bad habits. Besides, I would like this video to teach me also some new rhythms and exercises.. I am thinking over Bobby Sanabria's third video which attracts me because of Guaguanco part but I don't know if there is reviewed the technique...???
2) Is there any video covering playing timbales and congas at the same time?I thing that among others it is Changuito who masters this technique.
I will be glad for any advice.

P.S.: If you knew about any good teacher in my invirons (Germany, the Netherlands..) who teaches Afro-Cuban instruments, that would also help me very much.
