Hi everyone!

The way to do it is to go to any university like UM or FIU and go directly to the percussion dept. and ask for contact info on the instructors. Most of them teach outside of school time.
Hector Neciosuop is Alex Acuna's nephew and is a teacher at FIU. I've taken classes with him in his house....drumset, batas, congas, timbales, you name it. He's very good in explaining and knows what he's doing.
Good luck.

The way to go is with Tomas Cruz or with Yoel the conga drummer with the band Oriente...These are the "cats" in Miami....take it from me on this one....."JC" Johnny Conga...
