JC and the thing is that in Brazil the pandeiro is played differently depending on the region, the thumb or finger roll is done different.
Paulinho Da'Costa he is another monster and also plays congas quite well.And the man on the Berimbau is Nana Vasconcelos.When I first grabed a Berimbau, yes... you tire very quickly, imagine all of that weight and movement on the pinky, a finger that is most commonly used to pick your ear, also your hand feels like is retarded. Brazilian percussion is very broad, fortunally I started early and with some good teachers, and still learning. I tell now days with so much stuff to learn, you have to sleep less and walk faster.
