:O I was looking in the Conga Book for practice patterns.
One of the patterns by Gilbert Silveria had "d" and "s''. Forgive me......What is that? :O

d = right
s = left

What do "d" and "s" stand for...? Dominant and Submissive?

P.S. If something like that IS the case, it makes a lot more sense than "left" and "right" because it doesn't matter which hand is dominant in your playing.

But I'm just guessing here.

I don't speak Italian, but using a translator (such as that at http://www.altavista.com) one can determin that "mano destra, mano sinistra" is "right hand, left hand"

Yes, if one knew those terms.

Well 'mano destra' means the hands were you are conducting you primarily affairs like writing,etc.,if you are left- handed,then you mano-destra is going to be the left-hand(which could be confusing).

I think "d" is derecho and "s" is for surdo ? ???

Start with these-S.T.O.M.P. method-T for Tone-S for Slap and P for Palm

TT SS TT PP SS TT SS PP PP SS PP TT
RL RL RL RL RL RL RL RL RL RL RL RL

REVERSE these exercises to the left hand start also.

the same can be done also playing "doubles"...just try these and also work for "speed", try to play these as fast as you can buidling tempo slowly and then faster and faster. Try to hear the 3 different sound from tone to slap to palm,for seperation of sounds. Let me know what u guys think ok?....."JC" Johnny Conga....

You guys are right: D is right and S is left.

A new good book is the one from Zun Zun (Laurent Lamy).
Check it out on the net. It is in French and Spanish.

I also have a great method book (pdf format) and two CDs that go with it. It is in french and I am still downloading the sound files, but if anyone needs it, just contact me.

See ya.
