That video of Michel DeQuevedo playing conga, snare, djembe, and kick drum is pretty original. Seeing him hit the snare with his hand like that makes me cringe, though. I hope he has a technique that keeps him from injuring his hand on the snare rim.

WOW!...give the brother credit for advancing the Cumbia to a whole nother level....but I know that is not what you would play in a band setting of course...it's too busy and he has one mean right hand and great independence.....but hey it's all new to me...I myself teach Cumbia the same way he plays it, but I also learned some "new things" by watching him..very nice!.....Johnny Conga

The two middle drums--- djembes?

I think those are bougarabou drums.
They look a bit like djembe, but sound more like congas. They have more pronounced bass and less slap than a conga, tone is similar and it's easier to get harmonics out of them. I'm not sure from which part of Africa exactly they come, but I've seen some pretty amazing stuff being played on them.

[Mr. Conga]

In my opinion is great to see mutual respect from, one grteat player to the other.

Here's a couple of videos I came accross. Hope you guys will enjoy.

This one for the funkteer in you. This reminds me of the only other English sung Salsa/Funk tune I've ever heard. Don't know the name but the lyrics has a line that says " don't leave your number on the phone, when it comes to you I'm never home" Anyone know the name of the song, the band, and the vocalist? Thanks!

The second one is of a Native-American with pretty good technique. His blending of his native music with conga rhythms, is also pretty good stuff. See his other videos on the same page.
